RAV Engine

Cutting-edge technologies included in the RAV engine

The products included in the RAV AntiVirus family are based on the RAV Engine, now at version 8.7, that combines the amazing speed, the operational strength, the extensibility, the scalability and the robustness needed in the fight against viruses and other malicious software (malwares). The most important distinctive characteristics of the RAV Engine are described below.

The TPI (Total Platform Independent) technology
The same engine is used for detection and cleaning for each operating system RAV AntiVirus is installed on. Thus, the intelligibility, the unity and the easy update of our programs are logically ensured for all products in the RAV AntiVirus Family (RAV AntiVirus Desktop, RAV AntiVirus for Mail Servers, and RAV AntiVirus for File Servers and RAV AntiVirus MailFilter).

The IC (Integrity Checker) technology
One of the most appreciated qualities of the RAV AntiVirus engine consists in its incredible scanning speed, achieved due to the usage of a technology called integrity checker. When the files are scanned for the first time, the detection engine creates a database with the information gathered during the scanning process. When doing a second scan, only the new or changed files are scanned, increasing therefore the detection speed with more than 50%.

The MLES (Multi Layer Embedded Scanning) technology
The engine is promptly responding to any threat, scanning embedded objects on multiple layers, without affecting the speed of detection and without slowing down the machine on which it is installed.

The HMETH (heuristic method) technology
Using this technology for all electronic threats, the RAV engine can study the behavior of eventual malware (malicious software, like worms, Trojans and hoaxes) and propose different methods of handling it. Therefore, a virus can be detected even if its signature doesn’t exist in the database.

The CUP (Cumulative Update Plug-ins) technology
The cumulative update is another advantage of the RAV engine, being used to add to the main signatures database only the latest available signatures. This procedure results in extremely small files used for the update (10-15Kb), very little time for the download process (5-10 seconds at a 28,8 kb/s connection speed) and better management of the virus signatures.
