Review and work with the AVZ antivirus utility. A great way to quickly remove a virus

Good day. Let's talk about antivirus AVZ .

Today I will tell you, my regular and not so regular readers, as well as all visitors who have picked up viruses willy-nilly, about how and with what, in fact, quickly and extremely adequately kill these most evil biological creatures of electronic origin that are causing mischief on your computer.

An antivirus utility will help us in this matter. AVZ, which is not a full-fledged antivirus (which, by the way, is good, because it does not conflict with what is already installed), but just a utility, but it does not require installation and often helps even in the most difficult cases, which has been confirmed by me and thousands of visitors over the course of for a long time.

Often it is with the help AVZ manages to let the system breathe again widely enough to at least revive/install a normal antivirus and finish off any riffraff with it (one way or another, it is recommended to start with AVZ and read the entire article, as it also contains links to further materials, in case this one does not help).

Introductory

In order to achieve full results, you must strictly follow the instructions written below. Deviations from the instructions may result in poor quality cleaning, possible errors in the further operation of the program or system, as well as other problems.

Where to download and how to run

Instructions for use:

How to scan for viruses using AVZ

On the "tab" Search area"Tick off all hard disks, flash drives (if not inserted, then insert). On the right we put a tick - " Carry out treatment".

In the first four lines select " Delete", in the penultimate " Treat"and in the latter too, of course" Delete". Also check the boxes " Copy suspicious files to Quarantine and Infected". Picture-illustration with correct settings is presented below:

Now the harshest part:

  1. Go to the tab " File types". Then there are three checking options: very long, long and fast.

    What is the difference? The difference is in the quality of the scan - the longer, the more thorough and the greater the chance that all viruses will be removed. The faster, the less chance of removing all viruses, but the less time scanning takes and the greater the chance of eliminating the most critical problem quickly, and dealing with the rest later;

  2. Go to the tab " Search options". Slider" Heuristic analysis"move to the very top (if we want to scan longer, but with better quality) and check the box" Advanced Analysis", and below we put two checkmarks " Block RootKit User-Mode" And " RootKit Kerner-Mode" (this is necessary so that not a single virus can escape anywhere, launch anything that interferes with the operation of the antivirus, and does not kick at all).

    Even lower, check the boxes " Automatically correct errors in SPI/LSP", "Searching for TCP/UDP program ports", "Search for keyboard hooks", and " Automatically fix system errors ". In general, we do everything as in the picture above;
  3. Tired? That's not all :) Next, click on " AVZGuard"(in the menu next to " File", "Service"etc) -> Enable AVZGuard and AVZPM -> "Install the advanced process monitoring driver". If a reboot is required, you can agree, but keep in mind that you will have to do all the steps except installing the driver again.
    Note! Not on all operating systems (this is especially true Windows 7 And Windows 8) can work and run " AVZGuard". If it gives an error and does not start, then skip this point and move on without making the error of great significance;
  4. That's it. Feel free to press the button " Start" and wait for the check to finish.

Attention!

During the check, most likely, you will not be able to run almost any program on the computer, or enter the system drive (usually C:\).

It's better to leave the computer alone. Why is that? The fact is that AVZ thus blocks all possible movements of viruses, programs, etc., i.e. any attempts to deceive the scanner (to run away, hide, pretend to be something else, etc.) or to cause mischief with their last breath.

Necessary actions after removing AVZ viruses

When you've finished working with the antivirus utility, before exiting (or after rebooting, if there was one), click AVZPM -> "Remove and unload the advanced process monitoring driver". Then " File" -> "Exit" and be sure to restart your computer.

After the reboot, you may be prompted to install unknown hardware found - do not be alarmed and cancel the offer. It shouldn't bother you anymore. If it is still harmful and appears, then do the following:

Go to "Start - Settings - Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager". There we find something with a yellow question mark among other devices. Click on it right click mouse and select " Delete".

If it doesn't help, then so be it AVZ, try the following: " File- Standard Scripts", then next check the box " Removing All AVZ Drivers and Registry Keys" and press " Execute marked scripts".

If it still doesn’t work out, please contact me via .

Test results and their analysis

Don’t panic if, during the scan, the utility found those that work with the network, can make calls, or programs that are included in the startup. It is likely that this is not a virus, but something from utility software.

