I don't run a real-time AV. However, I like to do on-demand (OD) scans at least daily, at night, while I sleep. I presently use Hitman, Herdprotect, & Zemana Antimalware but I still prowl the web for new OD AVs to play with. I found a new OD AV scanner -- "norascan" -- at noralabs dot com, which is home-ported in Belgium. Norascan's GUI is on the short list for "world's ugliest GUI" -- it's very easy to work with, but it's NOT a pretty sight. When not in use, norascan uses zero cpu & zilch ram. I'm keeping it, & shall use it now & then, because ... uh ... I want to. If someone tests norascan out on some nasties (I don't own any nasties myself) I would appreciate to hear what they conclude.

Okay, I don't have "nasties" but, I'll test/run in shadow. Edit: their Contact Us form > Hover over the left image and enter the security code into the right text field. = no code Missing required information:Wrong security code or expiration of the validity! Maybe I need to be logged in...?
1) Goto http://centralops.net/co/DomainDossier.aspx 2) Enter noralabs.com in the box 3) Enter checkmark in block "domain Whois record" 4) Hit go 5) Read NOTE: country code "BE" = Belgium (@ Oxymoronman) -- I have no idea what engine they use. My guess: one of their own devisement?
I met him more than 5 years ago and it was the same "rough" as today...actually I thought that Norascan had been abandoned ca 3 yars ago but it looks it's still alive From their page http://www.noralabs.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23&Itemid=27 And some info about scanner https://www.windows10download.com/noralabs-norascan/ The old thread on Wilders https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/any-thoughts-about-norascan-from-noralabs.349239/
It certainly appears to be a Belgium based company. The website's owner's address is in Belgium. The website is hosted in the Netherlands. Some companies from outside the US, say they are American, when they aren't.
