It doesn't say if it can be used in commercial environment. Probably not hehe. Does still delete notepad ?

 

so it's only good if you frequent chinese websites?

edit: umm....what happened to the post before me someone deleted it before i posted mine?

 

Yeah due to being based in China that's the type of malware it gets better detection scores in. I have however seen it's cloud protection do a nice job at detecting new Zbot samples and other bots. Not many tests with it out

 

it's only 17.5 mb in size, compare to others >50 mb, umm....anyone tested it yet?

 

It has Cloud Protection, it comes with a security task manger that can replace Windows Task Manager. From what I have read it's rather light. Detection rates are OK they may not be the #1 in detection but they are ok. Heuristics engine seems rather picky because while in beta is detected Notepad but it was quickly fixed.

 

I have tried the beta 2-3 times, and it did not do well any of them. Can't image it has improved much in the last couple weeks, and they have historically had very poor detection rates.
