I used it for a small amount of time a few years ago. Found that it was pretty light, but expensive. There arent many deals on it so it gets tossed by the way side with so many free options available.

 

i used it as a scanner a couple years ago, the cure-it version is free.. check this out, a minute ago i found this report..

The Dr.Web anti-virus from Doctor Web turned out to be the only one out of 7 widely used anti-virus programs that wouldn't give in to participants of the International Alternative Workshop on Aggressive Computing and Security under the aegis of the ESIEA.


The first International Alternative Workshop on Aggressive Computing and Security was held on October 23-25, 2009 in Laval, France. As a part of the event seven anti-viruses were tested to determine if their self-protection could be disabled in sixty minutes. Anti-viruses were tested on Windows machines and testers had administrator's privileges in the systems. For more information about the testing, visit ESIEA's web-site .

The test showed that self-protection of anti-viruses from such vendors as Kaspersky Lab and Eset could be disabled in 40 and 33 minutes respectively while the defence mechanism of Norton Antivirus would break much sooner, in 4 minutes. The McAfee anti-virus was the quickest to fall and surrendered to testers in 2 minutes. AVG and G Data anti-virus solutions also failed to pass the test. Russian Dr.Web turned was the only anti-virus that wasn't disabled in sixty minutes...
