tried DW(Dr Web) about two years ago, and had some problems with it

whats the problem?

 

Just to provide some more feedback on Dr Web, it's definitely a well-written program. As others have said, it's ridiculously light - really one of the only AVs you don't notice. There were a couple issues I had with it, namely the GUI and scan speed, but it's low price and footprint make it worth anyone's time. Reading test sites and seeing Dr Web not coming in at the top 3 may deter some, but it's one of those programs you should try before condeming.

 

I don’t criticise DrWeb. In fact, at this moment, I am with. I cannot find better at the moment (Avira is not bad either), but it is true that I have some lag time and some long I/O with the HD.
Updating the GeForce driver, it takes more than 15 minutes on my computer (!). Maybe 2-3 minutes without antivirus, and checking over 250,000 files (!!) (It is a particular case that I met). I cannot explain this delay and the number of files scanned.
On the other hand, for regular and smooth upgrade, the interface and the effectiveness of interceptions, DrWeb, yes, I like it. But not the lightest on my setup.

 

what is the lightest avtivirus on your computer ?
avast ??

can you put for us a pic for the task manager of ur compute to see how much its take from the resours ?? plz
thanx

and if you have avg antimaleware plz tell us if its light on the computer ? i mean how much its take from the memorey , plz put for us a pic from the task manager

thanx

 

I think its already been stated that its nothing to do with memory.Dr web is definitely slower opening files on my computer than avast or quite a few other avs actually.I did have dr web to scan all files where avasts scan created/modified files default is not to.However setting avast to scan all files ,still sees avast faster for me.Im sure its faster for many ,but i wouldnt say its faster for everyone.

offtopic about dr web:

Ok well, I have had this problem before with dr web now it's at it again, I would download it and once everything was done with that I would go to the taskbar and right click it to set dr web at "always show" since I like seeing only my security products at all times in my task bar, but everytime I restart my computer in the moring dr web would be at "hide when inactive" ALL the time which haunts me cause like I said this has happened to me before, this has to be a bug and it can't just be my computer becuase since the last time I used dr web I have been through a couple of reformats etc.

So anyone help me please because this was enough for me to uninstall dr web in the first place, thanks.

 

it is not a bug, its drwebs preference.

i tried to get them to change their mind, but failed.

but now, things have changed for myself... and i dont even show the icon at all now

 

how did you manage Larry?

 

ESS was at 100% cpu and hung up my system for 60 seconds dozens of times. Dr. Web has never hung up my system-just shakes, rattles, and rolls a bit when the update baloon does it's thing.

 

ESS did the same on my system, until I unchecked "Advanced Heuristics" in realtime protection. It's not on by default, but maybe you "messed" with it, like I did?!


Cheers

 

I tried all combinations/permutations. On my system it caused some problems unlike Dr. Web.

 

Funny how some AV's just won't behave on certain systems
But heck, if The Doctor is on your system, you're well protected


Cheers

 

by the sounds of it, he un-installed mcafee right before installing drweb.

the big 2 don't have a good un-install usually, this is why they usually have removal tools.

however,

if it was a confliction of some kind, drweb should still know about it.

but they will need as much info as possible, and preferably your logs too.

 

I think, you may be mixing my problem up with somebody else?
Edit: Oh damn, can't post no more today.