As for suspicious files found but not deleted: after such a scan (even a quick one), most likely, most of the serious (or not completely) viruses that lived on you up to this point did not survive on your computer, but I urgently I recommend that you definitely check it with some good, full-fledged antivirus.

Which one? My personal choice is Dr.Web, but in general the choice of antivirus is a personal matter for everyone, because an ideal antivirus still does not exist.

Additional cleaning after AVZ

  • "What is spyware and how to deal with it. Part 1" and "". Very important articles that will help you remove such a thing as spyware. These are not exactly viruses, but in fact they do no less harm, if not more, and they are not always removed by ordinary antiviruses;
  • "How to remove viruses. Part 2". General installation and use article full version full-fledged antivirus Doctor Web for continuous protection, as well as for one-time search and removal of viruses of a wide variety of nature. This also includes the article “Removing viruses. Part 4.” for a one-time full scan without installing the full version of the antivirus (check it out, it may be useful);
  • "How to clean viruses. Part 3". A very very useful and important thing that allows you to search and find viruses before the system boots. Helps in the most advanced cases, because the anti-virus utility is written to disk, then launched from it even before starting Windows, which prevents viruses from loading into memory and in any way counteracting scanning.

This is probably all I can suggest for now from general recommendations for removing viruses. It goes without saying that more than anything useful information on this topic, as well as on the topic of security in general (antiviruses, firewalls, anti-, anti- spyware and so on, etc.), you can read in the section ""

Regarding decryption of reports and logs in particularly difficult cases (i.e. you just can’t cope using this article and links to all the others) You can contact us on the forum in this section (you must first register on the forum).

Video format of the article

For those who can’t do something, there is a video format:

Our announcer has a speech impediment, so please don’t be scared.

Afterword

The steps described above have been carried out repeatedly and tested for personal experience, on different computers, etc., etc. Problems that arise may be caused by the specifics of your operating system, the type of virus, or the actions you took.

As always, I am ready to answer any of your questions, help with analysis of scan reports and other virus killings. Write, if necessary, using , but it’s better, of course, contact us on the forum (I gave the link just above in the text).

PS: Thank you for your attention. Keep your computer clean!

Modern antiviruses have acquired various additional functionality so much that some users have questions while using them. In this lesson we will tell you about all key features AVZ antivirus operation.

Let's look at what AVZ is in as much detail as possible using practical examples. The following functions deserve the main attention of the average user.

Checking the system for viruses

Any antivirus should be able to detect malware on your computer and deal with it (treat or remove it). Naturally, this function is also present in AVZ. Let's see in practice what such a check is like.

  1. Let's launch AVZ.
  2. A small utility window will appear on the screen. In the area marked in the screenshot below, you will find three tabs. They all relate to the process of searching for vulnerabilities on a computer and contain different options.
  3. On the first tab "Search area" you need to tick those folders and sections of hard drives you want to scan. A little lower you will see three lines that allow you to enable additional options. We put marks in front of all positions. This will allow you to perform a special heuristic analysis, scan additional running processes and even identify potentially dangerous software.
  4. After that, go to the tab "File Types". Here you can choose what data the utility should scan.
  5. If you are doing a regular check, then just check the box "Potentially dangerous files» . If viruses have taken deep roots, then you should choose "All files".
  6. In addition to ordinary documents, AVZ easily scans archives, something that many other antiviruses cannot boast of. In this tab you can enable or disable this check. We recommend unchecking the checkbox for scanning large archives if you want to achieve maximum results.
  7. In total, your second tab should look like this.
  8. Next we go to the last section "Search Options".
  9. At the very top you will see a vertical slider. Move it all the way up. This will allow the utility to respond to all suspicious objects. In addition, we include checking API and RootKit interceptors, searching for keyloggers, and checking SPI/LSP settings. General form last tab you should have something like this.
  10. Now you need to configure the actions that AVZ will take when a particular threat is detected. To do this, you first need to check the box next to the line "Carry out treatment" in the right area of ​​the window.
  11. Next to each type of threat, we recommend setting the parameter "Delete". The only exceptions are threats like "HackTool". Here we recommend leaving the parameter "Treat". In addition, check the two lines below the list of threats.
  12. The second parameter will allow the utility to copy the unsafe document to a specially designated location. You can then view all the contents, and then safely delete them. This is done so that you can exclude from the list of infected data those that are not actually infected (activators, key generators, password generators, and so on).
  13. When all the settings and search parameters have been set, you can begin the scanning itself. To do this, click the corresponding button "Start".
  14. The verification process will begin. Her progress will be displayed in a special area "Protocol".
  15. After some time, which depends on the amount of data being scanned, the scanning will be completed. A message indicating the completion of the operation will appear in the log. The total time spent on analyzing files will also be indicated, as well as statistics on scanning and identified threats.
  16. By clicking on the button marked in the image below, you will be able to see in a separate window all the suspicious and dangerous objects that were identified by AVZ during the scan.
  17. The path to the dangerous file, its description and type will be indicated here. If you check the box next to the name of such software, you can move it to quarantine or completely remove it from your computer. When the operation is complete, press the button "OK" at the bottom.
  18. After cleaning your computer, you can close the program window.

