Xvirus Anti-Malware 7

[Dani Santos]

Hey Dani, I totally understand!
How much does your quick scan differ than the quick scan of other AMs? Besides heuristics, can there be other factors involved like the method and framework you're using, the coverage of scan locations etc. (you might be able to gather more insights here) I wouldn't be sure about excluding System files though.

Yes, of course Xvirus being developed in .NET Framework the scan speed will be slower than other's Anti-Malware in native code (as an example if the code being slower 0,5s slower scanning each file, 1000 files later you already lost by 8:20 minutes). About the scan locations Xvirus scans the most common paths like any other memory, startup, system files,ect. So what makes it slower is the heuristics engine, the smaller whitelist of known files and the use of .NET for developing.

Not a considerable issue when the AM product does great..
I'm sure you'll be making things even better. Good day!

It's necessary to have the database always loaded and ready to scan a file. Also most pc's have at least 4gb of ram which 200mb isn't that much plus most offline antivirus and anti-malware use that too. You can check malware bytes and bitdefender free as examples.

@woodrowbone Some vendors use techniques which conceals the real full RAM usage, there is more to RAM usage in other third-party security products than 1 or 2 processes running in Task Manager using about 20MB RAM.

Xvirus Anti-Malware doesn't conceal RAM usage. No Xvirus products have ever done this, the

That explains it, I do not know why I was under the impression that this was a "cloud-app", hence my question.
Is it possible to use it as such, only scan suspicious files in the cloud?
As under: settings, system guard?

Yes Wave, I know there are tech to conceal mem usage.

Yes. You simply disable the file guard and only enable the System(behavior) guard. But the ram usage will be there because the database is always in memory. But I could make a option for it on the next update if you want

 

[woodrowbone]

Great, why not!
Maybe a predefined setting to run the app as a pure behavior blocker?
If it is possible and make sense of course.

Xvirus will never compete with a good behavior blocker. But yes I can make a signature less mode, so it detects malware based only on behavior and cloud analysis

Forgot to update the German language file. If you want, you can replace the German file from the "language" folder in Xvirus Path with this one and it should be fixed. Or simply wait that I'll fix in the next version.

Hi

The new Xivirus Anti-Malware v7.x comes with File Guard, System Guard and Network Guard? What happens to the earlier Behavior Guard, USB Guard and Web Guard?

Thanks

The Behavior Guard is now called the System Guard, because it includes more than just behavioral protection, it has simple behavioral detection, but it isn't fully behavioral based. The web guard was removed because it was hard for me to keep updating the malicious guard signatures, so it was pretty useless to zero day phishing links (you were better of with mixing Xvirus Anti-Malware with something like adguard or avira browser safety than the old web guard). The USB guard was removed because the file guard already detects malware coming from external usb drives, so I think it was using Cpu power wasted.

Good decisions to remove features that are otherwise made redundant by modern browsers & extensions. More time to focus on the core.

Dani Excuse me, you have more investigated about the slowdown of Xvirus in tests against ransomware I have done? Can I send you some logs?
