What is Dr.Web?

Dr.Web utilizes various technologies to safeguard computers from harmful software, including:

A signature-based scanner that detects known malware by its distinct code,
A heuristics engine that uncovers unknown malware through behavior analysis,
A firewall aimed at blocking network-related attacks,
A spam filter that stops unwanted emails from entering the inbox,
Parental controls that restrict children's online access,
And a file shredder that guarantees thorough file deletion.

Renowned for its capability to detect and eliminate malware effectively, Dr.Web has garnered multiple awards from independent testing organizations, including the notable VB100% certification from Virus Bulletin. Despite its accolades, it has been critiqued for its considerable use of system resources and a user interface that some may find less intuitive.

Ultimately, Dr.Web is recognized as a reliable and powerful antivirus solution, making it a compelling choice for individuals in need of strong malware protection. However, prospective users should keep in mind the potential impact on system performance and the learning curve associated with its interface. Furthermore, those seeking a wide range of security features may find Dr.Web's offerings particularly beneficial when considering their options. Additionally, the software's reputation for reliability may provide users with peace of mind in an increasingly digital world.

    Best antivirus

    Summary

    My rating when comparing its free and paid version compare to Avast and others.
    -Free version 8.5/10
    -Paid version 9/10.
    The app does what it says and there's no annoying ads. It's an excellent app to try out and thank Dr.Web.

    Positive

    1. Has free version and paid (Cheaper than others)
    2. The app works well, transparent in data collection unlike other utilities.
    3. Own by Russian, you're sure of real-time protection unlike spying western apps.
    4. File system protection: Scans files, applications, and removable media for threats
    5. Anti-virus: Protects against viruses, Trojans, worms, rootkits, and spyware
    6. Anti-phishing: Blocks attempts to monitor user activity and display ads
    7. Parental control: Controls access to devices, files, and the internet for different users
    8. Firewall: Protects against network threats
    9. Exploit prevention: Prevents attempts to exploit vulnerabilities
    10. Ransomware protection: Unlocks devices compromised by ransomware

    Final take: I've try big names like Avast, Kaspersky and others but Dr web stands out. Avast claim free version but after scanning when you try to neutralise the threats, you're asking to pay or upgrade which is so annoying. Kaspersky only works in windows.
    Dr.web my first attempt of scanning detected hidden virus that has been popping up ads, and white screen notification. It neutralise it and my device is totally safe now. Thanks for their modern technology.

    Negative

    1. It's not popular like avast
    2. Many western companies sees Russian & Chinese softwares as a threat. E.g. Deepseek AI.
    3. Some of the notable features are locked which is common but with a cheaper price to unlock
    4. No switch to turn off unless you clear apps in floating screen.
