Nano Antivirus - Community Opinions

[vrb93]

Hello friends!

I was surfing on youtube when I had a look to a review (posted link) of Nano Antivirus.


Just read something around on MalwareTips, but didn't find many topic about this product.
It's a lot of time it's in beta, but performed well in this test.

I am not saying that this product is the ultimate malware protection, nor it's a good/bad/perfect AV basing myself on a single review or test.

I would just know your opinions about this AV and why it's not very common among our members.

It's Russian Antivirus and its detection is not so good.

You're wrong mate! 363mb installer! That's not "nano" at all

I've tested it some time ago and the detection was not so bad, but it could be much better.

Very bad detection.

Installed NANO AV last yeat and ran it for a couple of months. After removing NANO AV and switching to a different AV - full scans with several well known stand alone scanners revealed no infections. It did it's job well.

All I can say is that it's a BETA product and has been for a very long time. On the plus side it's free.

I stopped using it after getting fed up with needing to fully remove then reinstall NANO AV every time a product update was available. This was as a result of using Comodo Firewall (my choice) which always interfered with the update process. If was easier to disable the firewall, reinstall NANO AV then add installed files to the trusted list.

Is this will be free even after beta?

Good review.

Just got the feeling that it`ll be in beta for years to come as it`s been around for so long.

The detection rates and web-filter seem decent, at least it`s not yet another bitdefender clone.

Maybe beta in Russian means finished product ?

Has anyone tested this recently? Curious about its detection rates and heuristics/FPs. It is a 500 MB install and from the looks of it, all Russian language.

Its no longer in Beta, selling here for 4.00 NANO AntiVirus Pro Download

BUT it was reviewed a few months ago and you should watch this first.
