Ansav is a free antivirus utility designed to identify, thwart and eliminate computer viruses and other malicious software (malware).
ANSAV, abbreviation from An's AntiVirus, ANSAV is an application that run on Windows XP, was made especially to handle various mallware like virus, Trojan and Spyware.
ANSAV was not the same as commercial Antivirus, ANSAV only designed as portable software and could be undertaken without needing the installation, because ANSAV not resident and only treated.
At this time ANSAV could have detected various newest local virus (Indonesia Viruses) and several foreign viruses that often circulated in Indonesia, but ANSAV could not be relied on as personal Antivirus because quite few viruses that could be detected by other Antivirus and was not detected by ANSAV, this was caused of the limitations Antivirus database (the virus definition
signature).
ANSAV was developed in the Indonesian scope (local support only) although could have detected several foreign viruses, therefore your role to always send the sample of the newest virus that still could not be detected by ANSAV was really needed, so that ANSAV always became your mainstay weapon to eradicate the virus especially the local virus.
ANSAV made with 32 bit Assembly, so the file had small size, but had the high speed, in test that was carried out by me used PC computer processor AMD Athlon XP 1.5Ghz, chip ECS, 512 MB RAM, HD Seagate 7200 RPM, Windows XP SP1, produced the speed checking 237 file/second!, but this speed also depended on the media that was checked, the example of the speed checking to HD will be different to checking in CD-CROM or Removable media (Example : Flashdisk ).
Ansav contains the definitions of 345 viruses.
