Founded back in 1992, Dr.Web is a Russian developer with a vast range of security products for desktops and mobile devices. Dr.Web Anti-virus offers real-time malware detection, behavioural monitoring, and a surprising bonus in a bundled firewall. This gets you packet layer filtering, real-time monitoring of applications, and the ability to customise what any application is allowed to do online. Pricing is, well, complicated. It can be as low as €13 (£11.50, $15) for a one PC, one-year licence, if you opt for no technical support. If that's a step too far, the with-support price doubles to €26 (£23, $30). Both options offer deep discounting if you add more users and extend the term.
For example, a three device, three-year licence with tech support costs €87 (£77, $100). • That's not all (we did say it was complicated). The company really wants you to buy its security suite, Dr.Web Security Space, which extends the package with a spam filter, parental controls, URL filtering, backup, device control, and a free service to try. This is available from €14 (£12.30, $16) without tech support, €28 (£24.50, $32) with, and has the same level of discounting as the antivirus. It doesn't even stop there, because Dr.Web offers some impressive discounts on renewal, starting at 40% off the regular price. Long-term customers could save a lot of cash.
Setup Dr.Web Anti-virus isn't available in trial form, but the company does have a download for its big brother security suite, Dr.Web Security Space. Trials come in two flavours.
A generous three-month licence is available for free if you register, which essentially just means handing over your email address. If you'd prefer to keep your details private, a one-month trial won't ask you for anything at all. Our download was a chunky 350MB, but once it arrived the setup process was relatively straightforward. After once again giving us the choice of trial options, the installer equipped our PC with its various components, downloaded and applied a few updates and prompted us to reboot.
We browsed the Dr.Web installation and found a compact set of files, neatly organised, and all digitally signed. Unusually, there was only one obvious third-party component, a spam filter from. Protokol vskritiya telenka pri gipotrofii. This is a good sign, as it indicates a company that’s developing its own technologies in-house, which should ensure that the various components work well together. Dr.Web uses multiple technologies to protect its files from interference by malware, apparently including a ‘Hypervisor component’. We're not quite sure what that involves, but it was more than enough to protect the program from our simple attacks.
Whatever we did, processes stayed running, services refused to stop and files couldn't be deleted. Dr.Web wasn't going to be disabled easily. Features The Dr.Web interface is one of the most basic we've seen; it’s little more than a menu displayed from a system tray icon. For some reason, the Scanner option you'll use most often is right at the bottom of the list, but once you've spotted it, an Express, Full or Custom scan is just a couple of clicks away.
Dr.Web's Express scan isn't as speedy as its name suggests, indeed it took approaching nine minutes to examine our test system (most packages take around four or five minutes, some are much faster). Accuracy was good, with the program detecting everything we threw at it. But Dr.Web's focus on ‘potentially unwanted programs’ also generated many more questionable detections than usual, as well as highlighting our HOSTS file as infected just because it wasn't the Windows default.
Scanning our sample Program Files folder also took longer than most of the competition. But again, all our carefully positioned threats were picked up, and this time there were no false alarms. Dr.Web Anti-virus doesn't have a URL filter, unfortunately – that's reserved for the Security Space suite. That means there's no protection from phishing, although malware should be picked up anyway via the regular file and download scanners. The program is supposed to have a firewall, but at first we couldn't find a reference to it anywhere. We poked around, searched here and there – but found nothing. We browsed the local Help file, which proved disappointing: it told us about the firewall, but not how or where it could be launched.
