dr web

I'm using Dr.WEB AV for nearly 3 years on Windows Vista. It is very light and it never caused me any hassle.
Some false positives, but not many and mostly on C/C++ programms I write and compile on my own.

I ran a full scan yesterday, all files, all drives, all archives, all mail files, all everything ticked on, I went to bed, woke up 9 hours later and it still needed 1 hour to finish
So yes, scan is slow, but I do it once a year.
It scanned about 1 million files.

I really love my green Spider and I think I'm going to keep it on my desktop.

Essentially new scanner is in working out.

 

v6 coming this month (march) according to forum. + firewall option (here we go!)

 

Actually I use the Vista firewall and a rooter, but will try it out

 

Anyone else find that during the last few days, their main site is down each night for about 12 hours and no downloads of any of their products are possible from a range of sites?

 

Night? You mean according to GMT?

 

Yes Still down now.

 

Its working fine for me..

 

I always liked dr Web. their forum is very friendly.
People talked about Dr Webs scanning speed. But in my opinion it is the thoroughest scanner in the world. During scanning it even extracts PDF streams. I never found that being done by any AV (I have tried almost all there).
