Here is the link to a post from WiseVector in the thread "WiseVector Free AI Driven Security" on MalwareTips: https://malwaretips.com/threads/wisevector-free-ai-driven-security.87965/post-1024875 I think that's it for WiseVector StopX. Anyway! A bit hope is still there, and we all know hope dies last. 3 hours ago, genieautravail said: On 2/4/2023 at 4:36 AM, Vistapocalypse said: Does WiseVector StopX require SSE2?

It has been abandoned by the developers. Their interests now seem to be focused on an enterprise version to make money.

AstroSkipper Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Since I don't know whether the guys (and girls?) from WiseVector have finally given up on their WiseVector StopX program or not, I have first completely deactivated it in my system, i.e. deactivated autostart of the program and its system service. Perhaps, they will reconsider their decision. After a deep research, I decided to give Panda Dome 22.00.00 a chance. This version is the most recent and fully compatible with Windows XP. Here are two screenshots of Panda Dome: So far, I am quite enthusiastic. The system load of Panda Dome is very low (lower than it was with WiseVector StopX), and the detection rate is supposed to be very good according to my research. I will keep you updated.

Truth be told, I am not a fan of Norton (Symantec) security solutions anymore. Just too restrictive, deletes things without permission, heavy load on the system, more of a disempowerment of the user. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroSkipper Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) While researching for an antivirus program which still works under Windows XP, I came across an interesting offline virus scanner that is still fully XP-compatible. The program is called MWAV - eScan Antivirus Toolkit. It is free for private and home use. MWAV provides the ability to scan for any virus, spyware, adware or other dangerous software on your computer. MWAV requires no installation and can be run directly from your computer, on whatever media. It can also run when other antivirus software is installed on your computer. The database is continuously updated to detect new spyware and adware, and the scanning engine is constantly improved for faster and smarter detection. Their homepage is in German. Use a translator if German is not your native language. Here is the link: https://www.escanav.de/german/content/products/MWAV/escan_mwav.asp Edited March 1 by AstroSkipper 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroSkipper Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Here are two screenshots of MWAV - eScan Antivirus Toolkit, one of the program's main window, the other of the updater, both taken from my installation: The installer file is about 300 MB in size. To install MWAV on the computer, I recommend extracting the installer manually to the target directory and calling the executable file mexe.com or MWAVL.exe there. Reason: If the installer is called directly, all files are extracted to the system's temporary folder. For me, this is not an option. The program is compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7/8 and 2008, comes from Germany and is currently available in version 22.0.52 (DB). Don't worry, the program's interface is in English if this is your system language! Getting a second opinion in case of doubt or checking the system quickly, offline, is a good idea in any case. I have therefore integrated it into my system. Kind regards, AstroSkipper Edited March 2 by AstroSkipper Update of content 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, the most recent version also works under Win 8.1+, and they simply forgot to update their homepage. I can only say that this tool works as advertised and does its job. Not so easy to find XP/Vista-compatible antivirus tools nowadays. Edited March 1 by AstroSkipper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mina7601 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Or, maybe, they didn't (or don't at all) test it on these OSes yet. That's my guess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their homepage, an weekly offline updater can be downloaded. To update offline an offline AV scanner is a bit funny, but in any case simply great.

For Windows 8, there is of course a larger selection of compatible AV programs. Unfortunately, the situation is totally different for Windows XP (and Vista). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
