Description: | Dr.Web for Windows provides reliable and highly efficient protection of your system and data
regardless what type of the Microsoft operating system is installed on your computer. The Dr.Web
for Windows components allow in a real time mode to detect malicious programs from any external
sources.
Dr.Web protects file and mail servers, separate workstations, corporate networks and Internet
gateways worldwide. Large national Telcompanies choose Dr.Web for mail servers for its
high-performance, stable operation and irreproachable detection of viruses combined with extremely
low false detection rate. Dr.Web defends file servers of large businesses and data storages of
universities and research institutes. Each and every piece of network receives protection by
Dr.Web.
Created in the early 90s in Russia by Igor Daniloff, Dr.Web has always reflected its author
s basic philosophy: security means no compromise. Many innovations marked by Dr.Web has long
become a standard for the AV industry, for example, cross-platform structure. Having appeared as the
response to the growing threat of polymorphic viruses, Dr.Web Anti-virus still remains in the lead,
always showing 100 results in the Virus Bulletin comparative reviews for this type of the most
complicated viruses.
The other feature that has always distinguished the Dr.Web anti-virus from its competitors is
its low memory/resource usage, so that this AV remains unnoticeable to a user. This low footprint
TOGETHER with its high detection abilities have attracted millions of users around the world to
Dr.Web.
Dr.Web for Windows main components:
The Dr.Web scanner with graphical interface - It scans the selected by a user objects on
drives by request, detects and neutralizes viruses in memory, checks autorun files and processes.
On-access monitor SpIDer Guard - It intercepts in a real time mode all accesses to
files, detects and blocks suspicious behaviour of programs.
SpIDer Mail resident mail filter - Assures safe work with e-mail messages scanning
POP3/SMTP/IMAP/NNTP protocols. Provides a top-level security for handling both Inbound and Outbound
e-mail.
The Dr.Web command line scanner - Scans selected objects on drives by request, detects and
neutralizes viruses in memory, checks autorun files and processes.
The automatic updating utility - Downloads updates of the virus bases and program modules,
and also conducts a registration procedure and delivers the license or the demo key files.
The Scheduler - Schedules automations for the anti-virus protection, for example, virus
bases updates, scanning of computer drives, scanning of autorun files.
Multilevel protection of your computer by Dr.Web for Windows:
Any files potentially dangerous for a system are scanned by the SpIDer Guard resident
monitor in a real time mode immediately after they come to your computer. Any file, whether it is
written from an external carrier diskette, CD-ROM, Flash-disk, smart card and so on , or a file
downloaded from another computer from the network, or a file attached to a mail message - they all
will be perceived by a SpIDer Guard s watchful eye and come to a disk only after they receive a
green light from this impartial guard.
Any mail message sent to your e-mail address before it comes to your mail box on the local
disk will be checked by the SpIDer Mail mail filter, and if nothing dangerous is found, it will be
passed through. Even if the virus is hidden in the archived file, as many mail worms do now, the
Dr.Web Anti-virus engine will certainly find it inside. Even the crafty trick of a password
protected archive with a virus from the latest arsenal of virus writers will not pose an obstacle
for the Dr.Web anti-virus. Besides, SpIDer Mail scan prevents distribution of viruses from the
infected computer even if this variety of virus is not included into the virus base.
Dr.Web for Windows can also detect and neutralize the viruses existing only in the main
computer memory and which are never met in the form of files. These are notorious CodeRed and
Slammer, which have overflown the world with the epidemics and caused multibillion damages.
Finally, Dr.Web for Windows allows you, in the overwhelming majority of cases, not only to
cure the infected files, but also to remove the viral traces from different elements of the system,
regardless their sophisticated masquerading tricks. All these actions can be performed by the Dr.Web
anti-virus engine itself, without help of any additional utilities, which must be first downloaded
from the Internet and only then applied.
