  IMPORTANT NOTICE

Dr.Web is an antivirus solution that can be used for scanning your computer on a regular basis in order to keep malware at bay. It can detect a wide range of threats that include but are not limited to Trojans, worms, adware, rootkits, and spyware.

The interface is accessible from the system tray area, presenting you with three scanning options: Express, Complete and Custom. The Express option scans the essential system locations such as the memory and the operating system.

You need to use the Complete scan option if you want to scan the entire computer and removable storage devices, such as USB hard drives or portable memory sticks.

If you've just connected a storage device and need to scan its contents, you should resort to the the Custom scan, as it allows you to select important folders that are likely to be infected, such as the temporary files or the Documents folder.

The software application is easy to use and flexible when you need to configure the actions to be taken when infected files are detected. It allows you to select the default option for each threat type. However, it reserves some advanced settings for seasoned PC users too, such as heuristics, logging level, resources usage limit, and archive scanning.

Besides the file scanner, the program includes a mail scanner that verifies Outlook messages and marks the suspicious ones in order to be treated with the required attention. Since the email is one of the frequent means to spread malware, it can be a useful addition to your security toolkit.

The SpIDer Guard module permanently monitors the computer activity and blocks the processes or activities that resemble virus behavior. You can customize it to block autorun actions and to scan inside the installers accessed by the user. Meanwhile, the firewall monitors applications which attempt to connect to the Internet and gives you the power to control their behavior.

Overall, Dr.Web is a practical tool that provides all the necessary features for defending your computer against malware programs.