System functions

In addition to standard malware scanning, AVZ can perform a lot of other functions. Let's look at those that may be useful to the average user. In the main menu of the program at the very top, click on the line "File". The result will be context menu, which contains all the available helper functions.

The first three lines are responsible for starting, stopping and pausing the scan. These are analogues of the corresponding buttons in the AVZ main menu.

System Research

This function will allow the utility to collect all information about your system. This does not mean the technical part, but the hardware. Such information includes a list of processes, various modules, system files and protocols. After you click on the line "System Research", a separate window will appear. Here you can specify what information AVZ should collect. After checking all the necessary boxes, you should click the button "Start" at the bottom.


After this, a save window will open. In it you can select the location of the document with detailed information, and also indicate the name of the file itself. Please note that all information will be saved as an HTML file. It opens in any web browser. Having specified the path and name for the saved file, you need to click the button "Save".


As a result, the process of scanning the system and collecting information will start. At the very end, the utility will display a window in which you will be asked to immediately view all the collected information.

System Restore

Using this set of functions, you can return elements of the operating system to their original form and reset various settings. Most often, malware tries to block access to the Registry Editor, Task Manager and write its values ​​in the system document. You can unlock such elements using the option "System Restore". To do this, just click on the name of the option itself, and then check the boxes for the actions that need to be performed.


After this you need to press the button “Perform marked operations” in the lower area of ​​the window.

A window will appear on the screen in which you must confirm the action.


After some time, you will see a message indicating that all tasks have completed. Just close this window by clicking the button "OK".

Scripts

In the list of parameters there are two lines related to working with scripts in AVZ - "Standard scripts" And "Run script".

Clicking on a line "Standard scripts", you will open a window with a list of ready-made scripts. All you need to do is tick the boxes that you want to run. After this, click the button at the bottom of the window "Run".


In the second case, you will launch the script editor. Here you can write it yourself or download one from your computer. Don't forget to click the button after writing or uploading "Run" in the same window.

Database update

This item is the most important of the entire list. By clicking on the corresponding line, you will open the AVZ database update window.

We do not recommend changing settings in this window. Leave everything as it is and press the button "Start".


After some time, a message will appear on the screen indicating that the database update is complete. All you have to do is close this window.

Viewing the contents of the Quarantine and Infected folders

By clicking on these lines in the list of options, you can view all potentially dangerous files that AVZ detected while scanning your system.

In the windows that open, you can permanently delete such files or restore them if they actually do not pose a threat.


Please note that in order for suspicious files to be placed in these folders, you must check the appropriate boxes in the system scanning settings.

This is the last option from this list, which the average user may need. As the name suggests, these parameters allow you to save the preliminary antivirus configuration (search method, scanning mode, etc.) to your computer, and also load it back.

When saving, you will only need to specify the file name, as well as the folder in which you want to save it. When loading the configuration, just select required file with settings and press the button "Open".

Exit

It would seem that this is an obvious and well-known button. But it is worth mentioning that in some situations - when a particularly dangerous software— AVZ blocks all methods of its own closing, except for this button. In other words, you will not be able to close the program with a keyboard shortcut "Alt+F4" or by clicking on the banal cross in the corner. This is done so that viruses cannot interfere with the correct operation of AVZ. But by clicking this button, you can close the antivirus if necessary for sure.

In addition to the options described, there are also others in the list, but they most likely will not be needed ordinary users. Therefore, we did not focus on them. If you still need help regarding the use of functions that are not described, write about it in the comments. And we move on.

List of services

In order to see the full list of services offered by AVZ, you need to click on the line "Service" at the very top of the program.

