It all started with .NET programming. The antivirus detected only one virus 3 years ago, and finally I got the concept of database of antivirus and put even more efforts to Komal Antivirus.
Q. What is the current status of the product?
A. Currently it can detect more than 17 million threats. It has been certified by OPSWAT and PCSL. I have partnered with researchers to provide a better protection. The only future motive is to provide utmost security in cyberspace by developing this software along with other creative techniques.
