New Update - Xvirus Scanning Engine is now open source
Long time no updates! I haven't had much time to develop in this project for the last years, so I decided to make the base Xvirus scanning engine open source. It does not include the entire Xvirus program code, but depending on the feedback that could happen in the future... The goal is to...

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.I'm thinking of presenting it on video

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 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.I think you will be surprised by its performance.

Only issue I have is that scan is super slow. Check my post in this thread #50.I just downloaded X-Sec and running it in win10_VM, and not obvious to me yet what is lovable about this tool.

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.
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. (fwiw a very slow quickscan +30 min makes me think it's copying all my files into its cloud for other than malware scan ) 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.
