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.
