ShiguadAv Antivirus

ShiguadAv Antivirus is a security tool created to help you detect and remove various malicious components that reside on your computer and can compromise both its integrity and your personal data.

The application is easy to install and is ready for use immediately after. It requires no special configuration or such. Displaying a comprehensive interface, it provides quick access to all its main functions right from the main window. From there you get to perform a scan, use other system tools and manage quarantined files.

ShiguadAv Antivirus allows you to perform both quick and full scans. Using the quick scan, the application targets system processes and services, the registry and startup files. The full scan on the other hand verifies the previously mentioned files along with drives and special paths. In any of scan types, you can select or deselect any of the folders that are available. This allows you to easily create a custom scan.

The time it takes to perform a scan depends on the size of your hard drive and its structure. While it’s underway, ShiguadAv Antivirus displays a progress bar along with information about the number of viruses and registry errors found along with the total objects checked. After the search is finished, all detected files are sorted in ‘malware’, ‘registry’ and ‘hidden’ categories. From here, you can select the files you want to fix.

There is though one thing you need to be careful with. While the button says ‘Fix Checked’, when you click it, the file is removed from your system. So be sure to double check if the file is not in any way essential to the system.

ShiguadAv Antivirus also provides a service manager which you can use to stop certain applications. Moreover you get quick access to the Command Prompt, Task Manager, Registry Editor.

In closing, ShiguadAv Antivirus is a good tool to have around when you want to perform a quick scan and search for harmful files, but it does need a bigger virus database and some tweaking here and there.
