Is this an update for
Dr.Web Anti-virus for Windows?
It's the word "workstations" that confuses me a little

Is the update issued thru the regular updates or do I need to download an update manually?

Sorry for asking. I'm new to Dr.Web and recently (2008-03-13) purchased a license to test it on one of our computers.

regards,

yes, you will recieve the updates and via automatic update.

you are protected

all updates, program/signatures arrive via autoupdate, only new versions of the software will be needed to download and installed (ie. 4.33 > 4.44)

I do not trust these "first and only" claim. And any company making them usually go down a notch in my book.

 

Thx for the info C.S.J!
