Anvi Smart Defender 1.01

Anvi Smart Defender Editor's Review

Keep your computer safe from malware with this great Windows based security package.

Keeping your PC safe while you run around the internet can be a full time job. It's very easy to click here, there and everywhere and come away with some kind of ugly bug. It's all too easy to have your personal information and even your identity stolen right out from under you. That's why I like having applications like Anvi Smart Defender available to me. It’s a malware security package for Windows.

Anvi Smart Defender delivers powerful protection against malware – viruses, Trojans, adware, spyware, bots and other threats. With its Smart-Engine, it scans and detects threats on your PC quickly. It has a system optimization function that speeds up your PC; and provides a cloud scan feature that protects your PC more effectively while working with items stored remotely.
 
Anvi Smart Defender's smart, active scanning engine is made up of Guards. Its Privacy Guard, Startup Guard, Process Guard, Behavior Guard, and Files Guard stop and block malware by actively monitoring your system and alerting you when it detects a threat. It will not interfere with active tasks and activities when it is scanning. It runs silently in the background. Whether you are surfing, shopping, charting, socializing, sharing or banking, Anvi Smart Defender's guards protect your PC from malware more efficiently than other, traditional security software.
 
If you do bump into a file that's infected with suspected malware, Anvi Smart Defender gives your PC Cloud-based malware identification. You can upload the suspicious file and get a cloud-security report.   Anvi Smart Defender discovers the newest threats first.
 
Anvi Smart Defender also helps protect your PC by providing traditional PC utilities to help keep it running efficiently. This way if something goes wrong, you know it must be malware related. Anvi Smart Defender includes System Optimize, Registry Fix, Privacy Cleaner, Memory Sweep, and Disk Defragment.


Pro’s: Free, Online malware identification, includes system utilities

Con’s: While seemingly logical, the inclusion of system utilities in a malware package seems a bit odd. The focus is security and not system optimization. The package might seem better coordinated and focused if the two suites were merely integrated and not part of a single suite.

Conclusion: Anvi Smart Defender is hard to beat for the price. The application provides system utilities to an active malware scanning engine to create a unified PC optimization approach.  While the inclusion of both types of utilities seems logical in this application, I think it would be better served for the package to be integrated rather than part of a single app suite.
