Dr.Web for Windows

Comprehensive protection from existing threats

Dr.Web for Windows provides reliable protection from most existing threats. Its unsurpassed quality of curing and reliable self-protection capabilities leave no loophole for viruses and other malware to find their way into the protected environment. The built-in firewall and the office control help prevent viruses from exploiting the vulnerabilities of operating systems and applications and allow you to control the operation of installed programs.

Increased labour productivity

Deployment of Dr.Web for Windows provides a positive effect instantly. Because the product provides comprehensive protection, the inflow of spam is cut completely, resulting in a much more productive working environment — important messages no longer get lost in a hefty volume of spam e-mails. In addition, computers in the network are no longer at risk of getting infected, which eliminates downtimes due to virus attacks and subsequent necessary system restoration processes.

Upholding reputations

With Dr.Web for Windows standing guard, criminals can’t turn your workstations, embedded system clients, and terminal server clients into sources of viruses and spam that could get onto your customers' computers. Dr.Web for Windows helps you safeguard your reputation as a trustworthy partner.

Flexible licensing

Unlike many competitive solutions, Dr.Web for Windows enjoys the most flexible multi-optional licensing (see the Licensing tab). Doctor Web lets customers buy only the components they need; customers are not made to pay for features they will never use.

Centralized administration

The Control Center, which allows workstation protection to be centrally administered, is included under a Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite license. The Control Center is equally reliable in networks of any scale and structural complexity — from small workgroup networks to distributed intranets with tens of thousands of hosts. The Control Center also affords the centralized administration of anti-viruses for file servers and application servers, including terminal servers, under Windows and Novell NetWare, for Unix mail servers, Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus, Kerio, and also for Dr.Web for mobile devices running Windows Mobile.

Experience with large projects

Among Doctor Web’s customers are major national and international companies and banks, as well as Russia’s government and educational institutions and scientific research institutes. Many of these entities have tens of thousands of computers in their networks. Moreover, Russia’s highest government institutions entrust their information security to Doctor Web.

Unique engine features

• Scans archived files at any nesting level
• Reliable detection of packed objects (even if the compression format is unknown to Dr.Web), their detailed analysis aimed at exposing hidden threats
• Leader in detecting and neutralizing complex rootkits (Shadow.based (Confiсker), MaosBoot, Rustock.C, Sector)
• Intelligent memory scan technologies allow viruses to be blocked in the RAM before replicating themselves to the hard drive, making it less likely for malware to exploit the vulnerability of a third-party application or the operating system
• Dr.Web can detect and neutralize viruses that can be found only in RAM and do not exist as files on disks, e.g. Slammer or CodeRed

Detection of unknown threats

• FLY-CODE is a unique universal decompression technology enabling Dr.Web to unpack data that has been compressed with unknown packers
• The cutting-edge, non-signature scan technology Origins Tracing™ ensures the high probability that viruses unknown to Dr.Web will be detected
• The heuristic analyzer, whose analyses are based on criteria that is typical of various groups of malicious programs, detects most known threats

Protection components

Detection of all types of threats (Dr.Web Scanner)

• Quick and thorough scanning of RAM, boot sectors, hard drives, and removable data-storage devices
• Neutralizes viruses, Trojans, and other malware.
• Comprehensive databases to detect spyware, riskware, adware, hack tools, and jokers

Real-time protection (SpIDer Guard® file monitor)

• Real-time monitoring of the system’s health — interception of all calls to files located on local drives, floppy discs, CD/DVD/ Blue-ray disks, flash-drives, or smart cards
• File monitor is highly resistant to attempts by malicious programs to disrupt its operation

Anti-rootkit technology (Dr.Web Shield™)

• Reliable system protection from viruses featuring rootkit-technologies that allow viruses to hide their presence in a compromised system
• Neutralization of complex rootkits (Shadow.based (Confiсker), MaosBoot, Rustock.C, Sector)

Virus-free e-mail (SpIDer Mail®)

