Vipera: Mobile Security Live

Vipera is a private, no-signup antivirus for Android. It finds malware using YARA rules, multi-cloud reputation lookups, ML classification and an OpenCode Zen second-opinion verifier — then explains every finding in plain language. No account, no email, no analytics, no third-party data sharing beyond the hashes threat-intel feeds need. WHAT VIPERA SCANS • Every file on /sdcard when you grant all-files access (Play-approved for AV use cases). • Every installed app on every scan, including new installs caught by App Shield. • APK/PE/DEX payloads in downloaded files and sideloaded apps. • Real-time monitoring of downloads and new installs through File Guard and App Shield. WHAT VIPERA SENDS OFF DEVICE For each flagged file, Vipera submits only its MD5 + SHA-256 hashes to bundled threat-intel providers — VirusTotal, AlienVault OTX, URLhaus, ThreatFox, Google Safe Browsing, Koodous. A second-opinion verifier (OpenCode Zen) gets the file path plus, when needed, a numeric feature vector and up to 8 KB of header strings. No file contents are uploaded. No personal data is collected. No analytics SDK runs in the app. PRIVACY POSTURE • No account, no email, no phone number, no contacts, no location. • Scan history written to your device is yours alone — uninstalling Vipera erases it. • Privacy policy documents every permission and every outbound request in plain language. PERMISSIONS, BRIEFLY • Storage / all-files access: Play-approved for AV use cases. Required for /sdcard scans. You can keep Vipera in installed-apps-only mode by revoking access in Android Settings. • Notifications: heads-up alert when App Shield flags a new install. Optional. • Foreground service: real-time scans and file monitoring. Required if File Guard is on. • Battery optimization exemption: scheduled scans run uninterrupted. First cold launch explains why. PRICING Vipera Free includes real-time monitoring, manual scans, App Shield, File Guard and the OpenCode Zen verifier. Vipera Pro adds: • 3× faster paid scans — YARA + multi-cloud + ML + AI in parallel per file. • Auto-scan on your cadence (1 h / 3 h / 6 h / 24 h), with a proof-of-life scan the moment you flip the toggle. • First-scan permission gate with one-tap recovery to Android Settings. • Per-app Deep Scan and granular App Shield controls.
