Reported by Mubarak Ansari
Pune, 5th November 2025: Quick Heal Technologies Limited, a global cybersecurity solutions provider, has announced the launch of Quick Heal Total Security version 26 — a groundbreaking product that integrates advanced privacy tools with predictive artificial intelligence (AI) to offer unmatched protection against cyber threats and online fraud.
Launched as the company marks 30 years of safeguarding millions of users worldwide, version 26 represents a major leap in digital protection, addressing India’s growing concerns over privacy and cybercrime. With 85% of Indians’ personal data reportedly leaked online and cybercriminals causing financial losses of over ₹1.5 lakh per minute, Quick Heal’s new offering aims to combat these rising risks through cutting-edge innovation.
“Quick Heal Total Security version 26 represents our boldest step into the future of cybersecurity,” said Dr. Sanjay Katkar, Joint Managing Director, Quick Heal Technologies Ltd.
“As we celebrate three decades of protecting Indian users, we recognize that the threat landscape is constantly evolving. Today’s challenges demand more than traditional antivirus protection — they require a unified approach that combines privacy, AI-powered prediction, and fraud prevention. With version 26, we are delivering exactly that. Our investment in GoDeep.AI, SIA, and AntiFraud.AI reflects our deep understanding of the real-world challenges users face daily,” he added.
AI-Powered and Privacy-First Protection
At the core of version 26 lies GoDeep.AI, Quick Heal’s proprietary predictive threat-hunting technology. This advanced engine learns from millions of historical threats and evolves daily to detect and block zero-day attacks even before they materialize. By monitoring real-time program behavior, it proactively identifies and halts suspicious activity.
The new release also features SIA (Security Intelligent Assistant) — an AI-driven, human-like assistant built into the software. SIA explains security alerts and resolutions in simple, jargon-free language and guides users through step-by-step solutions, making cybersecurity accessible to everyone regardless of technical expertise.
Enhanced Dark Web Monitoring and Fraud Protection
Dark Web Monitoring 2.0 continuously scans the dark web to detect unauthorized exposure of Aadhaar, PAN, Passport, and other personal credentials. With auto-detection and hands-free activation, users can rest assured that their sensitive data is under constant watch.
Quick Heal has also integrated AntiFraud.AI, India’s first real-time fraud prevention system, directly into version 26. The tool blocks fraudulent apps, fake UPI requests, phishing links, and scam websites, offering all-round protection from financial and data fraud. The system learns continuously from Quick Heal’s verified data pool, ensuring enhanced detection accuracy and user trust.
Seamless Multi-Device Security Management
The upgraded metaProtect feature enables users to manage and enforce security across multiple devices — including laptops, tablets, and smartphones — from a single, unified dashboard. It allows real-time monitoring, scan initiation, and compliance checks while offering instant breach alerts.
Performance and Usability Enhancements
Version 26 includes performance optimizations such as an improved Performance Booster and an enhanced Backup & Restore function, allowing users to reclaim disk space by deleting older backups. The software runs smoothly across Windows 11, 10, and 8 platforms (both 32-bit and 64-bit), ensuring maximum protection without affecting system performance.