As in the last section, we will go over only those that may be useful to the average user.

Process Manager

By clicking on the very first line from the list, you will open a window "Process Manager". In it you can see a list of all executable files that are running on a computer or laptop in this moment time. In the same window you can read a description of the process, find out its manufacturer and the full path to the executable file itself.


You can also terminate a particular process. To do this, just select the required process from the list, then click on the corresponding button in the form of a black cross with right side window.


This service is an excellent replacement for the standard one. The service acquires particular value in situations where "Task Manager" blocked by a virus.

Services and Driver Manager

This is the second service in the general list. By clicking on the line with the same name, you will open the window for managing services and drivers. You can switch between them using a special switch.

In the same window, each item is accompanied by a description of the service itself, status (enabled or disabled), as well as the location of the executable file.


You can select the required item, after which you will have the options to enable, disable or complete removal services/drivers. These buttons are located at the top of the work area.

Startup manager

This service will allow you to fully customize autorun settings. Moreover, unlike standard managers, this list also includes system modules. By clicking on the line with the same name, you will see the following.


In order to disable the selected element, you only need to uncheck the box next to its name. In addition, it is possible to completely delete the required entry. To do this, simply select the desired line and click on the button at the top of the window in the form of a black cross.

Please note that a deleted value cannot be returned. Therefore, be extremely careful not to erase vital system startup records.

Hosts File Manager

We mentioned a little above that the virus sometimes writes its own values ​​in system file "Hosts". And in some cases, malware also blocks access to it so that you cannot fix it. changes made. This service will help you in such situations.

By clicking on the line shown in the image above in the list, you will open a manager window. You cannot add your own values ​​here, but you can delete existing ones. To do this, select the desired line with the left mouse button, and then press the delete button, which is located in the upper area of ​​the work area.


After this, a small window will appear in which you need to confirm the action. To do this, just press the button "Yes".


When the selected line is deleted, you just need to close this window.

Be careful not to delete lines whose purpose you don't know. To file "Hosts" Not only viruses, but also other programs can write their values.

System utilities

With AVZ you can also launch the most popular system utilities. You can see their list if you hover your mouse over the line with the corresponding name.


By clicking on the name of a particular utility, you will launch it. After this, you can make changes to (regedit), configure the system (msconfig) or check system files (sfc).

These are all the services we wanted to mention. Beginner users are unlikely to need a protocol manager, extensions, or other additional services. Such functions are more suitable for more advanced users.

AVZGuard

This function was developed to combat the most cunning viruses that using standard methods do not delete. She just takes it malware to the list of untrusted software that is prohibited from performing its operations. To enable this function you need to click on the line "AVZGuard" in the upper AVZ area. In the drop-down window, click on the item "Enable AVZGuard".

Be sure to close everything third party applications before enabling this feature, otherwise they will also be included in the list of untrusted software. The operation of such applications may be disrupted in the future.

All programs that are marked as trusted will be protected from deletion or modification. And the work of untrusted software will be suspended. This will allow you to safely remove dangerous files using a standard scan. After this, you should disable AVZGuard back. To do this, click again on a similar line at the top of the program window, and then click on the button to disable the function.

AVZPM

The technology indicated in the name will monitor all started, stopped and modified processes/drivers. To use it, you must first enable the corresponding service.

Click on the AVZPM line at the top of the window.
In the drop-down menu, click on the line “Install the advanced process monitoring driver”.


Within a few seconds, the necessary modules will be installed. Now, when changes are detected in any processes, you will receive a corresponding notification. If you no longer need such monitoring, you will need to simply click on the line marked in the image below in the previous drop-down window. This will unload all AVZ processes and remove previously installed drivers.

Please note that the AVZGuard and AVZPM buttons may be grayed out and inactive. This means that you have installed operating system x64. Unfortunately, the mentioned utilities do not work on an OS with this bit depth.

This brings this article to its logical conclusion. We tried to tell you how to use the most popular features in AVZ. If you still have questions after reading this lesson, you can ask them in the comments to this post. We will be happy to pay attention to each question and try to give the most detailed answer.

Every user has encountered system problems related to viruses and malware. The problems they cause are very serious. Sometimes you have to completely reinstall the system, or the equipment may malfunction. But you don’t always need to turn to specialists for help. Many problems can be solved on their own. This is where AVZ antivirus comes to the rescue. Let's take a closer look at how to work with it.

