X-Sec Malware Scanner

[brambedkar59]

Consider using mirror server to update?

Yesterday it failed on both but now it works on both main server as well as mirror server.

Request:

A setting that will completely end X-Sec Malware Scanner when I close it. Right now when I close X-Sec it will reside in the taskbar until I manually close it, or switch off my computer?

Hello, after code review, I also addressed a issue related with closing program, it will be fixed in the next version
Thank you for your feedback!

I also note that your cloud engine seems to have major issues with false positives.

What engines does it have?

What engines does it have?

Rising Antivirus Engine and its own heuristic engine

==============================

Well, I found two bugs in new version then did a quick fix

Optimize scan speed

How much improvement can we expect? I am asking because you put that in almost every changelog
I haven't used it for a while now just because of slow scan speed.

I haven't tested it before, but I did some optimization indeed
For example, code re-factor, and limit file type for specific scan engine(by improving file format identify module)
Maybe I can provide more options in the future, such as disable installer unpack, max file size to scan, etc

Did a little test by scanning a folder (~65 GB) full of game assets like photos, animations, scripts, executables, dlls, etc.
Kaspersky scanned the entire folder in 12 minutes, while X-sec couldn't complete the scan in 1.5 hours, I had to stop the scan at 20%.

Hello Mops21,
Due to SDK's limitation, its cloud engine didn't get benefit from multi-thread feature
If you just want a quick scan speed, just disable Rising Cloud Engine

For a future version it would be cool to see which engine detected the threats. Similar as in HitmanPro e.g.

First thought, deep bow and hat off for someone making a malware scanner

Second thought: with so much competition in the AV-industry targeting Windows, home users have you ever thought of porting your scanner to Linux?
The number of Linux desktop home users is only a fraction compared to Windows and iOS, but ... to my knowledge only ClamAV is available for home user Linux desktops, so way less competition to deal with.
