    very lazy system indeed.. this is a dead end story.
    I guess over short or long this scanner will have no future except they would recode or improve the whole thing and hiring people to speed up the whole process.

    On further reflection, I'd also tend to agree, therefore name removed. For future reference, how about we not go about personalizing every less than stellar experience that we may suffer? At times we lose sight of the exceptional service that these same individuals provide on a daily basis and in my personal experience, there are language nuances that are occasionally lost in these email exchanges.

    That may or may not be germane here, but that really doesn't matter. We're dealing with an inexpensive program and if there are fundamental issues with how DrWeb conducts their affairs, the market will come to grips with that in time. The consumer market can be a harsh taskmaster as all too many entrepreneurs have learned and will continue to learn.

    Meanwhile, the standard advice applies as always - purchase and use based on current performance, not future promise.

    nothing wrong with the current version at all, but its lacking features.

    mainly a proper quarentine, no restore features at all, which quite frankly means sending anything there is useless, if you cant restore it if its an FP etc.

    not at all, just frustrated with their lack of information, lack of speed for program upgrades, Russian ignorance, and just plain -C mentality.

    edit: also, ive never been one to jump on the bandwagon, especially not with drweb.

    I am always of the school to believe nothing what I hear and half what I see. Especially when they start talking about future plans. My main concern is that what they have now works.

    No, I don't know who "They" are either but they seem to always be saying something.

    I gave Dr. Web a good test, but went back to Avira. Dr. Web is primitive (lacks advanced features) and the company likely is short of capital for proper R&D. That is why it takes so long to get out a new version-they don't have the money plain and simple. It is not about quality control- if they had the capital they could control quality and get new versions out in a timely manner.

    My view is that good Dr. has been bettered by other vendors. Waiting for improvements is like waiting for Godot- (never came).

    this is not true, they have more than enough money and resources to improve.

    Boris himself said this, and promised improvements.

    im still yet to see them.

    so, could this be around the corner?

    who knows.....

    I guess you are going to wait for the alleged improvements (but you have yet to see them). Me, I don't have the time.

    well, there are tons of improvements with V5.

    but the only feature i NEED that is not in 4.44, is a proper quarentine with restore.

    and if my quoted text is true, this should arrive BEFORE v5 in a unified control centre.

    yep, they do not like.....

    1. giving info about V5
    2. giving possible beta release timeframe
    3. questions related to V5

    i wish they would!

    whats the big secret, they should be telling their customers.

    Surely they think about their customers as spies from competitors trying to steal info about upcoming technology, especially if you are not located in Russia :ninja: (like you all here, users of the Dr.)

    You spies! :D
