cool avatar by the way lol

 

thanks.C.S.J.

 

no problem, its nice to see people at least giving the doctor a try

 

C.S.J when dr web 5.0 is out or at least the beta is out make sure you post screen shots of it at wilders.
i would like to see them.
ive just been reading the funny dr web myths on the dr web home page.

lol will do,

and yes, ive read those myths, it was a good read i must say.

 

also what version number is the beat discussed it this thread?
is it drweb-433-win-en.exe under win on the beta file area?
i might try it on my old pc.
i haven't done any testing for a while.
well i haven't done testing since i got kis6.0 lol
lodore

 

if you dont want to fill out the registration first.

just ftp://beta.drweb.com and download your language version,

engine should be 4.33.44

you must note though, there are many FP's in this beta due to how the beta has been put together, as stated in this thread if you read it fully.


* not going back into a testing phase are you lodore *laughs*

 

i registered for the beta months ago so i could test it on my old pc.
since im only testing it on my old pc fp's dont reallt matter but thanks for warning me.

Hi,
I have same problem with this beta, my system lags randomly. And high CPU usage doesn't belong to "System Idle Process", it belongs "System" process.

 

the problem is your machine.

or if its not agreeing with your machine, maybe something else you have installed... simple, take it out

 

Be careful of your advice. Seeing as how it didn't happen with the non-beta version, and the commonality between both our problems, your advise to "take it out" would be to uninstall Dr Web.

 

yep, if he is having problems on is machine with the beta, he should take it out (uninstall)

 

What does kind of bother me a little is that Dr Web seems to be more focused on releasing products with new features (see current beta) and less concerned with fixing problems that are in the gold product. For instance, the memory issue, which I have discribed earlier in this thread, still exists in the beta, and have even gotten worse. Why is that?

 

lets hope its not turning in to spysweeper 5.0
since 3.0-4.5 was great but 5.0 was crap.
lodore

 

nah, im sure dr.web 5 will be great...

but i think there is another 4.xx release before even that,

i agree spysweeper is now poor, buggy and sooooo slow.

 

its a shame my dad renewed spysweeper since its so crap now
i was ready to uninstall and be rid of that crap and even downloaded the uninstall tool ready for when it ran out.
but nooooooo my dad had to renew it since he says he likes it. he also said what have i got instead and before i could say superantipyware he renewed spysweeper.
anyway back to the main topic,
i think drweb 5.0 will be great with its full http scanning.
lodore

 

anyway, to bring this back on topic.... i thought id test this beta with a dodgy website i know,

here is the results.

i know this doesnt show the origin at work, but it still shows the beta is still working in detection, also .. this is the first rootkit ive ever had, was pleased to see it detect such a thing actually.

with vista out next month, its coming quick and there has still been no betas for vista release, i hope they have a version to release for when everyone upgrades to the new windows, this is one of my worries, along with x64 support too.

 

hmm did you just scan the file after it downloaded?
because shouldnt it off been detected by the realtime scanner rather than having to do an on demand scan.
also have you got all the friends dvd's?
if you have i might have to pm you about it.
lodore

 

yeah ive had all the friends dvds for years, i bought each series when it was released, kind of a fan.

they are archives, and i dont scan for those in real-time as big archives can take ages scanning, which is not what you want when your surfing, plus its not really needed, if i try to open the archive, it deletes it automatically anyway.

 

ok so how big where the archives?
and how big archives do you scan in real time?
with kis6.0 i scan max 8mb archives in real time.
lodore

 

it scans archives no matter how big they are if you set it to scan to archive scanning for real-time, i think.

it can get slow if you download a .rar file at 500mb, so i just untick archive scanning for real-time and keep it on for ondemand.

just to show it with it ticked and enabled, real-time works a treat with archive scanning, but its just my preference to untick it for the reason given above.

shame it doesnt have an option to scan archives of no bigger than so e.g. 8mb like kav and kis does.
its better than nod32 in that way because nod32 2.7 wont even scan archives in realtime due to the slowdown.
maybe in 3.0
lodore

 

at least it gives you the option to turn it on or off, users preference.

anyway, im off to bed, knackered.

 

Or, exclude some huge archived files out from scanning.

Firefighter!
