Seriously ? Its still not ready for final,it should be rc just to make sure that everything is fine.
Test the firewall instead. i sent you a key for the pro version so you can use all the features.
it is an antimalware not an antivirus. Its supposed to run alongside a antivirus nad not alone...

Hi Dani,
Some feedback for you about Xvirus Personal Guard.
Tested on Windows 10, 32-bit (real-machine)
Good
+ Installation was easy and without issues
+ If one process killed then it started again
+ UI is interesting, I like colors and menu
+ Toolbox features
+ Automatic updates
Possible bugs
- Settings not saved (after restart all default settings)
- Managed to close Xvirus completely via Task manager (Details tab -> End process tree) Screenshot
- Disabled heuristic analysis but still got pop-up about suspicious files Screenshot
- CPU usage is quite high all the time Screenshot
Suggestions
* Even when Quarantine list is empty It still show "Threats Were Moved to Quarantine Successfully"
(Maybe you should add some filter to see if Quarantine list is already empty) Screenshot
* If you cancel/stop scan, then maybe it should reset scanned files, found threats count to zero.
Overall
Because I am also developer of another product, I wish you all the best and I want to help
you with testing and feedback to work out all bugs. In this version one heuristic entry called
Adware.InstallCore.A caused many false positives but I am sure you can fix it.
@Dani Santos Keep it up and if you have any questions then feel free to ask anytime via MT or Skype.
Regards,
Kardo

- Settings not saved (after restart all default settings)
Fixed in new version
- Managed to close Xvirus completely via Task manager (Details tab -> End process tree)
It is supposed to protect from malware not from people.
- Disabled heuristic analysis but still got pop-up about suspicious files
Fixed in new version
- CPU usage is quite high all the time
On our test it only was between 0 and 3 % of cpu.
The new version 5.1 will be released in a few moments.

About the false positives:

If the cpu is too high please disable the Xvirus cloud check. It will lower the cpu usage
I think you have a promising project in hands. If you take it seriously and with passion, then it is most definitely worth it!
Focus on usefulness and usability, even if it's not a full antivirus, then better to be a good companion, than a bad attempt at a full AV. And who knows what the future holds?
Good luck!

Hi all
XVirus Personal Guard 5.1 Test and Review
XVirus Personal Guard 5.1 Test and Review
Hi
Dani
We have already talked once by email about your product.
About this new release.
First of all: I give you my congratulations, because what you're doing is not easy. I think you are on the right track and you must not give up. However there are some things to correct. I just tested it on XP. I know that there are some bugs on XP, and It's understandable you concentrate your efforts on Windows 7 and 8 because XP is old. I also intend to test it on 7 and 8.1 and then we talk again.
However there are some issues to be corrected:
- memory used: too much. Sometimes it goes beyond more than 1GB!!
- scanner speed: very slow. A quick search exceeded 20 minutes ( and my disk has only 25 gb of files! ). What would it be to carry out a full scan?
- still incompatible with some programs;
- alerts aren't very explicit ;
- does not indicate when the research ends;
- finally, a note: the layout doesn't have a Portuguese option?! My friend, you do not speak Portuguese?!!!