What is this program

AVZ does not work in real time like antiviruses installed on a PC. You don't have to install it. The utility is in Russian. Does not conflict with antiviruses installed on the system. I have it Smart Security. In this case, the utility works great. There is no need to disable permanent antivirus.

When to use it

AVZ removes viruses such as AdWare, SpyWare and Trojans. If you notice that your PC is not working as usual: it freezes, the software loads slowly, it won’t turn off, try working with AVZ. Even if everything works as it should, periodically scan your PC with this utility.

How to download and install

Download the latest version from the official website: http://z-oleg.com/avz4.zip

The latest version includes support for Windows 10

Extract the downloaded archive to the “avz4” folder. If you want, change her name to something else. Next, launch it by clicking on the avz.exe file.
Before starting work, update the databases. In the window that opens, find the “Update” icon.

For Windows 7/10, for AVZ to work correctly, run it as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the avz.exe executable file. Next, select the appropriate item.

What to do before work

AVZ is a utility for troubleshooting problems caused by viruses. Therefore, before starting work, run, for example, a one-time utility. It will get rid of viruses, and AVZ will correct violations and delete files created by the virus. Will clean the system after removal.

How to use

Let's launch the utility. The main program window consists of three tabs:

On the first tab “Search Area”, select what to scan on the HDD. A little lower there will be three options. Check the boxes next to them. This will allow you to perform heuristic analysis, scan running processes, and identify malicious software.

File type

In this tab, select what to scan. If a simple check is being performed, check the “Potentially dangerous” box. If there are a lot of viruses - “All files”. The utility works with archives in addition to simple documents. In this tab, configure this check. Uncheck the checkbox next to archive checking.

Search options

A slider will appear at the top. Move it up to enable checking for keyboard hooks. The end result should look like the picture.
Next, configure what action to perform if a virus is found:

A check will run, the result of which will be displayed in the area called “Protocol”. After a short period of time (depending on the amount of information being checked), the scanning will end. Next, the program will indicate the scanning time and the threats found.
If threats are found, look at them by clicking on the button marked in the figure below.
If there are suspicious objects, the program will write the path to them, description, and type. Here you can move it to quarantine or delete it.

System functions

In addition to checking for viruses and malware, AVZ performs many functions. Let's talk about the most useful ones. To access them, click on "File". A context menu with all functions will open.
Let's look at the most important ones.

System Research

The function will collect information about the system. This is the technical and hardware part. This includes: system files, protocols, processes. By clicking on the “Research” link, a new window will open, where you indicate to the utility what information you need to collect. Having installed everything you need, click on “Start”.
In a new window, the program will offer to save the document. It contains the selected information in html format. Opens in any browser. Next, click “Save”.
Scanning will begin. After it is completed, you will be able to view the selected information.

Recovery

These functions can return OS elements to their original state and remove settings. The malware wants to deny access to the “Registry Editor” or “Manager”. Tries to add parameters to the “hosts” system file. The restore option will unlock these items. To start, click on it and check the boxes for the actions you want to perform. I checked the 11, 13, 17 option. Next, click on “Run”.

Scripts

The list of options found in the “File” menu includes functions that work with scripts. These are “Run”, “Standard”.
By clicking on “Standard” a window will appear with a list of ready-made scripts. Check the boxes as needed. Next, click on “Run”.
Another option will launch the editor. Write the script yourself, or download from your PC. Next, click the “Run” button.

Quarantine and Infected option

By clicking on this item, view the potentially dangerous elements detected by the utility during scanning.
Delete the files (if found), or restore if they are not dangerous.
To have potentially dangerous software quarantined, check the appropriate boxes in the settings.

Services

To view the list of services offered by the program, click on the corresponding “Service” line.
Let's look at the most used ones.

Process Manager

All are displayed here executable files, working in the system. In a new window, look at their description and the path to them.
End the process if necessary. Select it from the list and click on the button with a black cross. Located to the right of the window.

This is a replacement for the dispatcher installed in the system. It is of particular value if it is blocked by a virus.

Services and Driver Manager

The second service on the list. By clicking on it, a window will open where you select the service using the switch: services, drivers all. Select the desired item and then disable, stop or delete it.

Startup manager

Use it to configure settings for programs that start with the system. To disable, uncheck the box next to the selected item. The entry can be completely deleted. To do this, press the button with a black cross on it.

