Dr.Web 9.0 for Windows—the rapid response anti-virus

I'm out of the thread now. I don't even know whats going on.

 

I just explained the situation. Why did you include the discussed option. I do not understand that it is not clear from my explanation.If one user joked about the backdoor against Putin, I just supported his humor.Company Doctor Web honestly performs Russian laws. It does not force anyone to use the new feature.

 

SergM....I would like to buy your product.....do you have special pricing for "WildersSecurity' members.....thanks

 

No, sorry.

He is trying to say that it isnt vital for Dr Web protection, so a user can safely disable this feature. (He doesnt work for Dr Web)


And Sir, you are really annoying, but I will stop here ...

 

i have always liked dr web but im on the side of not using it now. i am not a pirate nor do i condone it in fact i report lic keys and "fixes" to companies when i see them (ask joe from webroot) very often so hopefully they can block those stolen keys. but i refuse to support this type of additions in my software only because if i do then what comes next? if people support this type of thing then maybe they add more etc and eventually the software monitors everything we do (not that there are not people doing that mostly now). so i will not be renewing my lic's optional or not it makes me wonder what else may or may not be included in the backround. and you are welcome to call me paranoid i dont mind.

 

First he came off and answered my question as if he was working for Dr.Web also he lives where the company is from so how was it supposed to be taken? I ask the important questions, not my fault you will roll over and take all without questioning it. You may find me annoying, but maybe you are naive to me.

 

I wonder if all the fancy sounding stuff actually works and how good it is.

 

You are may to try it.

 

Will we see Kaspersky follow these new laws?

 

I don't know about Kaspersky.

 

Does Dr.Web participate in independent tests?

 

If you mean bigger testing orgs like AV-Test, and/or AV-C, then No they don't

 

I somehow doubt that Russia has a law that requires antivirus software to stop it's users to access pirated material. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

 

It would give them more credit if they participated.

 

Okay. Again. No "Stop users." Just a warning. Next button is "Do you want to continue watching?" In reality, this feature is not working. No requests from copyright holders now. Actually by default setting this featur is OFF.

 

Nice feature then, esp. for the user which might have bought it just by believing that the marketed new features do actually really work.

They used to many years ago. But they have listed current certificates on their site (although just certificates from FSB): http://company.drweb.com/licenses_and_certificates/?lng=en

 

Thanks, I didn't know.

That's cool to have FSB certified AV.
Then why don't they get certs from CIA?

 

I will clarify: not working at the this moment. Because:

 

hi

Certainly in the top five of antivirus, after Bitdefender and Kaspersky; but unfortunately underrated...for various reasons...

The FSB certification, as far as i know, has been obtained after a long process which included source code analysis of the source code at different time, and at Dr Web office.
Even if the desktop version is not the FSB one, i guess that the backdoor must be find somewhere else...maybe in PRISM...

Dr Web do not participate to some antivirus tests mostly because they do not approve static detection tests, more about Dr Web and AV-Comparatives

The antipiracy is quite funny, if we consider the impact of cybercrime in Russia, one of the leader with China in the piracy syndrome

But for my concern, there is more to be afraid of cloud antivirus...who often know much more about their users.

I find it funny, because piracy can lead to sales. I used to pirate software, I would use it a little while and then buy the real thing because I liked it. I am sure many are the same, will download music for example but then buy the music legitimately through I-tunes later because its more convenient for them. I kinda find it funny though how Dr.Web is actively looking for content producers to join their anti-piracy brigade.. that's kinda really weird.

 

Yes I agree, it's their choice if they want to join or not. Maybe next year

 

All I will say about this "hot" new feature is that it doesn't belong in an AV or similar product at all, and I have not "pirated" anyone or anything since around 2000 when Kazaa was popular.

 

That's a bit pointless feature if it's used by a vendor who's market share is rather small...

 

With everything becoming suites these days, why not? Now parents can (somewhat) prevent their children from committing crime (along with snipped as per TOS).
