a few questions about drweb

hello,
ok first off when i went to the drweb site and looked at the price i was so stunned £14 for one year license that is really cheap.

is sipder gate in the lastest realased version of drweb?
or is it still in beta?
the version that i had installed on my windows ME pc didnt have the option to install spider gate so i wondered if it was still in beta or just not compatible with windows ME

Don't overlook the 50% off migration discount!

 

SpiderGate, Dr Web's HTTP scanner, is still in beta. See (here)

 

I purchased a migration discount in Feb. still haven't activated it yet though.

 

Prudent move (in the case that the Dr. should someday repeal this offer).
+/- $14.56 (7.50 GBP) is hard to beat.

 

i have nothing to migrate from lol.
kis6.0 will stay on this pc and drweb could have a place on the pc im building for myself soon.
this pc will be the family pc and my pc will be just for me bulti by me

of course you have something to migrate from, any purchased licence, i.e kaspersky.

they just need proof of purchase etc.

 

but doesnt that mean i can no longer use kaspersky?
lodore

 

no lodore, i dont think so.

dr.web dont cancel other av's licences, they just need to know your going to them from another AV.

this is what ive always thought anyway

but dont quote me on it lodore, you should check 100% before deciding to do anything.

 

so thats probaly means i can migrate the kaspersky license to dr web to get 50percent off and migrate acronis true image for shadow protect desktop for 50percent off that.
dont worry chris i wont quote you on it i can always email drweb

just ask at the ticket support service, ive had replys as quick as 2 mins on there.

post it here Lodore: http://support.drweb.com/new/orders/

 

thanks chris.
can you try and find the old thread that showed how to edit the drweb32.ini file to get the spider icon to show a popup when a threat is found?, also it showed the name of the threat and what it did with it.
ok i asked the question
lodore

 

Hi lodore,
I migrated to Dr Web fron Kaspersky, just should proof of purchase.You will receive 50% discount, no problem.
Badcompany.

 

can you still use the kaspersky license?
lodore

 

if you want it to popup in the centre of screen with options > set your spiderguard settings to REPORT.

if you want it all to do it automatically, set your preferences in spiderguard such as DELETE (viruses) / MOVE (suspicious) etc etc.

and if you want little notification bubbles to come up when it does it automatically, right click the spider > control > notifications and tick those 3 boxes at the top.

 

thanks i thought you had to edit the .ini file to get those little bubbles.
the beta version had some problems on windows ME so im gonna install a release build.
lodore

 

Yes no problem.
BC.

 

good thanks.
ok heres a a random dr web question why is there no drweb entrie at wikopedia?
surely someone must of wrote about it.

hmm i was seeing what other antivirus companies where noted on wikiopedia since dr web wasnt.
somone wrote about f-secure
quote "
F-Secure is historically related to FRISK Software International, a company based in Iceland, which publishes F-Prot antivirus. The original F-Prot conglomerate of Icelandic, Finnish and American computer antivirus researchers fell apart during the early 1990s and the resulting companies divided the global market. For a while, Data Fellows's product was marketed as "F-Prot Professional". As of 2006, the macro-virus detection capabilities of Frisk's F-Prot scan engine are still present in F-Secure products"
i didnt know f-secure used to have there product called f-prot professinal and still uses f-prot macro detection engine

ok back to my main topic drweb.
i couldnt find the notifications for drweb spider guard
this screenshots shows the right click menu of the spider guard on windows ME.
the second screenshots shows me putting a tick in the notifications box for spidermail. so i can find notifications for spider mail but not spider guard.
lodore

 

does this screen look familar?

see notifications at the top, thats what you need for notifications of automatic removal (if you choose the settings for it to do it automatically in spiderguard>Settings)

nope it doesnt look famlier
as it states "dr web for windows nt/2000/xp
on windows ME it doesnt seem to have that option.
it doesnt even have a manual load or unload button it just has a check box for load at startup on windows ME i will show you some screenies of the guard in windows ME.
the nt/2000/xp version looks alot better than the version for windows 98/ME
maybe the interface in windows ME put me off in the past.
can you show me a screenshot of the spider mail options on your version to compare to the windows 98/ME version?
lodore

 

spidermail settings are exactly the same,

have a look in control panel, for spiderguard. (it might be something in there on ME)

if its there, that will be it, i cant check as i dont dare use windows ME.

 

i dont blame you i hate windows ME.
dont worry i will test dr web on windows 2k pro sometime this week hopefully.
that will mean i wont have the mouse lagg thta plagues windows 98/ME
