02
ClamAV signatures, the YARA rules of signature-base and php-malware-finder, and the secscan heuristics for web malware, secrets and vulnerable dependencies. The same engines as the secscan sandbox, on your computer.

Within seconds the file is encrypted into the quarantine, where it cannot run. You decide later: restore it if it was a mistake, or delete it for good.
04
A notification on the computer, an email to you, and the protection status of every computer in your secscan profile. Only the detection name and a checksum leave the computer, never the file or its name.

Guard works next to Microsoft Defender, which stays on and keeps blocking files before they run. Guard adds the secscan engines and reacts right after a file is written. No kernel driver, nothing that can stop Windows from starting.
Files are checked on your computer. secscan receives detection names and checksums only; a file is uploaded only when you send it for deep analysis yourself. Your sign-in is protected by Windows (DPAPI), the quarantine is encrypted.
The installer and Guard's own programs carry an Authenticode signature; the detection data is signed with an Ed25519 key and checked before every use. Compare the SHA-256 checksum below before you install.

It is encrypted with a key that only your Windows account can open, and the original is removed. Restoring puts it back exactly as it was.
Yes, in Windows Settings › Apps. Your quarantine stays in your user folder, so no isolated file is lost by removing the program.
