Yes i would recommend trying to partner up with another av company to get better siginatures

 

[FireShootSK]

Great test again. Xvirus is great choice as second AV or on-demand scanner.

Have you fixed the false detection of system files yet?

Have you fixed the false detection of system files yet?

Yes. After every update it checks if the database is corrupt or not

Sweet.

I'll go ahead and try it out right now, but what are your methods of detection? Do you use VirusTotal? Do you have a in-house engine?

No, it will be fixed in the future. At the moment only the heurdb is verified.

in-house engine.

Don't use virussign samples please. They're very old.

"I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND XVIRUS TO ANYONE IT IS A VERY BAD PROGRAM" - Make your own security program and see how easy it is.

From the malware hub for example.

Is it possible to exclude folder(s) that contain system files inside?

Nope, nothing can be older than virussign samples.
Virussign samples are few year old.

What if malware is dropped here? BTW, it won't clean system files automatically. Don't worry.

Ah...

I'm smart enough to detect false positives, but some people might actually believe that everything detected is unsafe.

It doesn't happen to everyone... It just happens when the DB is somehow corrupt during download and Xvirus starts detecting everything.

So you're one of the developers, correct?

I do seem to like it so far.

What if they had the setting 'Quarantine threats automatically' enabled under Scanner Settings?

Anyway, I haven't experienced the FP issue with system files for awhile now, which is great.

I'm not sure. But it's not selected by default.

Not exactly, but I was working at Xvirus code recently.

What if they had the setting 'Quarantine threats automatically' enabled under Scanner Settings? Then if it detected a FP it would auto-quarantine. Although, I do not know if anyone actually uses that setting, I only enabled it just now for a test.

It only quarantine automatically if it is detected by the signatures. So that will not be a problem because the bug of deteting everything is caused by the heuristics
