A pure heuristic antivirus software--- ByteHero

I installed it and ran it too.
I think it's just a junky scanner. Unless Prevxhelp finds otherwise, it looks like a false positive.

 

I posted it on MBAM's forum and this what I got

 

Translation: It's not malicious but boy is it junk.

Just kidding.

I wonder why they have opted to use Themida of all things. The Anubis scan looked pretty benign, in fact it doesn't look like it does much to the system at all.

 

Infected with Themida

A lot of malware use products such as from Oreans but not all programs that use a protection system are malware. Saying that, why is ByteHero using it.

 

i am sorry to that.i didn't anticipate that this software will be regard as a virus for serveral antivirus.but defenitely it is a no harmful antivirus software.though the detection is mediocre.but it is all pursued by heuristic.i stand by a security forum in china .there is a testing about this software.the detection was keeping 40-50%..Franking speaking it is not very bad for an antivirus which only rely on heuristic

 

Sorry but I dont think I will be installing this. Here is what NIS2010 File Insight says.

Love this NIS2010 feature.

 

IMO, all this fuzz about software only using heuristics (or even the "cloud") means nothing - at the end of the day, I think a good antimalware software is one which detects/blocks many malware in the wild (hopefully quickly), with little scope for FP or interfering with clean software, regardless of the technology it uses.

Looks like a good feature - whats the "origin"? - is it the file/website it came from or only the country the file came from (which is pretty useless)?
