I ran a test of it in VM and here is the result.

I ran it in VM in win 7 64bit. I infected the the vm with 5 fresh zero-day malwares ( a few hours old). I full-scanned with Cezurity which took a long time and it found 15 bugs. After it removed the bugs and I restarted the pc and clean with ccleaner for left over junk. There was nothing of malware short-cuts left on desktop and the pc felt fast and as new. I checked to see if anything is running in process or auto-run in the back-ground and there was no malware running. Still I scanned with hitman-pro and it found 5 infection in temp folder and a-lot of adwares and some toolbars, all considered traces.

Still the pc was functional and normal. I think Cezurity did a great job in finding since these were fresh few hours old zero-day malwares. But it needs better at cleaning or removing the infections traces it finds.

Hopefully, it will remain free. They also have their own security suite in *real time* besides the On-demand scanner.

* A quick check of your computer takes a few minutes
* Uses few system resources so that the scan does not affect the operation of your computer and is therefore unnoticeable

How Antivirus Scanner works

Antivirus Scanner is a new generation of anti-malware approaches. Previously, antivirus performed a series of tests designed to search files on the infected computer. Computer files were compared with samples of malicious code (signatures that define malware). Antivirus software was looking to see if the files on your computer match with the database of viruses.

With the rapid increase in the number of malicious programs, the number of required inspections has also increased. At the same time, they occurred locally, i.e. on the user's computer. As a result, scanning required a lot of time (usually several hours) and system resources. The general principle of such protection - "allow all that is not in the signature bases."

Antivirus Scanner Cezurity is built differently. First, required information is collected from the user's computer, digital fingerprints (hashes) and other properties of the critical files. The data is transmitted to the cloud, and is analyzed there.

Unlike traditional antivirus, Antivirus Scanner is not looking for malware within a huge amount of information stored on your computer, but on the contrary, it ensures that each of the critical system files is free from infection. Therefore, it is a different type of test - "allow only what is guaranteed is not infected."

This approach allows you to test the system quickly, within a few minutes, and discreetly, without taking up system resources. Accuracy of detection of active malware is often higher than that of a conventional antivirus, for example, in a case where malware hides its presence in the system (rootkits).

The scanner is not designed to prevent contamination, as it does not protect the computer in real time (on-access scanning). Regular inspections by Antivirus Scanner Cezurity allow to notice and to cure the infection on time.
