Checks and coverage
An engine that did not run is not-run. Partial work stays partial; failures are errors. Product evidence names the build, environment and contrary control.
Trust & evidence
Architecture is an explanation. Product control cases, effective settings and verified outcomes are the evidence.
Explore the product, its layered checks and their actual prerequisites. Planned recovery, intelligence and wider platform coverage are qualified separately.

File contents and private AI stay inside the approved private environment, and files are sent automatically only to XiGuard's own analysis service. Public reputation receives hashes or URLs. Coming community sharing sends anonymous fingerprints only; it is on by default with a one-click Off. Optional analysis transfer must disclose consent and custody.
No automatic process killing or network blocking. Changes to startup items and services are user-initiated, confirmed by an administrator, audited and reversible. Community votes and AI output have no command authority. Privileged remote actions use their own pinned offline-key channel and guardrails.
A user-mode agent can be stopped by an administrator-level attacker. Independently enforced native policies and suitably protected retained storage define the remaining backstops.
Microsoft Defender stays the Windows real-time antivirus. XiGuard never registers as its replacement, weakens it or adds exclusions — it adds a second layer of evidence and review. Compare real outcomes against a Defender-on baseline.
XiGuard adds a detection-and-review layer on top of the antivirus you already have. Windows is the first platform.
