Xyvos is a good antivirus.
AngStelJanuary 5, 2013
Pros
Xyvos is a good antivirus for those who understand how it works . I'm amused to see some tests that show how the system is collapsed trying all sorts of malware, that any antivirus would fail .
Cons
It should however better communication from Xyvos and maybe an update considering that the last one was in 2010 .
Summary
A combination with WinPatrol can be a good solution for old computers.
A clever bit of software that works perfectly!

Pros
My computer starts & runs so much faster now and this A/V software has caught a few nasties trying to intrude and killed them dead! My computer is totally safe now.
Cons
A scan facility would be nice, but that's not what this is designed for.
Summary
It's had a couple of negative reviews from people who haven't really understood what this A/V is about. It requires the minimum of user input, it never needs updating, but now and then it will ask you whether you want to allow or block a change happening in your system or an application operating. If you aren't sure you just block it temporarily and Google the item to identify it, if it's safe, allow it next time, otherwise block it permanently, but this only occasional. You don't actually need a scan facility, just download the file, but don't install it, then once you are off the net, do a full scan with your old A/V before uninstalling it, then install Xyvos. You will need a separate anti-spyware application, Spyware Expert is good and free. Xyvos is only a tiny file and uses hardly any computer resources, as a result my computer starts up much faster and runs more quickly. Brilliant!
DOESN'T PROTECT AGAINST SPYWARE!!!

Ed_TricklebankDecember 22, 2010
Pros
Powerful and silent. We don't need to worry about updates to catch new viruses. It has automatically detected viruses in my machine.
Cons
Need below options 1. Scan full system 2. Remove virus option
Summary
Worth downloading...

Pros
I had a popular antivirus and it used to eat my memory and lot of I/O operations... I was looking for a behavioral-based antivirus.... Xyvos is thin and it detected couple of system level changes...
Cons
Not able to scan thumb drive... help is also not available...
Summary
Worth downloading.... I used some other behavioral based av.. not detected any changes in my system....
basic but fast
vict_cfkDecember 20, 2010

Cons

Summary
It gives basic protection ,It is not resource hungry,It uses only some 6 MB of memory
Not ready for prime time

Pros
I didn't like this product
Cons
Interface was amateurish, I had no idea what it was actually doing.
Summary
After install, it appeared as an icon in the taskbar, but didn't ask for any configuration. Clicking the icon brought me to the interface, but there wasn't even an option to do a manual scan. There was no sort of update that I could see, and in the few minutes that I had it running, it didn't seem to do anything. According to my firewall, it never asked for network access, either. It's the kind of program that, once you uninstall it, the first thing you do is run a full virus scan.
