Hello,

So, I'm surprised to see a scanner being used, if I understand the concept of Rising Antivirus correctly? I tested Rising a long time ago, but it's strange to see it still exists; I thought it had been discontinued. I was able to personally test X-Sec Malware Scanner, in any case, congratulations on the concept.

I think you will be surprised by its performance. Using it for a couple months now next to NPE and ESET Online Scanner. Really love this tool. (y)
I just downloaded X-Sec and running it in win10_VM, and not obvious to me yet what is lovable about this tool. Maybe it will grow on me. @Shadowra, since both you and @Kongo like it, I am very interested to see your review in near future. I assume my current experience is atypical. Eg, I'm running Emsisoft Business (today) and it would not let me extract 7-zip to a folder in \program files -- even after I logged off sua and logged in as admin. Emsi also gave me a popup warning that X-Sec was trying to do something irregular (did not get all details). After awhile, I paused Emsi and got a X-Sec quick scan started, but it appears "frozen" at 92% completed after +28 min. When it gets to +30 min I will stop or crash X-Sec and remove it (one way or another). I assume some anomaly here. :unsure: (I'll read all posts in this thread next...)

Only issue I have is that scan is super slow. Check my post in this thread #50.
From what I remember the issue was the API limit for cloud scanner. I don't know if dev has fixed the issue.

I just tried the new version and it seems okay speed-wise. It slowed a bit near the end of the scan analyzing some dlls, but otherwise was fine.
I crashed it with task manager & deleted its \directory & files but kept the 3.2.2.2.7zip. Perhaps deeper issue with Emsi Business. :unsure: the X-Sec forum appears abandoned, or it works so well for everyone but me, no one has any questions or issues for a few years. :unsure: (fwiw a very slow quickscan +30 min makes me think it's copying all my files into its cloud for other than malware scan :unsure::unsure: ) Could be a great scanner that my computer does not like. __it happens.

You guys just have to keep in mind that it's only developed by one person afaik, it's 100% free and it's the only second opinion scanner that is using Rising Antivirus engine. Detection wise it was pretty good last time I tested it. It's by far not the most stable and snappiest scanner, but it works for me.
