WiseVector Stop-X

Windows 11 still supports 32 bit software even though its the first version of Windows to support only x64 architecture.

 

The rule usually is two AVs and two FWs should never be run together. There are exceptions and this looks to be one of them.

 

Its never lifetime in the software world. A big company will in all likelihood scoop up WV and incorporate its technology into its products. We've seen it happen before.

 

Its like with Tiny Wall. This is a stand alone FW. You shouldn't encounter issues.

 

i tried it... its stable but unfortunately it consumes 99% of the CPU. On install it froze my system and I had to do a hard reset on Windows 11.

The CPU hog needs to be fixed.

 

Which version did you test?

 

The most recent version 3.0.1. It has potential but then the next minute upon installation, I literally ran out of memory. And had to hard reset my PC.

 

Thanks.

Sound like the beta is still not ready to be considered stable

 

You must be the only one no trouble here

 

Nope... running like a champ here on w10 21H1 64 bit and Im sure there are a lot of others as this thread hasnt been overly active lately. My impression is there are quite a few users... just look at how many previous posts.

 

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvience.
Can you please tell me what other APP was running when WiseVector StopX was installed?
We would like to reproduce the issue you encountered and get it resolved if it was caused by WVSX.
Thanks.

 

I was running it alongside Kaspersky Free Anti Virus and No Virus Thanks OS Armor. 99% CPU at startup.

In comparison, Huorong Internet Security tolls along nice and stable at 10-12% CPU at startup, which is quite reasonable.

WVSX is putting a heavy load on Windows 11. I don't have that drain with my other security software.

 

Thanks for your reply.
Were you doing anything other than running these security software together with WVSX at startup?

 

Well idk Voodooshield is still running. That said VS is a lot bigger than WV right now, though dan has been making it for years now and unlike WV it is much different than all other AVs, plus he's real good at spewing stuff to make VS looks like the greatest even if it isn't necessarily

 

No. The RAM doesn't matter as long as the CPU load is low. Perhaps the next build be less hungry in that regard.

 

Sure. There are a few small developers out there and its not easy to develop, test and maintain a quality product. That takes dedication, time, money and hard work. There's no incentive in making a free product unless you can earn revenue to subsidize it from the corporate market.

 

Yeah but u always start out for free. That's what dan did. As far as I know u don't get free pro/paid licenses anymore for VS. U get newest version but it still has Free license not Pro/Paid. Although i haven't checked it out in a while but at least last time i saw it that's how it worked. He got a **** ton of advertisment from this "locks ur pc" "better than avs" kind of stuff. Even if WV is just as good it doesn't have this thing that VS does that is its own. Other than simplicity and efficiency i guess. But who cares for that anyway when all the AV tests have 99.9% and 100% protection scores cuz they don't know how to test properly so all the products have perfect or near perfect score anyway, WV just gonna be another logo slapped on there.

 

Hi,

You may want to check the folowing: Detection Rate: 87.15%

That's right up there next to Kaspersky! I'm impressed. Few Chinese cybersecuirity vendors are capable of this kind of detection and WVSX looks to be one of them.

Anyone who can do that has my respect. Its a bar for the rest of the Chinese software industry to exceed.

 

Kaspersky would destroy the malware if configured properly. No offense WVSX doesn't seem too bad but kaspersky is in a league of its own. Like one of its modules by itself stops almost anything by not allowing anything explicitly trusted to run, giving it little or no privileges at all. I don't remember the module but it works akin to Comodo Firewall

 

They have some work to do. The rest of the Chinese cybersecurity vendors aren't even there with terrible detection rates. Anyone who wants to be world class has to come near Kaspersky. There are only a few cybersecurity vendors on that level.

 

Reading these opinions and user's positive hard results of WVSX some may also be easily reminded of another red china security program that was all but second to none. In fact NO AV was required for power user's when using EqSysSecure HIPS back on 32bit XP. Nothing whatsoever could make it past that excellently designed program which was very highly user configurable and is when I swore off AV's of any sort because of it. And unlike AV's at the time, EQSecure solidly locked down channels/paths/files of windows and gave the user protection unmatched for the day in which HIPS came on the scene.

It was a revolution. One that even ALL commercial AV's eventually picked up on also seeing the success. Another Chinese program that left a good mark on the industry as a whole.

 

A pity Malware Defender and EQSecure are long abandoned considering their effectiveness.

 

Indeed! They were exceptional protection programs that were at the time Game Changers!
The transition to 64bit sunk the HIPS movement of those apps. Later on the AV's implemented similar hi-tech integration of HIPS of sorts rendering those programs obsolete.

Even WVSX is game changing for some in many ways

 

Yup. The 3.0 beta now has HIPS and an IP firewall.

WVSX is game-changing, indeed.
