Dr.Web Background and Comparison
Dr.Web® for Windows solutions have long gained popularity with business and home users not only in Russia, but also in many countries of the world. Many of them appreciate a decent spider in the right corner of the screen, which makes them feel quiet and protected. Even most sophisticated viruses cannot pass through its nets.
A few can hardly think that this decent spider may conceal an unmatched technological power, which took years of painstaking work of leading specialists from Igor Daniloff Antivirus Labs. Reliability and security are the main two principles followed by the developers of the Dr.Web® antivirus products. Working in the antivirus company means being in a constant opposition to the global army of virus writers, many of them - talented who are perfectly aware of the antivirus programs operational principles and that's why they constantly try to devise new tricks to bypass the antivirus protection. Fully understanding that a small group of talented people will hardly cope with more and more increasing stream of viruses the author of Dr.Web® I.Daniloff decided to stake on the technology, create the universal detection and neutralization tools against all possible threats. That is how the modern Dr.Web® for Windows was born - a unique product, which conciliated respect of millions of users around the world.
