We build tools for the paranoid.
Affordable Security was founded in 2019 by a team of security researchers who were tired of antivirus software that acted like malware.
Our Mission
Modern consumer security software is broken. It's bloated with unneeded features, spams users with terrifying notifications to justify its existence, and often consumes more system resources than the applications it's trying to protect.
We rebuilt the antivirus engine from scratch using Rust. Our goal was simple: create an invisible shield that provides enterprise-grade zero-day protection while using less than 50MB of RAM.
Core Values
Privacy First
We don't harvest your browsing data. We don't sell your information. What happens on your device stays on your device.
Speed Obsessed
Security shouldn't slow you down. Every line of code is optimized for performance and minimal resource footprint.
Radically Transparent
No fear-mongering popups. No fake scanning progress bars. We tell you exactly what we find and how we stopped it.
