    "Malware or worse"

    April 4, 2013  |   By bikebrains

    Version: Anvi Smart Defender 1.8

    Pros

    None, avoid like the plague.

    Cons

    Anvisoft is run by a famous Chinese hacker named Tan Dailin ( a. k. a. Wicked Rose, Withered Rose) In 2007, Verisign's iDefense released a report about Wicked Rose. For the whole scary story read the Krebsonsecurity expose of Anvisoft. According to commentators on Krebsonsecurity, The Canadian address for Anvisoft is a mailbox. The Anvisoft address for the United States headquarters does not exist. Read all of the comments, they were written by skilled people.

    Summary

    DO NOT BUY.

    "Found what another didn't"

    March 18, 2013  |   By GodsPoiema

    Version: Anvi Smart Defender 1.8

    Pros

    I have been using it free for a few months and it finds things and gets rid of them, which SpyHunter did not find and helped my computer to run more smoothly.

    Cons

    It seemed to interfere with SpyHunter and RegHunter but I've never known such programs not to clash with oneanother.

    Summary

    I keep favoring the free version of AnviSmartDefender over what I have now so am going to buy it so that I will be real time protected.

    "I was told it was free. It isn't."

    February 20, 2013  |   By dspack

    Version: Anvi Smart Defender 1.8

    Pros

    I don't know. I wish I knew of some

    Cons

    It's very annoying to be told there are many, many errors on your computer and now you'll have to pay to have them removed

    Summary

    I really resent being lied to!

    "Lightweight but powerful"

    February 11, 2013  |   By 1dustpelt

    Version: Anvi Smart Defender 1.8

    Pros

    This program is awesome. It uses very little resources, yet it is very powerful and successfully removed the System Check virus from my computer. It has a great GUI.

    Cons

    This is a relatively new program, future versions probably be even better.

    Summary

    Great

    "Trojan Horse"

    February 11, 2013  |   By sleddog1995

    Version: Anvi Smart Defender 1.8

    Pros

    Uninstalling it solved all the glitches and problems on my computer.

    Cons

    Disabled Yahoo mail and AVG and Malewarebytes, and several other programs, and gave many false positives of malware that didn't even exist.

    Summary

    Sorry I downloaded this wolf in sheep's clothing, but such is my experience with it.
