v18.00
There are no statistics available yet.
Rating to be changed as soon there is at least on month of Malware HUB input.

v17.00 was mediocre in terms of protection, refer to the links in the full article regarding the 0day-HUB tests.

Signatures are still below average. Much better dynamic protection (Advanced DNAScan, opt-in Anti-Keylogger, Web Security scans traffic, all new Total Ransomware Protection w/ secure folders, 2-way-firewall, 1-way-firewall by default, Trusted EMail Clients Protection)

Might be the cost pulled their socks OFF/still i think QH uses Cloud (BD-Nimbus) for web protection
Another reason might be (SEQRITE seems to have employed a new ML engine , i read they already implemented in enterprise products)
so future idea might be adding the same engine to home products ;)
Yes, i also was very curious when i read about GoDeep ML Engine!
Hope it finds it‘s way in at least TS soon!

Agree, could really be using BD cloud, many pages blocked by webshield were also blocked by BD extension in Brave (Chrome fork, but some also only by QH).

can you compare QuickHeal and Wisevector?
I think Wisevector is very good besides its too simple coding. Most malwares are detected by its ML engine, the rest might be detected on execution
I think it's even lighter than other AVs

you can check Harlan's test in WV thread. Almost all are detected on context scan
