From their site. "NANO AntiVirus is a beta version of software for free testing." So unless you're testing software I'd give it a pass.
Nano has been in beta for several years with slow updates. Protection was really lackluster when I tried it, I wouldn't bother with it.
There's a thread here but I don't know why it's closed: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/nano-antivirus.262758/

@fblais That will be becuase its very long time since there was an activity in the thread. I've used Nano at some point and didn't think much of it.

Anyone tried Nano Antivirus recently. http://i.imgur.com/SipSfsc.png It seem to have come out of beta & now have a Free & a Pro version. http://www.nano-av.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23391&Itemid=74&lang=en The Free version is also available as NANO Antivirus Sky Scan in Windows Store. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/nano-antivirus-sky-scan/9wzdncrdcc0b Last time I tested it was in beta, severe on RAM with many false alarms.
Windows XP SP3 (32-bit and 64-bit This is cool ! ! Russian Company and they put out great AV stuff I have downloaded and will install the free version and give it a go..thank you they also have a forum..now just to get to do 'english'..lol http://www.nano-av.com/forum/
Didn't notice this... WinXP support is indeed very much welcome. This is in fact my reason for following this antivirus. They were in beta for 6-7 years. Lets hope that they iron out most of the bugs. I can only see them being tested by Virus Bulletin. Their performances from 2016 onwards (out of beta) is encouraging. https://www.virusbulletin.com/testing/results/recent/vb100-antimalware/nano-av Please let us know your findings. I do not have any PC/VM ready to test it out. They have English Section too. http://www.nano-av.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12&sid=c7d86ffa39770202fe193d918ec691c4
