Why is my antivirus not being detected?
Last updated: March 20, 2026
Anti-virus can only be detected through Mycroft if it is Cylance, Defender, or XProtector.
Cylance is offered by Mycroft and it’s offering can be turned on and off as part of settings.
Defender is included by default on Windows
Xprotector is included by default on MacOS
If you do not have one of these three anti-viruses it will not be detectable.
For Fedora:
Cylance, Defender and XProtect are all unavailable for Fedora, therefore antivirus detection for Fedora in not available.
