AVZ 4.30

I'm liking what I've seen of this application, as a beginner/intermediate user. Think I'm going to learn a bit, here.

 

A reg search/backup function, standalone along with many other features.Yep, a keeper here and thanks for the heads up Easter.

 

Glad to help.

It's one of the few apps of it's kind that practically profiles the entire system as well as identifies and captures potential malicious files/reg entries as well as a whole other many useful information. All in a single package plus updates.

 

It doesn't use the signatures of Ad-aware or Trojan Hunter. What the translation says is that it's in the same area of functionality as these two, namely removal of spyware and trojans.

I just started to test this program; looks like a fine program so far!

Are there any other free programs similar to this one?

 

AVZ is actually now built into KAV/KIS 2009, and it is the standard tool we use on the forum for finding and extracting new/nasty infections.

It works well in capable hands but has the potential to hose a system if used without care.


AVZ signatures are proprietary, updated by Oleg Zaitsev, the creator of the utility and Kaspersky security expert (he works at the viruslab I think).


Logfiles can be generated in different formats and used to create "scripts" to be executed to quarantine or remove suspicious files and perform cleanup.

Typical structure for scripts would be as so:

begin
SetAVZGuardStatus(True);
SearchRootkit(true, true);
DeleteFile('');
QuarantineFile('','');
BC_ImportDeletedList;
ExecuteSysClean;
BC_Activate;
RebootWindows(true);
end.


Those are just a few of the commands available, you can also delete registry entries, folders, reset system settings, delete BHO entries etc. Very useful for helping novice users to clean up their machines. Expert creates the script, user pastes it into window and presses "run"

 

I have found a lengthly .htm file containing an English translation of the Russian help file. The translation was done in 2007, and some information in it is thus outdated.

 

Heuristic detection of keyloggers by neural networks! Fantastic .

 

Here is a nice English summary of the program's capabilities.

 

Appreciate sharing the link with us:

Indeed, this is a very useful full featured tool that's one-of-a-kind.

I cleaned a neighbors very bugged PC with it a few months ago and scraped out every malware that was long lodged in it.

The PC ran better then ever i was told after i added a deep positioning Defrag to top matters off for them after that.
