XVirus 4.2 Review and comparison with Malwarebytes

[Terry Ganzi]

 

[Malware1]

Many samples from XVirus' database (that's just a text file with MD5) are available at http://virusshare.com/
It seems he removes old checksums, I see only the newest hashes from VirusShare in viruslist.db. I assume he's going to VirusShare from time to time and grabbing latest files.
I think that the samples that were tested are in VirusShare (or another know malware database), that's why all were detected.
I scanned some fresh samples using it (I submit samples to VS, but these weren't processed yet) - nothing was detected.
Malwarebytes doesn't target files older than 3 months. So if some files were old, then that explains the result.

Hello there. Yes that happens everytime i release a new version. Some heuristics detect it as virus and i have to submit to all them. Even malwarebytes detected Xvirus as virus one time

Malc0de and vxvault are pretty useful I guess.
