I will personally test this software. I don't expect new software to do well im more interested in it's future.

Hello,
I have installed this antivirus on my virtual machine. Here is how xCore Antivirus looks:

Some quick notes:
- It does not seem to have a comprehensive white list, so you will see a large amount of pop-ups even from known legit programs.
- I have installed the English version, and even so, in the UI and its pop-ups I can see Russian text

- I have tested this antivirus with a malware pack (http://malwaretips.com/threads/2014-03-23-100.24413/), and from 100 samples, xcore Antivirus has detected 10 samples as malware. Its main layer of protection, it seems to be the HIPS engine.

- After installing this antivirus, it required a restart. I restarted my VM, and it has booted into a BSOD. While it happened only once, it's not something you want to see.

I also tested it installing on a real machine. No BSODs Not a fake AV.
