Testing the Ukrainian antivirus Zillya!

Now Ukrainian antivirus Zillya! It pops up sometimes in one place, then in another.

The first time I tested it on a virtual machine, it showed just disgusting results. I saw few viruses, part system files offered to quarantine. I even agreed with him, knowing that Windows would not boot after that, or, at best, the desktop would not be shown. it was suggested to quarantine explorer.exe. But everything turned out to be simpler, and then the antivirus was unable to send the infectious file to quarantine.

Time passed, the antivirus began to appear more and more often, a short interview with company representatives appeared. It's time to see what has changed in the antivirus, how it is suitable for home to protect your computer. Or maybe Zilla! It is worth offering to install for a long time for some reason a neighbor who didn’t like or an acquaintance. Let's see.

Initial data.

Successes of the Ukrainian Zillya! Antivirus

- Bezkostovny, superficial, efficient

-Vyavlyaє that zneshkodzhuє be-like a threat

-Bagatorіvneva system of protection against spyware and advertising programs

-Unique technologies for recognizing new and unknown threats (heuristic analysis)

-Mitteve the blocking of unsafe files that can penetrate the computer from mail notifications or from the Internet

-Possibility to install Zillya! Antivirus alert to computer infections

-Intellectual mechanism for selection of optimal performance over the detected threat

-Ukrainian podtrimka

Installation is performed on virtual machine, OS Windows XP with SP 3. A previously caught small collection of viruses was launched on the machine and it was not disconnected from the Internet; calmly viruses could be downloaded and updated. This was done on purpose in order to be as similar as possible to the real situation, when the machine does not know where the virus is, nor the number of these same viruses.

This virtual OS is infected specifically for the use of anti-virus scanning.

The desktop looks like this:

Installing an antivirus.

What can I say, the antivirus itself is installed from the Internet, and when using a proxy server, you may need to enter proxy data manually.

Of the minuses, if the computer is seriously affected and there is no access to the Internet, then this antivirus is not for you. It will not be possible to update and install it.

Of the pluses, on an OS with a bunch of viruses that are already fighting with each other Zillya! Installed normally, fulfilling the promises written on the site, but given that viruses do not know about this antivirus none of this was to be expected.

Launching the scanner and selecting scan objects.

The antivirus was installed, I rebooted just in case. The antivirus itself did not require it, which makes you wonder how deeply the antivirus is built into the OS and whether it can catch something from complex viruses that hide from detection.

After the reboot, file monitoring did not start. Well, it didn’t start automatically and okay, let’s manually launch the antivirus. At the same time, the antivirus icon lit up in the corner, the window of either the scanner or the control center was displayed.

Yeah I think. Now I'll tell you to check the necessary folders, and I'll go to lunch myself. But the joy did not last long. Selective scanning cannot be performed on several folders and drives at once. Only one directory at a time.

As you can see in the figure, put "checkmarks" next to desired folders it is forbidden. It is also not possible to select multiple elements using Ctrl button. Let not a small nuisance, but it is. Okay, I'll put a full check.

A short wait and here is the result. Found 157 viruses. True, a cursory review showed that viruses that hide from detection were not found. Maybe it's so only at first glance?

Treatment.

So the scanning process is completed, there are viruses detected. Now I will choose what I need to treat, go to manual actions, select an operation on one archive, such as ignore it and click apply.

After a short treatment, I already thought to breathe more freely, antivus coped with what he found. An no.

Okay, I didn’t delete a part, maybe it will delete it after a reboot. And just in case, I look through the results of the scan.

Oops, for some reason there are viruses with the inscription ignored.

I wonder what happened to the antivirus. Decided to repeat the search and treatment already without manual operations. It might help.

While looking for the second time and finding viruses, I notice a false positive for the archive. In general, there are programs for Delphi and some often cause false positives of various antiviruses. But something else is interesting here. Having written that a virus was found in the archive, the antivirus did not indicate the most interesting thing, did it catch the virus in the contents of the archive or was the archive how the file was mistaken for a virus? Uninformative, but not fatal in most cases.

Okay, the second scan is over, 39 viruses were found. All default actions and clicked Apply.

Like the first time a window popped out, the lightning managed to remove everything. And again I look at the results of treatment.

