I knew this AV. This is like Webroot, it has roll-back feature. I never used this software, I cannot tell you more.
It isn't well known in Europa ımho.

Twister AV from Filesclab, seems as I watched those reviews long time before; mostly results verdict are good against grain of salt samples. Their Filesclab Dynamic Defense System is their BB feature as fine feature too which actively monitors for suspicious.

This software was a great hole to malware in it's very old versions, I tested this one time but I got trial from mail, you had to sent a mail then you got a trial key. Missed a lot of malware but todays versions may be quite different, need more recent tests to say something solid lol.

I just did a little test, Twister AV max settings managed to clean most malware from memory after their execution, but it failed extremly with crapware/adware, which was installed and then downloaded additional adware from servers. The protection against non crapware/adware was acceptable compared to other AV's, yet system got malware active in memory at the end.
Temp folders where cleaned before on-demand scans were run, malware samples folder was previously deleted as well.
It looks surprising that on-demand scans showed positives results, but as I saw system got crapware installed anyway.
MBAM scan = Clean
HitmanPro = 1 Service / suspicious
Herdprotect = 3 crapware detections

I have used twister before.
Its dynamic defender can block most of the malware(embedded with cloud analysis)
but the detection rate in 64bit & 32bit are different. maybe the demand scan detection rate is a little low.
