I have used the program before, and it worked fine for me, but how it works now I do not know, but I will gladly have a license from you

I wouldn’t really use it, I can only classify it as a joke.

I agree, IMO there have been some bizarre AV's posted here on the forum that make me scratch my head as why to use them, let alone we then want @Shadowra to test them?

Indeed, the “unknown” is always attractive to explore, but the “unknown” is also “unknown” for a reason. If it was so good, we would all use it and know about it.

It had its glory moment in the forum here...for about 10 minutes.

Or, as this quote made popular by (misattributed to) Andy Warhol, "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes".

If I remember correctly, didn't it use the Avira SDK?

Agreed.

I'd love a license to test it on my VM
Thanks a lot!

It did, but it performs very poorly, so poorly that I didn’t realise it is there! Not sure if it is due to lack of cloud access, or configuration (for example AHEaD may be configured to be very mild). Web blocking is also almost non-existent. You can do better by installing literally everything else.

Looks like they moved away from Avira, calling it "legacy engine/Avira".

They say “Next-Gen” engine and then further on in the article talk about definitions and vdf updates. The engine version 8.something looks like they are using a third-party engine (not sure whose, Bitdefender engine is at version 7.something so can’t be them). Sophos is at 3.8 as well. Newly developed engine can’t already be version 8.

Next-gen engine would require an update once in a while and the usage of machine learning, not “vdf files” and signatures. Very weird.

You are right. Whole thing doesn't make sense. They are saying "legacy engine/Avira" and still using Avira SDK even on non-legacy version as that v8.19.19.134 vdf is also from Avira.

Who knows, this AV could be right up there with Tachyon?

App Review - TACHYON Internet Security v6

Tachyon is a South Korean antivirus, totally unknown. Tachyon used to have a free version for personal use, but this has now disappeared. The publisher has partnered with Bitdefender to include its engine in this v6 . Please note, however, that this is just the SDK engine, with no access to the...

Using a bunch of fancy terms and Marvel-inspired names, for very much legacy and standard technology, that requires ~5 updates a day to stay ahead of malware. Huge red flag.
