It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

I think it is because he uses old malware samples possibly.
Yes . And with vxvault urls :D

Our member have one very good test before one year.

This is his comment (translated from French)
XyWall is an antivirus software project developed by RxCloud.
This software aims to be NextGen and offers you free protection via the Cloud and by synchronizing data via a cache for protection without an Internet network.
The program includes an antivirus engine, a HIPS module (a bit like that of Norton with SONAR), an AI Machine Learning (which is Alix), a community cloud (VirusTotal with VTCloud), a malware damage repair function etc.

In this test, the software reacts correctly. Recent and even old threats are blocked and removed!
At startup, XyWall launches an IFC analysis which will simply classify the files by level of dangerousness in order to avoid false positives.
The analysis is super fast! Maybe because our tester performed this test on a 4G connection?
The software is very light.

But 2 points which is a pity:

- Several false positives (In the non-test, in our solo test, XyWall detected NPE and ProcessHacker as infection while they are healthy)
- No web protection, damage.

We welcome the efforts that RxCloud wishes to offer us, namely a NextGen antivirus project, which is very very effective, we can recommend this software and give our congratulations!

Most of them were detected as Low Reputation, which tells me that they may detect any file that isnt known to them, not to mention it detected normal adware as trojans.
Had a look at their website and they mentioned behavioural detection along with cloud and community cloud, so it is promising. It seems that they're using their own engine.

Haha...already I know how it works :) They use on page small "funny" trick to download free version. If you think that it's easy and it's enough to clik button "XyWall Anti-Malware Free Home" you are wrong...this button enables text below - "Télécharger XyWall Anti-Malware Free Home " and that is real button to get ziped installation pack 😎

Wow this software is hard to find when you google search it! I see what they mean about the download link. Any new AV tests? How would you rate it against WiseVector Stop X ?

The software page is very poor, there is no privacy policy and it is not even a company that develops the software. I wouldn't install it on a productive PC. From the software developer, well he just did a lot of testing on youtube with a particular malware. And then this new program appears.

the software developer's youtube channel, I think it was already posted here on the forum.

Its the same for every single program on the internet, it starts slow, over time when the product receives more users and feedback it will obviously get better.
