X-Sec Antivirus 2.2.0.0

X-Sec Antivirus is a lightweight and very accessible piece of software designed to make it as simple as possible for you to detect and remove malware from your computer.

Does not require installation
Just as long as Visual C++ 2017 Runtime and NET. Framework 4.7.1 are present present on your computer's system, you should be able to launch X-Sec Antivirus without major issues. Since the application does not require installation, you simply need to download it, unzip its package and launch it via the designated executable file.

The utility is wrapped around a simple and intuitive, tabbed user interface. There are five main and self-explanatory categories, namely Overview, Scan, Protection, Toolbox, and Settings.

Intuitive and user-friendly malware removal application
Regardless of you being a novice or a more advanced user, you are bound to find that working with X-Sec Antivirus is not at all difficult. The first tab, Overview, is the place where you can view the current protection status and the latest database version. Things get a bit more interesting when you make your way to the second tab. Within the Scan tab, the utility provides you with three self-explanatory scan possibilities: Quick Scan, Full Scan, and Custom Scan.

From here, we will jump right at the last main tab dubbed Toolbox where you are presented with a comprehensive activity log, as well as with the possibility of viewing the quarantined elements and that of creating a trust list (whitelist).

Customize your experience with the app from the Settings section
The Settings tab is by far the bulkiest section, as it provides you with a wide array of options for tweaking the app's general behavior. Apart from the basic available localization options, you're also present with the possibility of enabling or disabling the logs, the heuristic, and the cloud engine, as well as the backup of files to quarantine before removal.

You can also set the default action for when a thread is found (Scan only, Ask user, or Remove automatically) and the scan priority at six levels: very low, low, normal, high, and very high. Additionally, you are also able to enable or disable the logs for the File Monitor, Process Monitor, Registry Monitor, and for the Behavior Monitor.

Decently equipped malware remover that might appeal to users looking for a simple and portable AV solution
All in all, X-Sec Antivirus is a simple tool that can help you locate and remove malware from your computer. The app's biggest drawback is probably the that it does not come with real-time protection, a feature that, must be said, is a must-have for tools of this sort.
