I didn't report anything since I don't feel like this is a bug.
Yeah you're right it probably isn't even a bug. It's probably just like that by design. I am sure if they wanted to change it they could easily. So making the new version uninstall the beta and adding an uninstall entry in registry so it shows on Uninstall Programs area would be a feature request. Although I do think they should already do this for obvious reasons.

they might have a different version with Korean language cause remember, the Beta was in Korean.
they don't expect outside of SK people to have the old beta installed

I´ve been conducting one of my standard tests (simulation of polymorphism) with MAX and the results were...interestingly. My sample was composed of 91 malicious binaries gathered a few hours before by maruko. Nothing special, the usual stuff like trojans, coinminers, ransomware and all that nasties.
When I unpacked the samples MAX had a detection rate of 86/91. After using upx on the samples detection rate was going down to 70/91 but MAX submitted new IOCs to the cloud. About 10 minutes later I performed another manual scan with MAX to check whether detection was improved and indeed now 86/91 samples are being detected again. I´ll repeat my test with another sample set later to ensure correct results.
As a second opinion scanner MAX does a good job but I wouldn´t rely completely on it. I was in contact with the manufacturer a few months before and they told me that MAX is completely cloud dependent and there are/were no plans to implement an offline mode. Maybe they have changed their mind in the meantime but this is the information I got a while before.

yes i noticed this too, during malware testing after scanning the folder manually, in 3 minutes, MAX started flagging new files automatically in the same folder it scanned before.

Same here. Touchpad became unresponsive several times after rebooting, with no other security soft installed on Win10. No pop-up/notifications, plus GUI won't open. Seems pretty unstable given as it's a beta version. I like the idea though.
anyone noticed that it used all of the upload bandwidth to share the cache database. I actually authenticated my email and API that when it start uploading.
Say if I have 2300 files in the cache database, I noticed that 53 were already processed. Does that meant I have 2250 more to upload. This could take are day to since it seem to be uploading whole file.

my guess is, it will only upload files that are unknown to the scanner.
I am pretty amaze at this software and think it have potential as a permanent anti-malware solution. At first it seem pretty heavy on the system and once it's finished gathering all the system information, the system load return to normal. A reboot is recommended so it get to scan the boot files. It only spike a little when it come across new files like when installing Norton and Voodooshield. It didn't come across any false positive flag yet. So far so good.

It seem to only to upload suspicious files only. The upload stop after ten minutes of installing Max AI.

I have been testing on laptop and desktop for several days and found that it have a high idle cpu utilization. It also lock up the system when using it with malwarebytes.
My laptop AV combo with norton and Webroot hover around 3-4% at .88 Ghz. Stand alone MAX AI at 10-15% at 1.15 - 1.5 GHZ idle. not to good but other wise have good detection rate and fast learning AI engine.
Work with Norton, Avast, and Webroot as main AV
Work with Voodooshield and Zemania as second AV.
