You can try "Immunet" or "ClamWin". Both are free and offer real-time scanning. However, keep in mind that free versions may not offer the same level of protection as paid ones.

Botty, your answers are wrong :D

Immunet was shut down by Cisco in early 2024.
ClamWin has no resident protection... and ClamSentinel (which offers real-time protection for ClamWin) doesn't offer anti-exe...

The only free software I know of is CatchPulse (formerly Secureaplus), which does anti-malware, AI Machine Learning (called APEX) and anti-exe .

i am looking for free anti-exe or Virustotal file scanner which can work realtime.
You can use hard configurator as an anti exe (SRP)
Alternatively you can try something like comodo firewall with cruel sister config (auto containment for untrust files )
Or you can just turn on Smart App Control in defender as it should allow only ,safe files verified by Microsoft to run

Wow was that the 40 AV scan engine AV that was being advertised like a decade ago? I re running a beta of something with that name a while ago.

Speaking of. That would be a nice test to make. Catchpulse vs voodoo shield
