I just refreshed it, still comes out with more entries than the others: https://divested.dev/MalwareScannerSignatures/
Although only sfX is also providing the domain database. Sadly neither are providing the complete 45m signature extended database.
not anymore
LoveLaceAV now ships with >10M (!) by default (which is double the amount of what HypatiaMaintain offers and +2,5M more what the Divest database offers) + the extended database with >41M
stats have been updated accordingly:
the reason for 2 forks is explained there as well (TL;DR: different default database).
Hypatia had support to flag malicious links seen on screen.
and so has LoveLaceAV ![]()
Would it be unsafe to continue using Hypatia in the way that continuing to use an unmaintained browser would be unsafe due to unpatched security issues over time?
I assume the signature databases probably won’t be updated for Hypatia anymore, so using it will get less and less reliable over time since you’ll be still using signatures from Q1 2025.
all changes in LoveLaceAV can be reviewed and these are mainly related to the database generation. You can still even use Hypatia and switch the database sources (as described at the above link) or use the HypatiaMaintainTeam fork or directly use LoveLaceAV.
