MalAware 1.0 Beta

[A Guy]

Extremely small and ultra fast malware scanner

The basic idea behind MalAware was to create build the smallest possible (1 mb) and the fastest possible malware scanner (scan <1 min) that will only provide an indication of whether a PC is infected with malware or not.

However, it should still get the full Emsi Software technology with more than 3 million known nasties. Not an easy task - but our developers have found ways and means to meet these seemingly impossible combinable requirements. By combining a strongly limited version of the signature database of known malware paths with a cloud based scan of all active processes, MalAware achieves a similar accuracy as a-squared Anti-Malware.

wow a nice one but again i am afraid of the number of false positive

ok guys i had used this but i dont think anyone would like this it is so small that it is hardly efficient to detect any threat and after a scan(which hardly took seconds) it offers to buy their full product.bogus

Size doesn´t matter, see PREVX.

A nice initiative. I have A2 full on m y computer so I do not need it but we welcome anything that scans fast. There is enough antimalbloatware on the market as it is.

I have just downloaded and scanned my PC using this. No infections found...that's good to see but the fact is I do have a few 'infected' zipped files on my PC.

I like the fact that it's scan was fast but it urges you to purchase a-squared antimalware to remove infections if there's any...and opens up a2 website each time you exit the app...I don't quite like that.

A scanner that detects, no removal, pops-up the website (although harmless), and urges you to pay looks more an advertising tool for the company rather than a true savior. I'm not saying it's roguware (we all know it isn't) but for a noob who doesn't know a-squared company well, they might mistake and think of this as rogueware...just my opinion.

Hope this clears up everything.

Not a particularly useful tool, but more for a quick scan to see if infected or not. I have had full version of A Squared (for free , of course) for a few years, and the free version before that. So this was of zero use for me, I didn't even bother. But is a new tool released from an established company, so I posted it here. Not everything is a suggestion, more for informations sake, lol.
