Anvi Smart Defender helps you keep your computer clear of all types of viruses and malware using both local and cloud scan engines. This technique enables Smart Defender to provide better protection through quicker and more accurate identification of harmful files and programs.
Pros
Multiple scanning options: You can choose to run a Full Scan or Quick Scan anytime you open the program. And if you're more experienced using these types of programs, you can take advantage of the Custom Scan option.
Clear data presentation: Scan results are presented in a way that makes them understandable to even the least experienced users. While scanning is underway, you can see updated totals on the number of items scanned, number of threats found, overall scanning progress, and the duration of the scan.
Cons
Long full scan: A full scan is very thorough, but it takes a long time, sometimes upwards of half an hour. That doesn't have to be a huge inconvenience, though, as long as you know to expect it and plan ahead.
Bottom Line
Anvi Smart Defender works well to keep your computer protected from all types of malicious software. There are also other features including Malware Protection and Anti-Hacker Options that show up in the interface of the free version of this app, and in the scan results, but that you can't actually use unless you upgrade to the pro version of the app. The cost of this upgrade varies depending on how many licenses you purchase and how long they are good for, but a single license for one year costs $24.98.
