Publisher's Description
From AdvancedForce InfoSecurity Solutions:
Dr. Web Anti-Virus for Workstations provides powerful and reliable antivirus protection for your workstation. With default settings, Dr. Web automatically scrutinizes all possible ways of viral intrusion, and blocks and reports any malicious behavior. The user may entrust Dr. Web with automatically eliminating all detected viruses, worms, and Trojan horses, thus keeping the PC in the cleanest state. It intercepts every attempt to access files and hard-drive system areas and performs real-time checks of any object trying to penetrate the local file system. Upon detecting a virus or any other malicious program, Dr. Web blocks access to the file, so that no harmful activity occurs until the user has a chance to choose an appropriate action, or Dr. Web takes care of it. Due to the deep integration of this on-access antivirus technology into the operating system, the real-time monitoring cannot be terminated by any other application, which distinguishes Dr. Web from many other antiviruses.
Version 4.31a added 244 new virus records.

"Resident Evil"
Version: Dr. Web Anti-Virus for Workstations 4.31a
Pros
Dr Web turned out to be somewhat effective. It found many objects that needed to be removed from my computer and eliminated them quickly and effeciently.
Cons
The program proved to be less effective than some of the other anti-virus programs that I've gotten from download.com so after the trial period ended, I uninstalled the program. Actually, I tried to uninstall the program but it said, "some items from Dr. Web could not be uninstalled by this program. Please go back and uninstall them manually!" Now it's up to me to track down every little file they've hidden on my computer? Um... does that seem stupid to anyone else?

"This is a great Anti-Virus."
Version: Dr. Web Anti-Virus for Workstations 4.31a
Pros
The only AV lighter on resources that I have tried is F-Prot which isnt that good. The false positive issue that some folks have legitimately had a problem with in the past have been dramatically improved. The only better AV I have used is Kaspersky, which uses more memory and cost about twice the price. This program is ugly and looks like it was coded in 1995 but it gets the job done. It also updates it's Virus database every hour.
Cons
I honestly cant think of many worth mentioning. I would say this is one of the top three Antivirus programs.

"works great low cpu usage too!"
Version: Dr. Web Anti-Virus for Workstations 4.31a
Summary
Great anti virus. Uses practically no system resources, updates itself and keeps everything bad out on the web and in your mail.
I must admit I uninstalled it once because I had to and it uninstalled no problem, so I dont know why someone reckons it doesn't. -
"Too many false alarms!"
Version: Dr. Web Anti-Virus for Workstations 4.31a
Summary
Although Dr.Web comes in second in virus detection (NOD32 is 1st), it generates too many false alarms. It detected a virus that Trend Micro, Norton, AntiVir, Kaspersky and F-Prot seemed to have missed. For a good antivirus, I recommend Kaspersky.

"it does the job"
Version: Dr. Web Anti-Virus for Workstations 4.31a
Summary
i highly recommend Dr.Web AV, the free version delete the infected files found, it does not (cure) fix the files, but that Ok with me.
Its very fast, and it does not slow down the system.
Give it a try. -
"great product"
Version: Dr. Web Anti-Virus for Workstations 4.31a
Summary
i used the home version and have not had any problems as of yet. I saw a reduction of speed if I clicked on the scan file on ope and run option so I turned it off-runs as if it was never installed. Detects viruses very fast. For the price - $25.00 - it is a great deal.
