Ainvo Antivirus

Ainvo Antivirus is a simple-to-use program that scans your computer to find and remove files infected with all sorts of malware, such as viruses and Trojans.

It can be handled by all types of users looking to improve the security status of their machine, whether or not they're experienced with this type of software.

After a brief and uneventful setup procedure that does not require special input from the user, you are greeted by a wizard-like interface, where you can initialize the scanning procedure with the simple click of a button.

However, before doing so, you can go to the Options area to select one or more local drives to include in the scan process. A graphical representation of all scanned clusters and the currently scanned file is displayed in the main pane, along with any identified threats.

On scan completion, it's possible to generate an HTML report with the name, containing folder, virus name, type and result for each infected file. Unfortunately, Ainvo Antivirus doesn't come packed with additional options. For example, it doesn't implement options for scanning directories, excluding files and folders from the scanner, or for scheduling a job.

The tool was light on the system resources in our tests, using a minimal quantity of CPU and RAM. It didn't interrupt our regular PC activity, since it can get minimized to the taskbar. It carried out scan jobs rapidly and didn't hang, crash or pop up error dialogs in our tests.

On the other hand, Ainvo Antivirus contains just a handful of options for protecting computers from malware agents. Nevertheless, you can test this piece of kit for yourself, since it's free to handle by any type of user.
