    Considering that the vulnerability is with the engine itself, Dr.Web, Virus Chaser and anything else that uses Dr.Web engine is vulnerable.

    But older versions of Dr.Web are unaffected.

    Bad thing is that even though their support team is very nice, I've only gotten any sample added to their database once. The other times, I had to send the samples through Virus Chaser to get them added to the database.

    Still, I'm not jumping the gun. I have full faith that Dr.Web 5.0 will be a decent product.

    By Babelfish website translation it states what to make of it. Pavel Ershov responds that it already is fixed. No other explanation is given as to how. Must of been some internal downloadable scripting tweak eh?...o_O :eek: ;)

    Hello everyone,

    Yes the problem has been solved without the engine update - fortunately, our technology allows us to do it by issuing a vdb add-on. A more fundamental research on the vulnerabiulity is been conducted in our Lab. We shall inform you as soon as we have the final solution.
    But Dr.Web is safe again since yesterday afternoon.

    You shouldn't need to do any of this, they corrected the problem via a DrWEB update...:)
