-{ Quote: "
Doctor Web, Ltd., a Russian developer of IT-security solutions under the brand-name of Dr.Web, announces the release of a new version of Dr.Web Anti-virus for Windows — 4.44.

The main features are:

Technologies:
Dr.Web Shield™ — counteraction to rootkits
Origins Tracing™ — non-signature search of unknown viruses
Dr.Web Anti-virus — CURES computers from viruses
Efficient scanning speed
Updated anti-spam
Improved SpIDer Guard

Support of Windows Vista
We understand that all our users have been waiting for Dr.Web for Windows Vista compatibility news. Microsoft Corporation has introduced many security features in Windows Vista that are supposed to block malicious programs and to enhance the overall security of the system, but, much to our regret, these measures made it extremely difficult for third party IT-security developers (of anti-virus programs in particular) to efficiently work in the system and to protect it. Real security means no compromise, and Doctor Web, Ltd. took a difficult for a company decision — not to release the product until a real, and not declarative compatibility with Windows Vista is provided. Dr.Web for Windows version 4.44 now supports MS Windows Vista.
