Hello all,

Has Anyone used this software? I uploaded a sample to Virustotal today and there i saw a vendor with name as "MAX". Is it MAX Secure? I'll be uploading the .JPEG file from virustotal page.

Can someone please test this software? Would be quite interesting.

Thanks & regards.

From memory this is using Bitdefender signatures. However, I may be wrong as it's a year or two since I've tried it.

They also publish an anti spyware program, Max Secure Spyware Detector which uses their own signatures, and has issues with false positives. I helped them remove a few false positives 10+ years ago.

This is what VirusTotal have to say about the MAX scanner they are using now (it has nothing to do with the Indian antivirus).
VirusTotal Blog: VirusTotal += MAX
We welcome MAX scanner to VirusTotal. This scanner was developed by Saint Security Inc, headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. In the words of the company:

"MAX is a machine learning and cloud-based next-generation antivirus engine to identify malware with AI, previously unknown and well-known both. MAX, as a part of malwares.com Project launched by Saint Security in 2014, is designed to detect malware by utilizing a great deal of intelligence data of malwares.com. It identifies various malware by nature and maximizes detection rate and minimizes false-positives with multi-layer and whitelist learning. In addition, MAX detects various types of file such as Windows binary files (32bit, 64bit), Linux elf files, mobile APK files, etc."
