Smadav is one of most popular free antivirus from Indonesia update in december, 5 2011. Taken from the site of this antivirus for refference :
Smadav 2011 Rev. 8.8:

(more accurate and interactive), Completion of the features that already
exist (scanning the registry, setting two new, one-Virus-By-User,
etc..)Smadav 2011 Rev. 8.7:
Addition of a new virus database 100, a new detection technique (FFD):
the total for the prevention of viruses from a USB stick, english
feature can be used in SmadAV Free, Changes in the structure of
settings, etc..SmadAV currently focus on four main functions as follows:
1) additional protection for your computer, 100% compatible with other antivirus!Most
of the antivirus can not be installed together with other anti-virus,
it is because the antivirus is designed for primary protection on your
computer. In
contrast to SmadAV, SmadAV is the type of antivirus are designed as an
additional protection, so 100% compatible and can run well although
there has been another antivirus on your computer, in this case SmadAV
serves as a second layer of defense. SmadAV
has its own way (behavior, heuristic, and whitelisting) in detecting
and cleaning viruses that will further enhance security on the computer.
Due to resource usage very small SmadAV, SmadAV will not add to the weight of your computer's performance in its use. So,
with a mix between SmadAV and antivirus protection that is installed on
your computer will further strengthen the defense of your computer from
virus infection.
2) Best USB Antivirus (Total Protection USB stick)USB stick is one of the largest media spread of the virus in Indonesia. SmadAV have special technology for the prevention of total virus that spreads via USB stick. SmadAV mission is 100% no longer infectious virus from the pendrive. SmadAV
have enough signatures viruses that infect the flash, and has a special
ability to detect new viruses in the flash, although not in the
database SmadAV. Not
only is prevention, SmadAV also able to clean a virus that infects and
restore files that are hidden viruses on your USB stick.
3) Best for offline use (no need to update too often)SmadAV very well used for computers that are rare or even not connected to the internet. SmadAV not need to do updates as often as any other antivirus that usually do updates per week and even per day. SmadAV usually do updates only once a month (monthly). SmadAV
not too dependent on the signature / virus database, but much depends
on the behavior detection techniques, heuristic, and whitelisting.
4) Cleaner and tools to clean the virusSmadAV also able to clean the virus that has infected your computer and fix the registry is modified by a virus. Other
anti-virus is usually not done cleaning the registry so the computer
has not returned to normal after cleaning the antivirus. Many supporting tools are included in SmadAV as a weapon for cleaning the virus. Note:
Not all types of viruses can be cleaned SmadAV, SmadAV is still not
able to clean the virus type or types of rootkits penginfeksi program
(eg: virus Ramnit, Sality, Alman, Virut, etc..) Because this strain has
blown most of your program files . Our
focus now is to thoroughly cleaning the virus types other than those
two types (eg: virus WormShortcut, Cervical, MSO, Brontok, etc..)
