If anyone wants to see a look at the GUI here it is.

@xywcloud I just tried it on two machines, and it is exceptionally slow at scanning. Will future versions have faster scanning speeds.

I see that heuristics are disabled by default. Is this to minimise false positives?

Hi, I am not xywcloud, but to help with a reply I believe it is to improve false positives and improve scanning speed, heuristics slow down scanning speed a lot. The good thing is though this program has a caching feature that will cache files to a file on your computer then if you scan another time it should not have to scan as many files so should speed up the scan time a lot next time.

Scan speeds are slow for me, even with heuristics disabled.

Yes, they are pretty slow for me too, but I believe if Heuristics were enabled it would be even slower.

Hello,
Now X-Sec Malware Scanner has 5 engines(3 local engines + 2 cloud engines), also I set some limitations on using Rising Cloud Engine while enhanced ability of Rising Antivirus Engine, so scan speed may slower(or even much slower) than old version
I'll try to optimize scan speed in the next version

Now X-Sec Malware Scanner has 5 engines(3 local engines + 2 cloud engines)

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

Thank you for your feedback!
Could you plz provide related files?(if only Cloud Engine, provide file hashes maybe enough)

It's many files. I was scanning a folder containing a lot of installers.

If too many files, you can just provide file hashes and scan log, I'll try to find original files

Due to the amount of false positives - mostly detected as Cloud:Malware.Generic, in my opinion, excluding some wrongly detected files (which I presume is what you want to do) won't be of much help. I think the scan engine needs improvement to reduce the amount of false positives.

Got it, thank you for your feedback and I'll try to fix it
