  IMPORTANT NOTICE

Anvi Smart Defender is a simple-to-use antivirus application that uses a regular engine and cloud support to remove malware files and ensure data protection. It also features a real-time guard designed to prevent future infections.

The installation procedure is a fast and easy task, since the app does not let users opt out of components. As for the interface, Anvi Smart Defender is attractive and intuitive, thanks to large and flat buttons. An initial scan is recommended by the tool to establish the PC's current security status.

Anvi Smart Defender sports familiar scan methods that can perform a quick search by looking into important Windows areas only (system services, memory, browser extensions, startup items, other critical locations), run a complete search by adding the full disk to the previously mentioned areas, or verify only user-defined locations via custom scans.

On scan completion it can be set to automatically remove infected or suspicious files, remove them and immediately power off the PC afterward, or to stand by for user action (delete, trust, do nothing).

The real-time guard takes care of files, the Windows registry, startup items, along with browsers, Internet-related privacy issues and downloads. Each of these components can be deactivated with one click and re-enabled at a later time.

Meanwhile, the anti-hacker module monitors various vulnerable areas prone to unauthorized access, such as weak passwords, remote connection and assistance, together with the Windows Firewall. These sections may be excluded from the current and future scans.

Items sent to the quarantine can be examined when it comes to file locations and times of submission before deciding to either remove or restore them. Objects excluded from scans may be removed from the whitelist, while new ones can be added.

Users may download another tool (for free) designed to repair various browser issues triggered by malware when it comes to Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

We have noticed that Anvi runs on a pretty high amount of RAM, even when it's in idle state. It carries out scan jobs in reasonable time but takes a while to delete infected files. Our latest tests has shown that the tool delivers very good results concerning virus detection ratio. However, its real-time guard failed to detect anything, and the scans found many false positives. On top of that, its interface shows misleading options, since most of them can be unlocked only by upgrading to Anvi Smart Defender Pro.

To sum it up, Anvi Smart Defender is attractive, simple-to-use and capable of removing many types of malware, but we have seen better performance results in other av solutions when it comes to the overall package, even for a free security program.

What's new in Anvi Smart Defender 2.5:

  • Fixed the program network drive problem that appears in Windows 10.
  • Fixed the program scheduled task failure in Windows 10.
  • Optimized the scanning speed.
  • Fixed the problem that when users cancel the first scan, the main page display “the computer is safe”.