Disappointingly, we must admit that at the same time we found out that the omission in the treatment of the past was most likely caused by a program error, possibly by incorrect behavior of the site responsible for the manual selection of the type of treatment. Okay, now for another vital check. Will the healed OS be able to boot?

Judging by the screenshot, I couldn't. Antivirus healed windows half to death. Remembering little by little all the relatives, I download kureit from the Internet and see what is left alive from the viruses. I don’t want to understand why Windows is crippled, most likely the problem is that the registry files were not fixed when they were deleted.

Finish

At the finish line, check how carefully Zillya! coped with scanning where and what I missed. To do this, I used a utility from Dr .Web - CureIt !. omissions of the tested antivirus were immediately found.

I will also add that Zillya! does not scan files in the directory where checkpoints are saved Windows recovery. This is a significant disadvantage as for the antivirus. Cureit found in control points several hundred virus files!!!

conclusions

What can be said in the conclusions? It's probably easier to list the pros and cons first. this decision in comparison with my last test of this antivirus and in relation to other antiviruses.

Free of charge

Improved scanning

Significantly increased bases

The correct method of treatment is chosen.

- the antivirus still does not have enough low-level access to files. It probably doesn't have a tenacious enough resident module (I didn't set out to test it).

- installation only from the Internet

- in the last test, I mentioned problems with viruses like ntos .exe and the like, this time the problem remained. Apparently, the Ukrainian antivirus is not yet able to pick out and detect such files in the system. Although brought on a silver platter in the catalog was successfully caught.

- Violation of windows after treatment.

- in my case, the resident module was not loaded when Windows startup.

- errors in the program

As a result, we have a product that, after significant refinement, can become quite competitive.

Currently Zillya! I found and quarantined or removed almost all viruses on the test machine. I didn’t find just a few pieces, and I finished off the long-suffering Windows J

After refinement, and it seems significant, a good product can turn out. Already now it is clear that last time there were changes for the better. Though when will it come out a new version then we'll see, but for now it's better to offer it to your enemies. And what do you think?

P.S. For mistakes, please do not kick hard.

Zillya Free Antivirus Review! Antivirus

At the beginning of the installation, two languages ​​will be offered to choose from - Russian and Ukrainian.

Installation process of Zilla! Antivirus is standard.

2. Interface and main tab

Zilla! Anti-virus against the background of other anti-virus products of the security software market is distinguished by a simple, at the same time stylish and usable interface, adapted for devices with touch screens thanks to the implementation of large controls. At the top of the window, in large inscriptions, transitions to different sections of the antivirus will be placed, in the very center of the main tab we will see an indicator of the computer's status. The main window is customizable.

When you press a button "More" the computer status indicator will turn into a tile and give way to other tiles of individual antivirus functions, including launch buttons manual update and computer scans, as well as an active threats widget.

3. Proactive defense "Watchdog"

Inscription "Protection OK" means Zilla! The antivirus works with active protection enabled - real-time protection, and that the user is protected from active threats. Proactive defense Zillya! The antivirus is called "Sentry", and if necessary, it can be temporarily disabled and then re-enabled using the appropriate options in the context menu on the antivirus icon in the system tray.

AT individual cases Zilla! Anti-virus can not only be deprived of proactive protection, but also completely turned off. Moreover, this can be done very simply, without unnecessary dancing with a tambourine, as is the case with other antiviruses - using the same context menu on the system tray icon. When you turn off Zillya! The anti-virus will then prompt you to automatically turn on after a certain time.

4. Update anti-virus databases

Zilla! The anti-virus is updated automatically, but if necessary, the anti-virus databases can be updated manually in the tab, respectively, "Update". The creators of the antivirus approached the issue of the relevance of anti-virus databases so seriously that most of the tab space "Update" Given under the time counter since the last update.

5. Scan

Zillya antivirus scanning functionality! Antivirus is traditionally represented by the possibility quick scan in boot sectors, full scan the whole computer and selective scan.

Selective scanning allows you to specify only individual disk partitions or folders with files for scanning.

In the process of scanning the computer, we will see a report on the fact of the work already done - the time of the scan, detected and neutralized threats.

All threats detected during the scan will be quarantined unless otherwise specified by the user in the settings.

6. Quarantine

So, threats blocked in the proactive defense mode and during the scanning process are sent to quarantine. In the program tab "Threats" find separately active threat repository- threats not yet processed by antivirus - and separately quarantine- a place to isolate already processed threats. Objects from the section "Active Threats" can be moved to quarantine manually by the user.

