Pull the verdicts you already have
Aftermath reads Windows Defender's own detection history and event logs. It never rescans your files or claims to catch something Defender missed.
AFTERMATH
Aftermath shows you exactly what an infection changed on a Windows machine, and helps you undo it — after your antivirus has already caught the threat.
Defender flags the file. It doesn't tell you about the startup entry, the scheduled task, or the browser extension it left behind. Aftermath finds that — so the same machine doesn't come back to you in three weeks.

The problem
The problem
"Threat removed" is where most tools stop. It's rarely where the problem actually ends.
Without Aftermath
- Defender closes the alert, no record of what else was checked
- Startup entries and scheduled tasks checked by hand, tool by tool
- No way to tell if a later problem is a new infection or the same one
- Every machine gets the same manual walkthrough, from scratch
With Aftermath
- One place to see everything Defender already caught
- Startup, persistence, and network artifacts checked in one pass
- A saved baseline flags anything that changes afterward
- The same triage runs against every machine that needs it

The platform
The platform
A real desktop app, not a concept.
Aftermath runs locally on Windows 10/11 — no account, no cloud upload, no second detection engine pretending to compete with Defender. What's below is the actual page structure.
Windows 10/11
No account required
No cloud upload
Aftermath finds what changed since the last clean scan — it does not itself decide whether Defender's original detection was correct. That judgment call is still yours; Aftermath's job stops at showing you everything the infection left behind.

How it works
How it works
Five steps. No new engine to trust.
Find what removal left behind
Startup entries, scheduled tasks, persistence keys, network artifacts — checked in one pass instead of five separate native tools.
Remove it, without guessing
Flagged items move to a restorable quarantine — not a permanent delete — so a wrong call doesn't break the machine.
Snapshot the clean state
Drift compares the machine against that snapshot later, so a silent reinfection shows up as a flagged change, not a mystery.
Repeat it across other machines
When one machine isn't the only one at risk, Sweep pushes the same triage to a host list — agentless, no standing account.

Built for real work
Built for real work
Situations Aftermath was actually built to handle.
Problem
A machine gets cleaned, but something comes back a few weeks later. Nobody knows if it's a new infection or the same one that never fully left.
Aftermath
A saved baseline flags exactly what changed since the last clean scan — the new scheduled task, the modified run key.
Result
The real reinfection vector, instead of a second guessing game.
Problem
Defender says "threat removed" and closes the notification. There's no visibility into whether anything else is still on the machine.
Aftermath
Detections, Exposure, and History lay out everything Defender caught and what's still present, in one view.
Result
Confidence the cleanup is actually done — not just quiet.
Problem
One person is responsible for several machines and there's no budget for a full EDR platform to watch all of them.
Aftermath
Sweep pushes the same triage to a host list — agentless, no software to deploy ahead of time, no standing account.
Result
The same visibility across several machines, without a new platform to buy.
Problem
Cleanup was done, but there's nothing to show for it afterward — no record of what was found or removed.
Aftermath
Pro and Max tiers export a branded PDF report straight from a session.
Result
A record that closes the ticket, instead of a memory of what happened.
05
Business value
Business value
What actually changes when you use it.
Save time
One pass through Startup, Persistence, and Network instead of five separate native tools, checked by hand.
Catch what's easy to miss
A saved baseline flags silent changes automatically — no need to remember what "normal" looked like.
Move faster on real tickets
Detections and History put what Defender already found in front of you immediately, not buried in Event Viewer.
Cover more ground
Sweep repeats the same triage across a host list without deploying agents ahead of time.
Undo safely
Quarantine, not permanent delete, by default — a wrong call doesn't turn into a second incident.
Leave a record
A branded, exportable report closes the loop on what was found and what was done about it.
06
Scale
Scale
Starts on one machine. Doesn't stop there.
One machine
No account, runs fully offline. Free covers a real cleanup; Plus/Pro/Max add deeper investigation, Drift baselines, and reporting.
A handful of hosts
One person triaging several machines from a single session — agentless push/pull, no software pre-deployed, no standing account.
The organization
Fleet, a separate product built for this: unlimited hosts, an org account, role-based access, and priority support.

A day with Aftermath
A day with Aftermath
One technician, one ticket, start to finish.
-
8:03 AM
A ticket comes in
Defender flagged something on a shared machine overnight. The alert says "threat removed" — nothing else.
-
9:17 AM
Overview shows the full picture
Two detections already quarantined by Defender. Persistence shows three startup entries Defender never touched.
-
10:42 AM
Cleanup runs
The leftover entries move to quarantine. History logs the action with a timestamp, restorable if anything breaks.
-
1:15 PM
A baseline gets saved
Drift now has a clean snapshot of this machine — any future change shows up as a flagged difference, not a surprise.
-
3:40 PM
Sweep checks the neighbors
Four other machines shared the same network drive. Sweep runs the same triage against all four from one session.
-
5:02 PM
The ticket closes with a record
A branded PDF export goes into the ticket — what was found, what was removed, and when.
08
Centralization
Centralization
Aftermath doesn't replace Defender. It replaces the pile of native tools you'd otherwise open around it.
- Autoruns — startup entries
- Event Viewer — detection history
- Task Scheduler — scheduled tasks
- Registry Editor — persistence keys
- Browser extension lists — hijacked settings
- A text file of notes — what you found, where
One Aftermath session

Trust & control
Trust & control
No detection engine of its own, so there's nothing about its findings to take on faith — only how it handles them.
Activity history
Every scan, quarantine action, and Drift check is logged locally.
Data retention
Control how long History and Artifacts are kept, from Settings.
Scan behavior
Configure what Aftermath watches, in plain settings — nothing hidden.
Administrator controls
Transparent about exactly which actions need elevated rights, and why.
Quarantine, not delete
Every removal is restorable by default until you purge it yourself.
License management
See and manage your tier directly from Settings → License.
Branded reports
Exportable PDF record of a session — Pro and Max tiers.
Permissions & privacy
Clear about exactly what Aftermath reads and touches, and nothing more.

Why Aftermath
Why Aftermath
| Manual approach | Aftermath |
|---|---|
| Hunt across Autoruns, Event Viewer, Task Scheduler, and the registry separately | One view: Detections, Startup, Persistence, Network, System |
| Run a second AV engine and hope it agrees with the first | Reads the verdicts your existing Defender already reached — no second engine to trust |
| Delete and hope nothing breaks | Quarantine with restore, not permanent by default |
| Repeat the same walkthrough by hand on every machine | Sweep pushes the same triage to a host list, agentless |
| No record of what was actually done | Branded, exportable report — Pro and Max tiers |
