Free alternative to Zaitsev Antivirus (AVZ)?

Question

open source

Due to the lack of real development of Zaitsev Anti-Virus (AVZ), on the part of the author, I am looking for a multifunctional free analogue for detecting "holes" in the system and analyzing the system for viruses, trojans, etc.

Answer 1

According to the classification, AVZ watchmen-detectives are a typical "detective" It is a pity that Zaitsev abandoned his offspring - there are very few "detectives", and personally I know only one more - this is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
But there is a nuance here. The fact is that now Malwarebytes offers users version 3, which, firstly, has become paid, and secondly, has become "like everyone else", i.e. turned into a dull banal "watchman". Therefore, if you want to use the elements of the "detective" in this antivirus, you will have to find the previous version, no later than 2.2. Naturally, even in version 2.2, this antivirus will persuade you to upgrade to 3 - do not fall for these hints, click the "later" button. As for anti-virus databases, their latest versions automatically, at the beginning of the scan, also download version 2.2 perfectly, so you don’t need to take special care of this (except for concerns about the presence of an Internet connection). Just choose what to check and start.
UPD: Vadim, thanks for replenishing the list of current "detectives" (I mean, of course, Universal Virus Sniffer). Downloaded, I'll try to use it.

Answer 3

Try clamAV based antivirus. This is a free antivirus. But if you are a believer, I warn you, his logo is in the form of a devil.
