 Rarst: Description is inaccurate. AVZ is more of diagnostics and manual cleanup tool, rather than usual antivirus scanner.

It has own engine and it's Kaspersky engine that uses some of its parts, not the other way. Databases are different as well.

Overall this is great tool but for advanced usage, it doesn't work like launch and forget. [2009-11-28 09:10]

 Stanley: Is there an English text Web page? [2009-11-28 19:46]

 Rarst: @Stanley

Nope, official pages are in Russian only as far as I know. AVZ itself does have English interface if run on Windows with non-Russian locale. [2009-11-29 08:22]

 Edwin: AVZ put a file called "utmyntkw.sys" in c:\windows\system32\driver.
Panda tells me that this files has the rootkit/bagle.uv in it. [2010-02-09 19:38]

 db81: The help file won't open in Vista (old .hlp file) and the "words" on the GUI only appear as numbers and symbols. Had to have Google translate the website but no mention of it works on Vista. [2010-07-09 15:15]

 bajaatan: Spybot (Tea timer) see this program as Dropper.4Maximus and terminate process. Earlier version didn't have this problem [2010-07-12 06:44]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
