🦠
99 REAL VIRUSES
From Creeper (1971) to modern APTs — every virus is based on real malware history with authentic lore, unique multipliers, and click messages.

5 PRESTIGE THEMES
Each prestige unlocks a new visual theme — from Cyan Protocol to Golden Epoch to Legend Mode with a rainbow animated title. Play long enough to see them all.

// Quick start guide

HOW TO DOMINATE

01
CLICK TO INFECT
Every click spreads your virus. Click fast to build COMBO multipliers — x10, x25, x50, and x100 combos trigger massive bonus events. Hold the mouse to activate Stealth Mode for near-invisible infection.
02
MANAGE YOUR DETECTION
Every click raises your Detection meter. AV agents on screen increase it continuously. Destroy agents to lower it. Let it reach 100% and the Antivirus contains you — GAME OVER.
03
BUY UPGRADES
Spend infected systems on META UPGRADES (Overclock, Ghost Mode, Proxy Chain) in the right panel, and unlock one-time SPECIAL UPGRADES at the bottom. Get Polymorphic first — it cuts detection by 35%.
04
SURVIVE LEVELS
Each level lasts 2 minutes. Clear the infection target for a bonus. Survive to advance. Every 10 levels earns a permanent boost that carries into every future run forever.
05
PRESTIGE FOR POWER
When you lose, you earn EVO points that permanently increase your next run's power. Each prestige also unlocks a new visual theme. Sometimes losing on purpose is the best strategy.

// Know your threats

ANTIVIRUS THREAT TYPES

8 distinct enemy types patrol the network. Each has unique movement patterns, detection damage, and HP. Learn them to survive the deeper levels.

● SCANNER
Basic antivirus patrol. Low HP, slow detection damage. Your first encounters — easy to destroy but they accumulate.
THREAT 25%
◆ HEURISTIC
Fast-moving behavioral analyzer. Higher detection damage than Scanner. Prioritize these when they appear.
THREAT 45%
✚ KERNEL GUARD
Has a visible countdown timer. Destroy it before the timer runs out or receive +20% detection instantly. Do not ignore this.
THREAT 70%
🛡 FIREWALL
Slow but tanky. Steady detection drain even while moving. Takes more hits to kill but rewards handsomely.
THREAT 55%
⚡ AEGIS SYSTEMS
First boss. Appears at 1,500 infected. High HP, fast movement. Drops 800 bonus infected on defeat.
BOSS
🛡 ARGUS SECURITY
Second boss. Appears at 10,000 infected. 6 HP, shields pattern. +2,500 bonus on defeat.
BOSS
☢ AV OMEGA
Third boss. Appears at 60,000 infected. 9 HP, rotating star shape. +12,000 on defeat.
BOSS
💀 SENTINEL CORP
Final boss. Appears at 400,000 infected. 14 HP, fastest movement. +50,000 on defeat. A true endgame threat.
