THE DECIDER
LightGBM
Looks at a file's structure and calls it malware or safe — the main verdict. A gradient-boosted model trained on a huge malware dataset.

On-device antivirus for Windows. A local AI judges every file and process in ~2 ms — nothing is sent to the cloud.
Runs where you can't see it.
Answers to no one.
MLP-01 // WHAT IT IS
Malphas is antivirus for Windows that runs entirely on your own machine. Every file, download and program is checked by a local AI the instant it appears — and a verdict comes back in under two milliseconds, without ever contacting a server.
Ordinary antivirus ships your files to its cloud to decide if they're safe. Malphas doesn't. The judgment happens here — then it stays here.
MLP-02 // HOW IT WORKS
The moment a file lands or a program starts, Malphas catches it — down at the Windows kernel, before it gets to run.
A local AI reads it and returns a verdict in about two milliseconds. No upload, no account, no waiting on a server.
Anything dangerous is blocked — or detonated inside a sealed sandbox — and you get a plain-English reason why.
MLP-03 // ON-DEVICE AI · NO CLOUD IN THE LOOP
This is the part people don't expect: the AI itself lives on your PC. Three small models split the work — one decides, one reads text, one explains — and none of them ever phone home.
THE DECIDER
Looks at a file's structure and calls it malware or safe — the main verdict. A gradient-boosted model trained on a huge malware dataset.
THE READER
Reads the text of links and pages to catch phishing — but only when the decider is unsure, so it never slows down the obvious cases.
THE EXPLAINER
Writes the plain-English reason a file was flagged. It only narrates — it's never allowed to overturn the verdict.
HOW A THREAT IS JUDGED — FASTEST CHECK FIRST
MLP-04 // DETECTION · CATCH IT IN THE ACT
Here's a real threat moving through Malphas, one stage at a time — inspected, judged, boxed in, then explained. Scroll to walk it through.
The file is dissected without running it — headers, imports, entropy, section layout.
Posed as a system process, tried to inject, persist, and call out. Caught before it ran.

NEUTRALIZED
MLP-05 // DEFENSE · FOUR FRONTS
An attack can arrive as a file, a running program, a network connection, or a foothold deep in Windows. Malphas covers all four — here's what each front does.
FILES & DOWNLOADS
Every download and new file is checked before you can open it — run past the on-device AI in a couple of milliseconds. Bad ones never get a first run.
EXECUTION
Anything suspicious is run inside a sealed sandbox. It thinks it's on your real system — but it can't touch it. If it's hostile, it goes off harmlessly, while Malphas watches what it tries to do.
NETWORK
Malphas reads network traffic as it happens and judges it on your machine. Known-dangerous sites are quietly blocked — allow-list first, and it fails open, so a mistake never cuts off your internet.
SYSTEM & KERNEL
Malphas watches from inside Windows itself, but keeps almost nothing running with full system power — only a tiny 22 KB helper. Less privileged code means less for an attacker to hijack.
MLP-06 // LOCAL vs CLOUD
Same job, two places to do it. A cloud antivirus sends your files off to a server to decide; Malphas decides on your machine. Here's what that changes.
MLP-07 // FLEET · MALPHAS ENTERPRISE
The free version protects one machine. Enterprise adds a single console to see and manage every endpoint in an organisation — with the audit trail and signed updates a security team needs.
MLP-08 // DOWNLOAD
Same engine underneath. One machine, or the whole fleet.
