So, even DrWeb is going to have a stupid web scanner? UGH. I think I will just forget about using AV. All the vendors are becoming utterly inane.

 

If the AV gives you the possibility of a custom install, I don't see the problem. Users want a webscanner, no matter if you (and me) don't want one.

 

Web scanners (a.k.a. http scanners) are really needed -- like racing tires on a Yugo, or taking a lawnmower with you when you go swimming.

Install a HIPS (such as Threatfire) & even the remote possibility of ever needing a web scanner will disappear. Thus says Stefan Kurtzhals of Avira staff...

 

I think too that webscanners are next to useless (even without HIPS or behav. blockers), but users demand them. Everyone and their friends are developing webscanners, so the AV that doesn't have one will be perceived as "less powerful" in the eyes of the common user.
Sometimes, the right thing to do (from a commercial angle) isn't the right thing to do (from a logical angle).
I don't think the same of technologies like Link Scanner.

 

Dr.Web has to, because users won't buy it, saying "other AVs are better, they have an internet security, you don't".
But you may be pretty sure the stupid web scanner is going to be optional

 

smart move to make it optional

btw sergeyko, is there already news about the release of v5 for public beta testing ?

 

I don't use HTTP scanner or HIPS. I trust the power of Sandboxie

 

I'm sure that it is true that users won't buy it without a webscanner. It is sad that ignorant users dictate what features an AV should have. I am currently arguing with Avira developers, in their beta forum, about their webscanner being not only useless but crippling my surfing and crippling my speed tests. Avira added a webscanner (so far only to their security suite) because of pressure from ignorant users. There are many things that need some improvement in Avira but instead of working on those Avira wastes time with the webscanner. I hate seeing all the vendors doing this now.

Thank goodness Dr. Web will make it optional and hopefully make it so it can be not even be installed instead of just disabled.

 

The webscanner in Avira is optional with custom install.

 

mele knows this but just wants to continue to make it a issue when it isn’t. It is there like other suites and if you want it fine, if you don’t, then don’t install it. Mele, what one customers feels isn’t warranted may be deemed as a necessity by another. Flexibility is the key, well, except in your case.

 

and it is also nice to se that the Web will make this a user option.

 

No. It does NOT.

 

Key word is "will" as sergeyko stated for their next version.

 

We've already released alpha in private testing. I think at least 3 month we will need before beta.

 

Glad to see stuff is moving along. I'm interested in having a look at the "new" Dr.Web, mind giving us a little bit of a teaser?

I wonder if its different from the Dr.Web 5.0 that was supposed to be in development in 2002...