• On-the-fly virus scanning of e-mails over SMTP/POP3/NNTP/IMAP4 that doesn’t affect performance of mail clients and doesn’t cause receipt delays
• Individual processing rules for different types of malicious objects — viruses, riskware, adware, hack tools, paid dialers, and jokers
• An analysis of message contents and sending time allows the characteristics of malicious activities to be detected and prevents mail worms from carrying out mass mailings

Spam-free e-mail (Dr.Web Anti-spam)*

• Real-time filtering of incoming and outgoing e-mail
• The anti-spam doesn’t depend on a mail client and doesn’t cause receipt delaysThe anti-spam doesn’t require configuration and starts working as soon as the first message is received
• Different filtering technologies ensure the high probability of detecting spam, phishing, pharming, scamming, and bounce messages
• Anti-botnet – you won’t be disconnected from the Internet because your computer sends out spam
• Messages that have been filtered out are placed in a separate folder, so you can always verify that no false detection has occurred
• The standalone anti-spam analyzer module doesn’t require connection to an external server or access to a database, saving on traffic

Shield from Internet threats (SpIDer Gate™ HTTP monitor)*

• The SpIDer Gate™ module scans incoming and outgoing HTTP traffic in real time, intercepts all HTTP connections, performs data-filtering, blocks infected web pages in any browser, scans files in archives, and protects users from phishing sites and other dangerous web resources.
• SpIDer Gate operates independently from web browsers
• Filtering doesn’t affect overall system performance, surfing speed, or traffic
• No configuration is required in the default mode; Dr.Web SpIDer Gate starts scanning right after installation

Web-surfing control (office (parental) control)*

• Protection of children from exposure to objectionable content.
• Block of access to web-sites from the list divided into 10 subject groups (adult content, violence, weapons, drugs, gambling, etc.).
• Block of access to removable data storage devices, files, folders or network drives – an additional measure to protect data from deletion or unauthorized access.

Protection from network attacks (Dr.Web Firewall)

• Protects against unauthorized access from a network; prevents data leaks; blocks suspicious connections on package and application layers
• The application layer connection control manages the ability of applications and processes to access network resources and registers access attempts in the applications log
• Packet layer filtering allows connections to the Internet to be controlled, regardless of which applications are involved. The packet filter log stores information about packets sent over network interfaces

* only "Comprehensive protection"

…and:

• On-demand scans\individual PC scan schedules;
• Automatic notifications upon the detection of infected, incurable, or suspicious objects;
• Virus database updating reminders;
• Centralized control over all components from a single control panel;
• Transparent operation – detailed reports on the operation of each module.

Updating

Always up-to-date

• Updating over the Internet, whether automatically or according to a schedule, doesn’t require user interference. Updating can also be launched manually.
• Updating is very quick even if a slow Internet connection is used.
• Updating servers are always available.
• Updates can be retrieved from an HTTP server.
• In most cases, there is no need to reboot the system to complete updating; Dr.Web starts using the updated modules and latest virus definitions right away
• Updates are small (50-200KB).
• To save traffic the anti-virus can be set to update virus databases only However, enabling this option is not recommended. To counter the latest threats, Dr.Web undergoes constant refinement. New features are incorporated in updated modules of an anti-virus package and are downloaded from Doctor Web's server automatically during regular updating sessions.
• You can also reduce traffic by downloading updates as archived files A special data-compression algorithm used by Doctor Web allows reducing size of downloaded updates. Patch files are used to deliver minor additions and fixes for virus database or program modules. The special compression algorithm applied to such patches dramatically reduces the amount of transferred data.

Virus monitoring service

• The Doctor Web virus monitoring service collects samples of malicious programs all over the Internet to create antidotes and release updates as soon as analyses are completed — as often as several times per hour.
• As soon as an update is released, users can retrieve it from several servers located at various points of the globe.
• To avoid false positives an update is tested over a huge number of uninfected files before it is released.
• The intelligent system automatically adds entries for similar viruses into the database, ensuring the prompt neutralization of emerging threats.