Once deleted, it cannot be restored. Therefore, check carefully so as not to erase important records.

Hosts File Manager

If a virus has written its own values ​​in this file and blocked access, use this option. A new window will display its contents. It won't be possible to add anything. Just delete. This is done using the button with a black cross.

Launching utilities

The program allows you to work with popular applications. To do this, go to “Service” - “System”. By clicking on system utilities, you can:


AVZGuard

If you have a virus that cannot be removed, use the AVZGuard function. It adds the malware to the list of untrusted software that cannot be operated on. To activate, click on the AVZGuard line.

I would like to note that this function and AVZPM do not work for me, since these technologies are not supported by 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems. Read more about this in the official technical documentation by the address: http://z-oleg.com/secur/avz_doc/index.html?t_install.htm.

Conclusion

I recommend that all users download AVZ. Run the virus scan utility periodically. Its main task is to remove spyware, Trojans and SpyWare. But this does not mean that you do not need to use antiviruses that protect your PC in real time.

So I got to the next healing utility, called AVZ, as promised. There are a huge number of viruses written for Windows and not every antivirus is able to find them all. In other words - perfect protection haven't figured it out yet. But you can use several utilities at the same time. One will complement the other, because if one antivirus does not find one or the other malicious file, then another antivirus program will detect it.

In one of my articles I talked about the utility, which is also a cool program that I recommend using, but we move on to what the AVZ antivirus utility is.

Overview and use of the AVZ utility

A little higher, I misspoke a little when I said that avz is an antivirus. In fact, this is a simple program that does not require installation, which searches for viruses and malware, treats or gets rid of them, the program, like Dr Web Cureit It doesn’t work in real time, but that’s okay, the main thing for us is to find viruses. And also, if you already have some kind of antivirus on your computer, then AVZ will not conflict with it. Although, it would be possible to disable the antivirus during the scan, but this is not a prerequisite.

When can I use AVZ and where can I download it?

The program is quite universal, because it not only searches for viruses such as worms and Trojans, but also such malicious things as AdWare and . By the way, AVZ - free utility, you can download it from the official website z-oleg.com. For now latest version program - 4.46, but if you use it often, then stay tuned for updates.

The program will download as an archive that needs to be unpacked somewhere. Open the unpacked folder and run the file from there avz.exe. A program window opens, from here we will begin our review of the AVZ utility.

Scanning and neutralizing viruses using AVZ

So you launched the program, and there are many different settings, some of which to a simple user may not be clear. But I will tell you how and what to do.

First you need to update the utility database; to do this, you can click on the globe icon on the right, or click “File” - “Update databases”.

A window appears in which click the button "Start" and wait until the necessary files are downloaded. When everything is downloaded, the program will tell you about it.


Now in the program window go to the tab "Search area". You will see all the disks connected to the computer and drives, be sure to check the box next to system disk, but the rest is also better noted.

Below we check all the boxes where running processes are checked, heuristic checks and searches for potential vulnerabilities are carried out.

On the right side of the treatment method, check the box "Perform treatment" and for all items we select "Delete". Next to the “HackTool” item, select the parameter "Treat". Just below we check all the available boxes.


Now go to the tab "File Types", where we set the checkbox opposite "All files".If the “Do not check archives again” checkbox is checked, uncheck it. What we have set up is a long-term check, if you want to check the system in depth, then set up the program in accordance with these instructions.



At this point we have finished setting up the program, which means you can press the button "Start" and wait for the system scan to complete. During the scanning process, it is better not to touch anything, but just wait. After the utility completes, restart your computer.

Additional features of AVZ

The AVZ program can not only scan the system and remove viruses. If you press the button "Service" in the program menu, then there you will see many different managers, for example, “Process Manager”, which shows all running processes in the system. There is a description of them and the manufacturer, and processes can be controlled from there.


The Services and Driver Manager contains running processes. They can also be controlled.



More on this topic:

I think I'll end here. As you can see, the AVZ healing utility is a very cool thing; in combination with similar programs, you don’t have to worry about the security of your computer, but good antivirus, working in real time, you still need to have it. I haven’t finished reviewing these products yet; there are a couple more on the way. After which I will write an article about what set of programs you should have on a flash drive to fully work with a computer, so to speak, a flash drive for all occasions.

