"The idea behind SVV is to check important Windows System components, which
are usually altered by various stealth malware, in order to ensure system
integrity and to discovery potential system compromise.

SVV 1.0 implements only code virginity verification which is the first step
in SVV implementation and its task is to ensure the integrity of the code
sections of in-memory mapped kernel and usermode modules (that is kernel
drivers and usermode DLLs)."

It's a commandline tool. Has some intelligence instead of merely
enumerating all entries, it tries to guess which modifications are
dangerous and which are done by legimate security programs.

Only for advanced users.
 

Thought I'd mention something else security related here. It looks
like KAV version 3.5 is unavailable for purchase now. But a trial
version is available from ftp sac. It lacks a updating capability.
I guess some here might classify it as abandonware.

I created a updater for it. The d/l and link to the sac ftp site are
are up at my web site.

Insofar as the older scan engine capability, here's what Kaspersky
Labs have to say:

which suggests that 3.5 won't have full capability to handle some
malware well on infected machines. I do wonder though if the use
of Safe Mode for scanning infected machines takes care of the
issue. I don't think (based on my tests and experience) that detection
is otherwise any different from later versions.

I do urge users to get their hands on this powerful antivirus scanner.
IMO, 3.5 was/is the best version of all.
