Protect your PC,
quietly and reliably.
MIKAGE is an antivirus for Windows & Linux combining multi-layer detection (hash matching, YARA rules, and heuristics) with real-time monitoring. Built in Rust, it stays out of your way — and both products are free.
Three products to protect your PC and network.
Use them alone or together. Both are free.
MIKAGE Antivirus
Endpoint protection combining hash matching, YARA rules, and heuristic analysis with real-time monitoring and a quarantine vault.
MIKAGE NET
Scans devices and routers on your home private network for known vulnerabilities (CVEs) and end-of-life models. Designed so it cannot scan networks other than your own.
Every layer of defense, in one app.
From detection to real-time monitoring, quarantine, and ad blocking — everything you need for security in a single application.
Multi-Layer Detection Engine
Combines SHA-256/MD5 hash matching, 19,000+ YARA rules, and heuristic analysis to detect known and unknown threats from multiple angles.
Real-Time Monitoring
Detects changes to designated folders in real time and warns you of threats immediately.
Quarantine Vault
Detected files are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and quarantined. Easy to restore in case of a false positive.
Ad & Malware Blocking
Blocks connections to ad and malware-serving sites at the DNS level.
English & Japanese UI
From settings to alerts, the entire interface is available in natural English or Japanese.
Lightweight & Fast
Built in Rust to keep CPU and memory usage minimal while running in the background.
Clear, no-guesswork design.
See your protection status at a glance on the dashboard. Drag-and-drop scanning is also supported.

Frequently asked questions
Which operating systems are supported?
We support Windows 10/11 and major Linux distributions (.deb).
Is MIKAGE free?
Yes. MIKAGE Antivirus and MIKAGE NET are completely free, with every feature included. No license key or sign-up is needed.
Is there a paid version or any feature limit?
No. There is no paid edition; every feature is free.
Is MIKAGE safe? Does it send personal or company data externally?
By default, file contents and personal information are never sent to an external server. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Can I use it alongside Windows Defender?
Yes. MIKAGE does not register itself as an antivirus product in the Windows Security Center and performs no kernel-level blocking, so it does not conflict with Defender's real-time protection.
Does it work offline?
Scanning itself works offline. An internet connection is needed only to update the virus definition database.
How is the virus definition database updated?
You can fetch the latest detection data from within the app or via the included command-line tool. An internet connection is required.
What if I want to use it on multiple PCs?
There is no limit. Install it for free on every PC you use.
How do I deploy it across a business or many PCs?
Businesses can use MIKAGE for free too. See our Business page or contact us for deployment help.
Do I need to install both products together?
No. The two products are independent. Download only the ones you need.
Is any personal information collected?
By default, no personal information or file contents are sent externally. See our Privacy Policy for details.
