About Smadav Antivirus

In my previous post, I told you guys that I will be talking about Antivirus that will keep your system safe from Malware and other forms of  computer viruses. 

Today we will be looking at Smadav Antivirus, I call it the "Little Wonder" because the software isn't large (about 2.7MB or less) and it does a good work in cleaning your computer. I have been using it for years and I can tell that it is a good product.

Lets talk about the functions of Smadav gotten from their official site:

1) Additional Protection for your PC, compatible with other antivirus products!

Almost all other antivirus cannot be installed with another antivirus, it's because the antivirus designed for main protection in your PC. It's not the case for Smadav, Smadav is an antivirus that is designed as additional (second layer) protection, so it's compatible and could be installed and run together with another antivirus in your PC. Smadav using their own technique (behavior, heuristic, and whitelisting) to detect and clean virus that improves security in your PC.

2) Best USB Antivirus (Total Protection for USB Flashdisk)

USB Flashdisk is one of the most used media for virus spread. Smadav use its own technology to avoid virus spread and infection from USB Flashdisk. Smadav can detect many new unknown virus in USB even if the virus is not in the database. Not only for protection, Smadav can also clean USB Flashdisk from virus and restore hidden/infected file in the USB Flashdisk.

3) Low resource Antivirus

Smadav only using small fraction of your PC resources. Smadav most of the time only use very small memory (under 5 MB) and CPU usage (under 1%). With this very small resource usage, Smadav will not slow your computer. And you can still install another antivirus that will together work with Smadav to protect your PC.

4) Cleaner and tools to clean virus

Smadav can clean some virus that already infected your PC and also fix the registry change made by the virus. Many tools included in Smadav to fight for virus cleaning.
