Second opinion scanner.

It is amazing how fast the full scan is (~10 secs) and it can find anything suspicious, unlike other scanners, which take longer, much longer. I gave up on EEK after 5 mins (45%).

As I was on a NPE and KVRT obsession recently I produced and will release 2 Fun Fact videos that will contrast the detection abilities of N and K that will hopefully amuse and enlighten.

You are soooo correct!

Thanks! I was aware of this and will be kinda-sorta (in the usual opaque manner) dealing with in next weeks KVRT Fun Fact video.

Pls also check McAfee getsusp and ESET SysInspector.

Fantastic video as always. NPE always surprises me and quickly becoming my go to choice for On Demand scanning.

Thanks for testing. What I like about your videos is that you clearly explain the test case at the start and provide a summary at the end.

I also appreciate your choice of music most of the times, even though I often do not know the artist (so a secondary thank you for the music education )

And sometines you make me smile when you add some light irony with a wink by obviously falsifying the over hyped marketing claims of some vendors

Overall, @cruelsister keeps her vids short and sweet.

Yup, I even watch them, someone posts a video longer than 5 minutes and I ain't watching usually.

The only second hand AM software I use.

I use NPE when I feel the need for a 2d opinion. Here NPE full scan took 1m57.9s (not 10 sec mentioned above, but 2 min scan is relatively fast compared to some other 2d op scanners)

 

[Digmor Crusher]

Sorry

He he, I'm more interested in the results of your videos than watching them block or not block malware. I skim thru the odd one.

NPE does not appear to have a local detection database and mainly relies on cloud reputation scanning. As a result, its scan speed is faster compared to other scanners.

That's explain why custom scan is so slow - over 10 hours for drive c: and still going. It reminds me of WiseVector StopX and X-Sec Malware Scanner.

Doesn't seem to be stuck.

Probably should have disabled Kaspersky Free real-time protection before running it. Anyway, thanks for the test, CS. Good to know NPE is still a reliable scanner.
