What is Progress?Progress Antivirus — is the world’s first decentralized antivirus based on blockchain technology and using of PoEW Consensus.ConceptThe principle of its operation is based on keeping the hashlists of safe and malicious files (whitelist, blacklist) in the blockchain. When a user runs an executable file on their computer, Progress instead of antivirus runs the file against our white and blacklists. Thus, it may block or allow the launch. Progress uses a distributed network of nodes, where files are analysed and classified using neural networks, machine learning with elements of artificial intelligence, scanning for malicious behaviour.Progress’s concept is based on a new generation of protection which is based on distributed cloud computing, crypto-economic properties based on blockchain, white-hashing, machine learning, AI, BigData, and network reputation effect.This model, combining the above mentioned technologies, will allow Progress to provide extremely effective protection and respond to new emerging threats by forming a qualitatively new paradigm in which users will become the part of the network.
