Publisher's description
From GeCAD Software :RAV AntiVirus Desktop protects the contents of your PC from malicious computer viruses. The program's focus is thoroughness, simplicity, and ease of use, but it includes a lot of extras and is easily set to your liking. It combines a powerful scanner with a code emulator to detect most advanced Java, polymorphic, and macro viruses. RAV also scans Internet downloads and protects you from many of the new e-mail worms and viruses. It resides in your system tray to provide constant background monitoring. It can detect more than 77,000 known viruses and employs heuristic analysis techniques to detect unknown viruses and Trojans. A scheduler is available to perform complete or partial unattended scans. RAV also offers a custom skinned interface, logging support, audio support, a DOS antivirus module, virus quarantine support, and a number of settings that enable you to control which drives and folders to scan and how RAV should deal with detected viruses. Special support is available for MS Outlook and MS Office 2000. Excellent documentation and a known virus list are included.

Version: RAV AntiVirus Desktop 8.0
Pros: Installation was smooth and low on memory.
Cons: This software claims to have a big database of virus and high detection rate but none of this is true.It missed the following threats:Trojan_killav, Trojan_sub7, exploit_ dhtml.f, html_lamedon and cascade virus.Some of these threats disabled rav antivirus and did cause damage to my computer.That's why I am not recommending this antivirus software.
