Quick Heal unveils AI-powered Total Security version 26 for next-gen cyber protection

Marking 30 years of cybersecurity innovation, Quick Heal’s latest release combines AI-driven prediction, privacy-first design, and anti-fraud intelligence to defend Indian users from evolving digital threats and financial scams

Quick Heal Technologies, a global cybersecurity solutions provider, has announced the launch of Quick Heal Total Security version 26, a major advancement in the company’s three-decade-long mission to protect users worldwide. This next-generation solution integrates artificial intelligence with advanced privacy protection to deliver powerful defense against rising cyber threats and fraud attempts targeting Indian users.

The launch arrives amid growing concerns over digital privacy, with reports indicating that nearly 85% of Indians’ personal data has already been compromised online, while cybercriminals cause losses exceeding ₹1.5 lakh per minute. Quick Heal Total Security version 26 directly addresses these issues with cutting-edge tools built on 30 years of innovation, research, and customer trust.

Commenting on the launch, Dr. Sanjay Katkar, Joint Managing Director at Quick Heal Technologies Limited, said, “Quick Heal Total Security version26 represents our boldest step into the future of cybersecurity. As we celebrate 30 years of protecting Indian users, we recognize that the threat landscape is constantly transforming. Today's challenges demand more than traditional antivirus protection; they require a comprehensive approach that combines privacy, AI-powered prediction, and fraud prevention into a unified solution. With version26, we are delivering on that promise. Our investment in GoDeep.AI, SIA, and the integration of AntiFraud.AI reflects our deep understanding of the real-world challenges our users face daily. This launch reaffirms our commitment to building a secure digital India where every citizen can participate in the digital economy with complete confidence and peace of mind.”

Advanced AI, privacy tools, and fraud protection

The new version introduces SIA (Security Intelligent Assistant), an AI-powered security assistant built into the desktop software that simplifies cybersecurity through intuitive, conversational guidance. It explains alerts, provides walkthroughs, and offers quick fixes in clear, user-friendly language — empowering even non-technical users.

At its core, GoDeep.AI, Quick Heal’s predictive threat-hunting technology, continuously learns from millions of past threats to detect and neutralize zero-day attacks before they occur. Dark Web Monitoring 2.0 adds another layer of defense by tracking sensitive information and preventing misuse or identity theft.

The integration of AntiFraud.AI ensures real-time protection against digital scams, including fake UPI requests, phishing links, and fraudulent banking calls. Enhanced with metaProtect integration, users can remotely manage security across multiple devices, monitor compliance, and receive instant breach alerts.

With performance optimizations such as a Performance Booster and upgraded Backup & Restore, version 26 enhances speed and usability while maintaining top-tier protection. Available for Windows 8, 10, and 11 (both 32-bit and 64-bit systems), Quick Heal Total Security version 26 combines powerful AI innovation with user-centric design to deliver seamless, intelligent, and reliable digital protection.
