Also you can’t use two antivirus packages at the same time and combine their protection.
But PolySwarm planning to solve this issue. It will bring enterprises, consumers, vendors and geographically-diverse security experts together into a single marketplace for more complete threat detection. Which I thing very good concept.
Keep in mind that all antivirus providers (big players) have the "closed" systems; so you can't really know what the system is doing in your computer; you just trust it is not doing anything suspicious. Now you are shifting your trust to those experts in the field.
Lots companies are making antivirus but sometimes that's also not fully protecting to your system. As polyswarm is really doing something different.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence is certainly the way forward in IT security, it will be interesting to see some more updates from the team in regards to the implementation
PolySwarm is more of an initiative that facilitates rather than implements. Security Experts are to be accepting tasks to which they offer solutions with tokens in return, am I mistaken?
So I can send them a file and check for malware, viruses or the like? Or do I immediately send files that I know are contaminated, and the team tries to solve the problem in competition with each other?
From what I understood, is that Polyswam is the platform where companies in need of security fixes meet with security experts (freelancers), usage of tokens on a blockchain brings with it the decentralization, immutability, lightning fast smart contracts, transparency
