How to use AVZ? How to use the AVZ antivirus utility?

Soon on the planet there will not be a single user who would not have heard about the free antivirus utility for systems based on the Windows operating system - AVZ. Thanks to the Russian developer Oleg Zaitsev, you can solve problems with the computer yourself, which are caused by viruses and Trojans. It remains only to understand how to use AVZ, because this is a powerful tool for changing system settings, and incorrect user actions can damage the system even more.

Preparation for work

The AVZ program is a utility for restoring Windows systems and troubleshooting the system that resulted from the activity of malware. Before using AVZ, you need to run a stand-alone anti-virus application, for example, Dr.Web CureIt !, which will remove all viruses and other pests in the system. And the AVZ program will fix all the violations in the system and delete the files that were created by the virus. In other words, the utility performs the final cleaning of the system after virus removal. Now you can go to training on specific examples of how to use AVZ 4. 43 version as the most stable in this will help. The AVZ program should be run only on behalf of the administrator, otherwise all actions in the system will be in vain.

Search for spies and Trojan horses

First we will talk about how to use the AVZ antivirus utility to eliminate malicious software that did not see a one-time antivirus. After launching the program, the main menu with the search area opens, where you need to check all the hard disks that are installed in the system. The field on the right offers to choose the method of treatment for the detected malware. In the first four paragraphs, you can safely install the deletion, but in the other two - only the report, since these categories include all the modified programs, for example, hacked games or unlicensed products. It's not worth deleting them, it's easier to eliminate incomprehensible elements when viewing the report. The "File types" and "Search parameters" tabs allow you to set additional parameters for detecting spyware, but for the learning how to use AVZ, it will be sufficient to set the default settings. Pressing the "Start" button will start the virus elimination process, after the scan is complete, a detailed report will be displayed at the bottom of the window about the work done and possible problems with the modified programs.

Restore the launch of programs

It is because of the impossibility of launching programs that most users rashly uninstall Windows from scratch, losing all the settings and sometimes important files, forgetting to save them first. Having figured out how to use the AVZ program to restore the launch of programs, the user no longer has to install a new system.

Strangely enough, but AVZ does not start either? Then your way is "Start" - "Control Panel".

• In the upper right corner of the "View" menu, you must set "Large icons".
• In the list that appears on the page, select "Folder Options".
• After selecting the "View" tab, uncheck the box "Hide extensions for registered file types" and click "OK".
• Go to the folder with the AVZ program, change the extension (three letters to the right of the point) to the file being launched: "avz.exe" -> "avz.pif".

Now, the AVZ utility itself will run without problems. How to use the start with administrator rights, the user must already know. But just in case: click the AVZ shortcut with the right mouse button and select "Run as administrator" in the context menu . In the program window, click "File" and select "System Restore". Set the check marks on the items: 1, 5, 6, 9, 11 and perform the operations by pressing the button of the same name.

Do not open social networks

You need to go back to the "System Restore" menu of the AVZ 4 utility. How to use the menu has already been sorted out: you just need to check the checkboxes correctly. To restore access to social networks, you need to select items 2, 3, 4, 13. If you do not open all the sites, then you need to select 14 points. Immediately the question arises: "Why can not you just put all the checkmarks on and in one fell swoop eliminate all the problems?" In the treatment of a disease, a person does not heal all other healthy organs with other medicines. So in Windows: do not repair something that is already working, otherwise you can only hurt. There is a desire to cure everything in one fell swoop - on health, only experts do not recommend ticking on points 15, 18, 19, 20 and 21, as they edit the global network settings in Windows and can in the hands of a beginner destroy the entire system in one second.

Cleaning the system of garbage

The AVZ utility helps not only in eliminating viruses, but also in correcting errors in the system and cleaning it from unnecessary files. Similar services are offered by the popular cleaner in the network - the CCleaner program.

Understand how to use AVZ to clean the system, it will not be difficult. "File" - "Wizard for troubleshooting". The problem category is "Cleaning the system", the danger is "All problems". Press the "start" button. In the window that appears, a list of recommendations will be displayed, which will lead to the release of space on the computer by deleting unnecessary files. Basically, to free up space on your hard drive, you just need to clear the "Temp" folder and the cache of all browsers. The rest is better not to touch, since there is garbage, without which Windows can not fully work.

Specialists in computer security launch the "Search and troubleshoot problems" wizard by setting the category "System problems". "The degree of danger" should always be set at the level of "All problems". In the list that appears, you will see a list of loopholes in the system through which you can get infected with viruses. Obligatory to correcting problems with the allowed automatic launch of programs from removable media and optical drives. On the other points it is worthwhile to study additional instructions.

1. Before running the AVZ program, you must close all unnecessary windows, including browsers. By pressing the "Start" button, do not perform any actions on the computer until the utility finishes running. Even when you move the mouse, a process occurs in the system that can interfere with the qualitative search for viruses in the system.
