Drweb Version 5

No it's not . However they're taking they're time much like F-Prot did not so long ago.

 

and FYI, drweb have never publically given dates or even promoted V5 publically.

Igor did mention October, but this was dug up from a perosonal interview for when he expects it, not a company statement or a promise to it's customers.

 

will it be a suite or a only Av? Any ideas? if it'll be a suite what features will it have?

 

there will be a suite.
there will also still be an AV only.

 

How much does DR WEB cost right now?

 

If you are migrating from another AV you get a discount. I paid only $20.55 for Dr. Web+Anti-Spam in January 2008.

 

Migration discount was a good deal, but I believe it is now valid only for business customers and specific AVs.
Per Dr Web:

 

No- not was- is.

I migrated from NOD32 and the list of qualified AVs is about 95% of the AV market, so the probability is that the migration discount is a good deal for most.

 

Perhaps, but with the caveats:

 

they changed it soon after i brought my license. when i done the migration home users where allowed to do it.

 

I know. I took advantage of the discount myself some years back...

 

That was a joke. I didn't know humour wasn't welcome here.

 

no one answered my question

 

Assuming you do not qualify for discount per previous posts:
Dr.Web anti-virus for Windows, 1 user\1 year 28.00 USD

Of course it depends upon what product you want.

AV only costs something like 28 $ and it is really cheap

 

Ya I know- then what's the problem? World-class protection for much less than many other AVs.

 

No problem at all. on the contrary it is the best you pay for . surprized and wondering why other companies charge more for less or same protection

 

They promote paranoia and they charge accordingly. Each one claims to offer excellent protection which is true in most cases. Therefore, if you pay $79.00 for one firm's product and pay another firm $29.00, the odds are you paid at least $50.00 too much for one of the AVs.

I have licenses for nine (9) AVs, and for the money, Dr. Web is as good as you will find on a cost/benefit basis. Never had malware invade with Dr. Web, or any other AV for that matter and I have used PCs since 1980.

 

I bought mine -a two year-license and i am not saying that it is bad but it is very heavy. I bought it because it was very light atg the moment but soon after that it became as heavy as an elephant which i do not like. is it a light AV in respect to browsing?

 

Most definately. I did not experience any slow downs.

 

well, seeing as it doesn't have an http scanner, there should be zero difference.

 

Are you using the one of my signature? then happy are you

 

do they have a free version?
this is the first i am hearing about this antivirus program
What is it all about?

It's Russian and has been developed since 1992.

I think the pros are in lightness and stability. Removal of active malware, ability to detect polymorphic viruses or rootkits/other complicated malware also get mentioned at times. They also have decent heuristic technology and packer support. Signature updates are released once per hour.

Cons are mainly in pure detection rate according to lab tests, old fashioned GUI, slow scanning speed and self protection.

.. And they do have the free "CureIt" utility(http://freedrweb.com)that is an on-demand scanner only, but has full cleaning abilities.
