In Russia, a draft
national browser is being prepared, and in Ukraine the national Anti-Virus is ready and actively distributed.
Not so long ago, I stumbled upon Google IPO on a standard and often annoying
question about the “best antivirus”, but the answers flashed a completely non-standard offer to use Zillya, moreover, with the most positive reviews in his direction, which caused my interest.
On Habrahabr, there is already a
mention of this antivirus. The official antivirus page: http://zillya.com and from this moment the interesting has already begun: when we go to this page, we see this (I suspect an IP check):

in fairness it should be noted that no one bothers us to pretend to be Ukrainian, which I did. The site is made in the orange-blue gamut and there are still 2 languages ​​available, which pleased me because I do not speak Ukrainian:

immediately counters the downloads (I was 249789 downloaded), which in combination is a link to an on-line installer weighing 305kb

after the launch of which the download starts already 63071kb (while waiting ...)
In the upper right corner of the site you can see an interactive page, when you hover over it, it turns over and we see the call “Sell Zillya! with us ”and the email address of contacts without a hyperlink marked“ write for more information ”. Also on the site I found the following:
- - Zillya! Server - the ability to use Zillya servers! instead of installing the server part of the antivirus on the company's own servers.
- - Free Zillya! for non-profit organizations (state authorities, educational institutions, religious communities, other organizations whose purpose is not profit-making). Available after filling out the questionnaire on the site, in the news section it is mentioned that on the first day of the program more than 1000 questionnaires were received, which are now being considered.
- - Gift shop Zillya! cups, stickers on cars, t-shirts, raglans with antivirus logo.
- - Zillya! - Assistant, anti-virus scanner on demand ("You can recommend us to your friends (do not forget that even owners of antivirus programs can use Zillya! Assistant")
When all files are uploaded to the temporary directory, the installation starts. At the beginning, the installer checks the programs already running in the system, then starts unpacking, after installation (v 1.0.1203.0) we see the interface:

I note that the antivirus has its own interface, and not the standard “Windows Aero Simplified”, which it simulates.
It is strange that neither during the installation, nor at the start, nor after the start of the scan, did Zillya react to the already fully installed ESET Nod32 SS 4.0 (which, in turn, only asked permission for Zillya to access the network)
From the capabilities of the antivirus, the interface reflects the following:
- Scanning MS Office documents before opening;
- Scanning files downloaded using Internet Explorer;
- Heuristic analysis;
- Scan mail messages (in, Out, in & out) the ability to add a virus-free certificate.
Utilities are present:
- Task Manager;
- Startup Manager.
there is a scheduler with already added fast scan once a day and the ability to send a suspicious file to the laboratory for analysis.
Elementary settings:
- the ability to boot from the OS;
- shutdown screensaver;
- scanning: boot sectors, archived, packed files;
- the choice of action when a virus is detected, dangerous cookies;
- possibility of notification when a dangerous letter is detected, update is completed.
The update is present both for the anti-virus database and for the application.
“Quick scan” - “checking the most critical components of the system for the presence of malicious objects” took 1:27:16 (one and a half hours)
When you exit the program through the tray icon, the following dialog appears:

perhaps convenient if you need to disable antivirus for a while.
From myself I want to say that the product turned out to be quite high-quality and the developers took into account many ways of its distribution, it is a bit strange that the project is positioned as purely National. The product distribution policy and support system are very attractive (toll-free telephone hotline 8-800 for Ukrainians, mail support, a form at the office, and the program sends usage statistics as desired.)
