    It might be possible that they've just started receiving more samples because few russian ISPs and some ukrainian ISP started using the av-desk service. The amount of "av-desk workstations" is over 40000 according to statistics in their official av-desk site.

    the ISP service is slowly becoming a revolution, once again... drweb thinks outside the box.

    Dunno about their thinkings but surely creates more pressure on adding definitions/performing well detectionwise since we are now talking about big companies demanding security for their customers. Hopefully it benefits us too.

    i just checked them myself and they drweb detected nothing, can you confirm they are no longer detected, both fixed within such a short time, same day.

    its a shame big isp's such as bt dont give out av desk instead of norton.
    im sure customers would be alot happier that way since most customers want antivirus programs that just work and dont slow them down.

    Most ISP customers wouldn't know how to handle the FP that are frequent with Dr. Web. That's one reason they mostly give away mcafee or norton.

    From prior experience, I already know that you're incapable of discussing such things in a mature manner and will insist on taking it personally, but I was simply stating some facts.

    Less than 3 weeks ago, we had a very similar thread about Dr.Web update rates. Yes, they had a good day. That's good news to Dr.Web users. Now, it is enough. See this previous thread, which sounds a lot like the posts/posters in this thread:
