What it does
Smadav is a supplementary antivirus for Windows computers and USB drives, with scanning, cleanup and additional manual tools in its Pro offering.
Smadav presents itself as supplementary protection alongside a primary antivirus. Its USB workflow scans drive-borne threats and attempts to restore files hidden by an infection. Review coexistence with the installed antivirus rather than assuming every combination behaves the same. The official page says Free and Pro have the same detection capability; Pro adds manual cleanup tools, exclusions, administrator settings and permission for institutional or company use. That license distinction matters before using a free personal installation across organization machines.
