Doctor Web is the Russian developer of Dr.Web anti-virus software. We have been developing our products since 1992. The company is a key player on the Russian market for software that meets the fundamental need of any business — information security. Doctor Web is one of the few anti-virus vendors in the world to have its own technologies to detect and cure malware. Our anti-virus protection system allows the information systems of our customers to be protected from any threats, even those still unknown. Doctor Web was the first company in Russia to offer an anti-virus as a service and, to this day, is still the undisputed Russian market leader in Internet security services for service providers. Doctor Web has received state certificates and awards; our satisfied customers spanning the globe are clear evidence of the high quality of the products created by our talented Russian programmers.

Comments: 1About the Dr.Web virus library and the importance of anti-virus updates
Interesting, but you bring up a question. As far as using both signature-based protection and non-signature protection, do I need to install Dr.Web KATANA if I'm already using the Dr.Web Premium subscription-based product? I was under the impression that the Dr.Web Premium subscription already included the features of KATANA.
Comments: 1Also, I have the Dr.Web Link Checker installed in my browser. Is this necessary if I already have the Dr.Web Premium subscription?
It's a bit confusing. I believe Dr.Web is the best, but I want to know if I'm using packages correctly. Do I need to install more than one package, or does the Dr.Web Premium subscription cover me?
If anyone has an answer that would be great.
Thanks. [Jovonne]

Comments: 1Free anti-viruses: Good or bad?
"If you don't have an aunt, you won't lose her ... Think for yourself, decide for yourself whether to have or not to have."
Comments: 1So you yourself and only you have to decide (not aunt ...) whether to have virus protection or visibility. And if there is something to lose, then the choice is obvious. [GREEN]

2.REAL-TIME ALERTS - Get alert if kids try to access bad sites & apps, leave safe area & more
3.YOUTUBE SEARCH HISTORY - Discover your kids’ interests by viewing their YouTube searches
4.SCREEN TIME SCHEDULING - Set up exact time periods when screen time should be limited by device

Comments: 3On the frontline: Doctor Web’s security researchers at work
I think my Dr Web, has been hitting the bottle and was totally drunk. I was being my idiotic self and running my HP server as I have been doing for many years with a Xfce interface GUI and Dr web / Doctor Web, on BitTorrent Pirate Bay. Illegal? not legal? not caring?
Comments: 7A feature film popped onto my server and I could see this feature film was not a feature film and I could see that I was feeding it to others from my server the feature film was not an MP4 it was a .exe believing nobody could possibly be stupid enough to click on a .exe thinking it was a feature film MP4 i allowed it to linger.
So i waited for Doctor Web, to pop up a message and nothing. So i figured oh well Doctor Web, is drunk and I decided to manually delete the file so i paused it and Doctor web popped up telling me it was malware.
Now was Doctor Web drunk? or a bit punched around punch-drunk on that day who knows?
The moral of the story is you have to use common sense and not do silly things believing that a virus scanner can do everything for you because you have got to work together.
There is no perfect security and silly people like me who run a server with a Xfce, interface GUI exist all over the world in their millions.
Now if my Doctor Web can stay off of the alcohol? to allow me to continue for another 5 years or so running my Xfce GUI like an idiot that would be great. Now normally Dr Web, stops them from being uploaded long before they get to me. And this primitive .exe was such an old one.
Let us try to work together. [Philip]