The main task of any antivirus is to identify and destroy malicious software. Therefore, not all security software can work with files such as scripts. However, the hero of our today’s article is not one of those. In this lesson we will tell you how to work with scripts in AVZ.

Scripts written and executed in AVZ are aimed at identifying and destroying various types of viruses and vulnerabilities. Moreover, the software contains both ready-made basic scripts and the ability to execute other scripts. We already mentioned this in passing in our separate article on using AVZ.

Let's now look at the process of working with scripts in more detail.

Method 1: Executing prepared scripts

Described in this method scripts are built into the program itself by default. They cannot be changed, removed or modified. You can only start their execution. Here's what it looks like in practice.

  1. Run the file from the folder with the program "avz".
  2. At the very top of the window you will find a list of sections that are located horizontally. You need to left-click on the line "File". After this, an additional menu will appear. In it you need to click on the item "Standard scripts".
  3. As a result, a window will open with a list of standard scenarios. Unfortunately, it is impossible to view the code of each script, so you will have to be content with just the name of them. Moreover, the name indicates the purpose of the procedure. Check the checkboxes next to the scripts you want to execute. Please note that you can mark multiple scripts at once. They will be executed sequentially, one after the other.
  4. After you select the required items, you need to click on the button "Run marked scripts". It is located at the very bottom of the same window.
  5. Before the actual execution of the scripts starts, you will see an additional window on the screen. You will be asked if you really want to run the marked scripts. To confirm you need to press the button "Yes".
  6. Now you need to wait some time until the execution of the marked scripts is completed. When this happens, you will see a small window on the screen with a corresponding message. To finish you just need to press the button "Ok" in such a window.
  7. Next, close the window with the list of procedures. The entire script execution process will be displayed in the AVZ area called "Protocol".
  8. You can save it by clicking on the floppy disk button to the right of the area itself. In addition, a little lower there is a button with a picture of glasses.
  9. By clicking on this button with points, you will open a window that will display all suspicious and dangerous files detected by AVZ during script execution. By checking such files, you can move them to quarantine or completely erase them from hard drive. To do this, there are special buttons with similar names at the bottom of the window.
  10. After operations with detected threats, all you have to do is close this window, as well as AVZ itself.

That's the whole process of using standard scripts. As you can see, everything is very simple and does not require any special skills from you. These scripts are always up to date, as they are automatically updated along with the version of the program itself. If you want to write your own script or run another script, our next method will help you.

Method 2: Working with individual procedures

As we noted earlier, using this method you can write your own script for AVZ or download the necessary script from the Internet and execute it. To do this you need to do the following manipulations.

  1. Let's launch AVZ.
  2. As in the previous method, click on the line at the very top "File". In the list you need to find the item "Run script", then left-click on it.
  3. After this, the script editor window will open. In the very center there will be a work area in which you can write your own script or one downloaded from another source. Moreover, you can even simply paste the copied script text with a banal key combination "Ctrl+C" And "Ctrl+V".
  4. Slightly above the work area there will be four buttons shown in the image below.
  5. Buttons "Download" And "Save" Most likely they don't need any introduction. By clicking on the first one, you can select from the root directory text file with the procedure, thereby opening it in the editor.
  6. When you press a button "Save", a similar window will appear. Only in it you will already need to specify the name and location for the saved file with the script text.
  7. Third button "Run" will allow you to execute a written or downloaded script. Moreover, its implementation will begin immediately. The process time will depend on the volume of actions performed. In any case, after some time you will see a window notifying you that the operation has completed. After this, it should be closed by pressing the button "Ok".
  8. The progress of the operation and accompanying steps of the procedure will be displayed in the main AVZ window in the field "Protocol".
  9. Please note that if the script contains errors, it simply will not run. As a result, you will see an error message on the screen.
  10. By closing such a window, you will automatically be taken to the line in which the error itself was found.
  11. If you write the script yourself, then the button will be useful to you "Check Syntax" in the main editor window. It will allow you to check the entire script for errors without first running it. If everything goes smoothly, you will see the following message.
  12. In this case, you can close the window and safely run the script or continue writing it.

That's all the information we wanted to tell you about in this lesson. As we have already mentioned, all scripts for AVZ are aimed at eliminating virus threats. But besides scripts and AVZ itself, there are other ways to get rid of viruses without installed antivirus. We talked about such methods earlier in one of our special articles.