Detected threats from quarantine can be removed one at a time, carefully studying background information for each separate object, or you can clear the quarantine in one click, thus getting rid of all isolated threats.

Which, by the way, is not recommended because the developers of Zillya! Antivirus does not even deny the fact of many cases of false positives of their offspring. Moreover, they invite their user audience to cooperate in this direction. From the developer's website, link:

http://zillya.ua/ru/support/av_zis/s_choice/ru

using a special contact form, you can send them files for analysis, in respect of which, according to users, Zillya! The antivirus made a false positive.

7. Restoring files and adding to exclusions

Zilla! The antivirus is vigilant on duty and cruel to threats. And it would be nice if he mercilessly sent various activators, keygens, patches to quarantine, but in our case, during testing, a very harmless program for creating portable software, which we previously reviewed on the pages of the site, did not come into play. Herself and the portable Zillya! The antivirus called Trojan downloaders and placed all of them in quarantine.

You can restore any file in respect of which the antivirus has made a false positive by adding this file to the exclusions right in the quarantine section. To do this, click on the object, press the button "Another Action", then choose "To the Exceptions".

After being added to exclusions, the object will be automatically restored and will acquire immunity for proactive protection and computer scanning processes. Objects added to exclusions are displayed as a list in the program tab "Threats", In chapter "Exceptions". In this section, any of the added objects can be deleted at any time. As well as adding any of the files, any of the folders to the list, so that they also receive immunity and are not blocked by proactive protection during scanning.

8. Settings

In the tab "Settings" Zilla! Antivirus will detect from the start a little that lends itself to user adjustment. it various modes protection and alerts.

By default, the antivirus is set to optimal protection mode – a mode in which protective filters for checking connected USB devices and mail, as well as scanning archives, are disabled. Economical protection mode, in addition to the unused capabilities of the optimal mode, does not yet check boot sectors. Whereas maximum the level of protection provides for all the functions possible in the free version.

Installed by default recommended alert mode means that Zillya! Antivirus in the system tray will only appear on important issues. Quiet the alert mode does not bother the user even on important issues. Detailed the alert mode will report with a pop-up window in the system tray for each of its steps.

And the dialog mode of notifications in case of detection of a threat will offer the user a choice of actions.

For the opportunity to use Zillya for free! The antivirus asks a little - only a simple registration when accessing advanced settings. To do this, press the button "Customize by yourself" and press"OK"in a dialog box with a notification about the need to register a copy of the antivirus.

After that, press the inscription "Register for free».

After registration, we will have access to advanced settings, where we can configure the scan scheduler, automatic action when threats are detected, the alert system, work individual modules, the procedure for updating anti-virus databases, etc.

9. Efficiency

As long as new malware appears, until then there will be no ideal product on the security software market that would give 100% effectiveness. And since the history of the struggle between good and evil in various interpretations is as old as the world, and its end is clearly not near, to judge the effectiveness of Zillya! The antivirus will be against the background of another antivirus, a kind of standard in the security software market -. And according to the results of independent tests on the Internet, Zillya! Antivirus beats Kaspersky both in terms of the number of threats found and the speed of scanning. With test file EICAR-Test-File to check the performance of anti-virus products from the same Kaspersky Lab Zillya! The antivirus did a flawless job and quarantined it with lightning speed.

10. Zillya Paid Products!

More free antivirus version Zillya developers! for the layman can offer a paid software package Zilla! internet security. There is no special need for this, since we still won’t achieve improved computer protection, but we’ll pay for what we can get among the standard Windows functionality using free extensions for browsers and third party programs. These are functions such as: parental control, web filter, file shredder, system optimizer, task manager and startup manager. But the paid package for the business segment can offer functions that are relevant for large enterprises remote control client parts of the antivirus.

11. Antivirus utility Zillya!

Serious antivirus products often, in addition to the main solutions installed in operating system They also offer portable anti-virus utilities. These do not conflict with the anti-virus software installed on the system, and ideally it is recommended to run them periodically when using any security software, even paid ones. A utility from another developer will provide scanning using, respectively, other methods of anti-virus scanning and other anti-virus databases. A portable anti-virus utility from the Ukrainian anti-virus laboratory is called Zilla! Scanner. It can be downloaded for free from the official website at this link:
