4 SmadAV main function:
- Additional protection for your computer, compatible with other antivirus!
Most antivirus software can not be installed with other antivirus, it is because the antivirus is designed for primary protection on your computer. Unlike SmadAV, SmadAV is a type of antivirus that is designed as an additional protection, so compatible and can run well even though there are other antivirus on your computer, in this case SmadAV serves as a second layer of defense. SmadAV has its own way (behavior, heuristic, and whitelisting) in detecting and cleaning the virus so that it will further improve the security on the computer. Due to the very small use of SmadAV resources, SmadAV will not increase the weight of your computer's performance in its use. So, with a combination of protection between SmadAV and antivirus that has been installed on your computer will further strengthen your computer's defense of virus infection. - One of the Best USB Antivirus (USB Flashdisk Protection)
USB Flashdisk is one of the largest media spread of the virus. SmadAV has a special technology for the prevention of viruses that spread through a USB stick. SmadAV has quite a lot of signature viruses that infect the flash, and have the special ability to detect new viruses in the flash even though not in SmadAV database. Not only prevention, SmadAV is also able to clean up viruses that infect and restore files that are hidden viruses on USB Flashdisk
SmadAV is very well used for computers that are rarely or even not connected to the internet. SmadAV does not need to update as often as other antivirus. SmadAV is less dependent on the virus signature / database, but is more dependent on behavior detection, heuristic, and whitelisting techniques. - An extremely lightweight antivirus
SmadAV uses only very small computer resources. Most of the usage when SmadAV is active requires only memory (under 5 MB) and very small CPU usage (below 1%). With very little use like this, SmadAV will not affect or slow down your other work. And you also can still install other antivirus that can be coupled with SmadAV to protect your computer.
