Smadav's Main Functions :

1) Smadav-AI to improve protection of Internet, PC, and USB

Smadav is currently equipped with an AI feature (Smadav-AI model v1.0) to improve virus detection capabilities, because Smadav-AI has the ability to predict many of the latest viruses without the need for the latest database/signature updates. Although there are sometimes false alarms by Smadav-AI, the number of these false detection is still quite small. The benefits obtained from Smadav-AI are : improved protection of Internet, PC, and USB with Smadav-AI's good detection capabilities in detecting the latest viruses even without the need for frequent updates Smadav-AI itself.

2) Lightweight Additional Antivirus for Computers/Laptops.

Many antivirus programs cannot be installed alongside other antivirus programs because they are designed to provide primary protection for your computer. Unlike Smadav, which is designed as additional protection, it is likely compatible and will run well even with other antivirus programs (such as Windows Security/Defender) installed. In this case, Smadav acts as a second layer of defense. Smadav uses various techniques (AI, signatures, heuristics, and others) to detect and remove viruses, further enhancing your computer's security. Because Smadav is very lightweight when running on your computer, it doesn't significantly increase your computer's performance. Therefore, combining Smadav with the antivirus program already installed on your computer will further strengthen your computer's defenses against virus infections.

3) Additional Protection for the Internet

Smadav has several techniques (AI, Signature, Heuristics, and others) to prevent viruses from spreading via the internet, especially when you download applications (executables) from the internet and run it.

4) Additional Protection for USB Flashdisk

Smadav has several techniques (Anti-Exe, AI, Signature, Heuristic, and others) to prevent viruses from spreading via USB flash drives. Not only does it prevent viruses, but it will also attempt to remove them and restore files hidden by the virus on the USB flash drive.

5) Lightweight Antivirus (very small size and memory)

Smadav has the advantage of being very small in size (under 10 MB). It also requires very little CPU resources. Most of the time, when Smadav is active, it only requires a small amount of memory (usually under 20 MB) and uses very little CPU. With such minimal usage, Smadav won't significantly impact or slow down your works, allowing it to remain active alongside other antivirus program already running on your computer (such as Windows Security/Defender).

6) Tools to help clean viruses

Smadav can help clean your computer of viruses, either automatically or manually using the tools provided by Smadav. Smadav can also help repair registries that have been damaged or altered by viruses. Many tools included in Smadav Pro to help clean viruses. The tools are :
