Advice Request Free AV with real-time protection and small impact on performance

[Chuck57]

Wisevector. There are 2 versions, both free right now. Use 2.73 if you already have a firewall of choice. Or, you can opt for their 3.03 beta if you want a firewall and HIPS. I use version 2.73 with Comodo firewall (properly set up), and find the combination gives rock solid protection,

The new v3.03 is a stable release, not a beta. Even though there's still no paid version yet.

Do they have certifications like ISO 27001 for this piece of software? Or any tests in well known security organizations? If you want to sell something, someone has to be interested to buying it

Hello League

I remind you that Wisevector is very new, and it seems to me that they are few to develop it.
It is not at all comparable to Bitdefender, Avira or Norton!
So I think you are a bit hard on them....
On the other hand for the work they have done, I find it impressive, even if they have to improve as I told them.

Based on feedback of people using it, here and at Wilders, I would seem there are plenty of people who would buy it.

Of course, relying on the opinion of random people from the Internet is always better than an opinion supported by reliable tests and certifications

It's done very well when tested here at the Malware Hub, performing as well as established big name antiviruses and also when tested by Cruelsister. So it's more than just opinion.

I'm surprised that you say that because you also do Antivirus testing ....
Like me, cruelsister etc....

I understand his point of view. Getting tested by trustable professional lab testers, getting certified by Microsoft for integration into Windows Security, etc. seal of approvals is required to build trust on the product as well as the company. These are a must for any product that provides real time protection.
