Is there a portable version of WVSX to scan the PC? I can't play forza horizon 5 (Steam) when i have WVSX!

Hi,
Sorry, no portable version now.
Was there any alert showing WVSX stopped forza horizon?
Or you can try to add forza horizon to the exclusions of WVSX Advanced Protection.

Just installed version 3.05 from the link that Petrovic kindly provided (thanks!). When the installer is run a question is asked if the previous version should be overwritten, followed by a reboot request upon completion. Personally (for no specific reason in this case) to uninstall 3.03 first, reboot, then install 3.05- but that's just me...

Please note that the WiseVector website still pushes out version 3.03 (and for giggles note the memory utilization diffference between WD and WVSX).

Thank you very much @WiseVector!

I use WV since its first versions, and its development over time is fantastic. In the beginning I felt the need to install other AVs, but the other AVs never detected or prevented problems that WV had not solved before.

Today I have no more other AV. I only keep the unbeatable WV + CF@Cruelsister combo. But considering that CF hasn't had any updates for a long time, and it's not adapted for Windows 11... for the first time I'm seriously thinking of keeping just WV.

It's a pity that in Windows 11 the Windows Defender cannot be 100% disabled. Even with Windows Defender inactive on my Windows 11, the parts that cannot be disabled consume 700% more resources than WV fully enabled and activated.

Dear mrs/miss cruelSister, I value your forum contributions, very much, but today is 19 feb 2022. I am typing this from a sub 600 euro laptop with 16GB RAM, so (to quote a classic movie from 1939), frankly my dear ...

Long ago I had to write (assembler) programs smaller than 16kb. I am on a journey (as pre-pensionado) from C to Python to Javascript, PHP and finally C++ (having finished C, now playing with Python). I started with C because it is more like the procedural languages i know (Cobol, Fortran, PL1) . I know I lack some knowledge about modern programming (still need to close a programming evolution time lap of over 30 years), I am asking you: when it is not a garbage collection/memory leak problem, why care about memory usage?

I have uninstalled WV on my main machine for now until the restart issue is fixed. I do have it on my win10 laptop and it seems to run kind of okay. There needs to be an ignore setting for large files. I seen the scan never finish because it is trying to scan a giant zip file or ISO file and it slows down the laptop heavily when scanning it.

Thanks for your feedback. We are doing our best to find out the reason for the restart issue. I think there is a potential conflict between WVSX and another APP, but we don't know what the APP chould be. After testing Brave, I will get back to you.
