[QUOTE="Der.Reisende, post: 1015104, member: 32430"] AFAIK you can get cheap keys on Amazon.in, but I doubt they will work outside India. For European customers, the price is indeed very steep, much to steep for what you get (1y /1 seat). As stated below, as you said, you're better off with something else. Wow, thank you so much for testing [USER=92939]@Shadowra[/USER]! It's really worrysome QuickHeal let trough a Rootkit o_O Configuring QuickHeal to maximum settings should improve the detection noticable, there will be a lot more warnings than in default settings most likely. [SPOILER="Click me!"] AdvanceDNAScan Behavior detection level: High Anti-Keylogger turned on Firewall Advanced Settings: Firewall level: Strict [/SPOILER] I remember [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER] was positively surprised by QuickHeal about 5 years ago, that's when I came across it, never heard of before. [SPOILER="Youtube"][MEDIA=youtube]6uRveICyW9U[/MEDIA][/SPOILER] However, it seems that QuickHeal cannot catch up with the everevolving blackhat industry. I did some private testing just before requesting a vid review by [USER=92939]@Shadowra[/USER], just to see if the marketing by QuickHeal ([I]GoDeep.AI - AI Enabled Deep Predictive Malware Hunting Technology[/I] is really the gamechanger one would expect - in short: I did not see a single "AI" detection in context scan, not more detections than with version 19, there have been strange-sounding detections which could be those from the AI). I have used version 18 and 19 extensively after purchase as main AV, which wasn't equipped with an AI component AFAIK, it was introduced in the last year(s) and exclusive to the corporate counterpart Sequrite. You can also find a review here: [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/quick-heal-antivirus-pro-v18-00-a-review-by-der-reisende.92728']User Feedback - Quick Heal Antivirus Pro v18.00 - A review by Der.Reisende[/URL] It did not get a clean sheet always, but I have the feeling it had better results in the past. The biggest downside is the very weak signature detection, which does not get better by only a few daily updates, and the very very slow processing of sample submissions (takes days), also QuickHeal tends to be very very late on VirusTotal - for .exe files, which are detected as quickest. Don't even ask about scriptor malware. Which brings me to my second complaint. I had multiple script malwares being blocked partly, however, the AutoRuns remained, so that the attack can start again after reboot.

You need to manually blacklist them! Also, there is no option to (dis)allow once, if you change your mind, you need to update the blacklist. Summing up, QuickHeal is better against .exe malware as against scriptor malware, both in signature detection (scriptors are almost never detected before submission) and in Behaviour detection. What surely has improved over time, is the AntiRansomware module, though it still cannot block Netwalker (PowerShell Ransomware, working over explorer.exe), and most likely also the current Magniber .msi ones. My 2 cents: Don't waste your money on that product anymore folks. P.S. I agree on the web protection, it's one of the stronger parts, at least at malicious URLs, not so on Phishing URLs to my experience, although Internet Security and above have an extra setting for it. P.S.S. Don't even waste your time on the built-in cleaning tool, apart from some traces by an #Adwind RAT infection, it came up with a false negative (clean) sheet, better use HitmanPro or Norton PowerEraser.
