10 Portable Indonesia Local Free Antivirus
10 Portable Indonesia Local Free Antivirus
PCMAV is probably one of the most famous and actively being developed portable local Indonesia antivirus. It can even scan for unknown viruses using unique heuristic algorithms. The current version of PCMAV 1.93 Build 2 can detect and remove 2580 viruses including many variants of Brontok, Aksika, Aniee, Jambanmu, Windx-Maxtrox and etc (refer to readme.txt). PCMAV-CLN.exe is the portable scanner and it also includes a real time protection (PCMAV-RTP.exe) if you want PCMAV to protect your computer against these 2000+ viruses. Able to check for updates and you’ll have to manually download it from PCMAV’s website.
2. ANSAV
This is one of my favorite because it is actively being developed, contains a built-in updater, and useful plugins that reveals hidden files, registry fixes and etc. Latest signature detects 1108 viruses and you can enable heuristic scan from settings.
3. SmadAV
The latest SmadAV 2009 is still in beta, some of the planned new features such as built-in update and real time protection is still not available yet. It can detect 594 malwares and has 295 heuristics methods of detecting unknown virus.
ELKAV Antivirus is another free antivirus which looks very impressive that is made from Indonesia and has an English interface. It has USB, explorer and registry protection. Other than that, you can add your own sample virus to the definition if the AV definition missed it. During testing, I have problems with the built-in updater and it couldn’t download the definition file. It’s still in BETA and hopefully this will be fixed soon.
Gucup Antivirus doesn’t have a professional or should I say convincing graphical user interface. It will automatically reset explorer.exe when you run Gucup and scanning takes quite a while. Latest signature detects 715 malwares and it has unique method of analyzing which can be enabled from menubar.
6. Anti-Indovir RX-2 -> http://meysoft.co.cc/meysoft/soft/aiv/aiv32.rar
This is a simple virus scanner made in Indonesia. The interface is in English and has built-in online update. It also has a registry scanner and cache cleaner. Current database can detect 393 malwares.
Here are some others which are old and not updated for a long time but contains quite a good amount of detection. An example is NAVi. Although it is updated recently, but it contains very little detection compared to some older antivirus listed below.
