That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 31 of the 56 other antivirus apps grade higher. It costs $19.99 a year. - You could make: Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An engine that recognises new malware as it appears. - You could not: A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
