MaleoAV Description

MaleoAV is a lightweight antivirus application that comes packed with several extra tools, such as a process manager. Before proceeding any further, you should keep in mind that the app has not been updated for a long time, so its virus signatures are no longer up to date.Quick setup and simple interfaceThe installation procedure is a fast and easy job that does not require special attention. Suffice it to say, MaleoAV is likely to have compatibility issues with any other existing antivirus applications on your computer that will inevitably lead to OS stability problems, so it is indicated to uninstall any such components beforehand. As far as the interface is concerned, MaleoAV adopts a normal window with a playful look, showing several buttons for scanning the computer, accessing the quarantine manager, and checking the CRC hashes of files. Scan the PC, manage processes, and check CRC hashesThe software utility is able to scan any custom location on the hard disk. Alternatively, it can perform a full scan. Any infected or suspicious items can be sent to the quarantine and later examined to decide whether they are worth restoring or permanently deleting. As previously mentioned, it is possible to verify the CRC hash of files. You can also access a process manager and several registry tools. For example, you can disable system restore, set file attributes, as well as enable some Windows features: folder option, Registry Editor, Command Prompt, show file extension, setting hidden files, Task Manger, along with the Run Command and Search Menu. Evaluation and conclusionAs we said at the beginning of this review, MaleoAV has not been updated for a long time, so it cannot be considered a reliable agent for protecting the PC from the latest malware. It has a good response time, though, runs on low CPU and RAM, and rapidly finishes a scan job. Users are welcomed to try it out for themselves.
