About the Dr.Web virus library and the importance of anti-virus updates

@Jovonne, Dr. Web Security Space does contain KATANA. You dont need to install Link Checker as Dr. Web has SpIDer Gate which takes care of all of them :) [Nabeel Mansoor]

The Anti-virus Times sums up the old year and congratulates users on the new one!

Thanks for Company Dr.Web for it's great product and protecting so many users and companies. 2021 was a long year and many fights mostly against ransomwares, but Dr.Web protect all users in no time! Hapoy new year to all Dr.Web employees! Cheers! [Dr.Sandro]

About 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.

Also, 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]

Free 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."

So 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]

Pre-release status: What to expect from Windows 11

"Do not hurry to upgrade to Windows 11. Instead, you might want to wait a while. You always have the opportunity to install a new OS version after it is no longer "raw" ...

No need to rush ... [GREEN]

Why should I restart my computer after I install updates?

You can just restart your pc, after the work day it's over and won't use your pc, for the rest of the evening/day. [Shadowna]

25.06

Why should I restart my computer after I install updates?

I agree that you should always restart your PC after important update, but still, it can be annoying because many employees in company cannot do it immediately after program asks for restart and in most cases they do not know why it asks for restart and they call system administrator immediately. :) [Dr.Sandro]

How to configure Dr.Web Parental Control on a computer

I'm using Dr.Web Parental control every day and I can say it's amazing. Especially for blocking access for folders and read-only. What I would like to see in a new version is:
1.CHILD LOCATOR - See where your kids go on a map & set a safe area for them to stay in
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
5.DarkWeb monitoring
6.VPN
7.FileVault disk encryption [Dr.Sandro]
