• Resident Evil

  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.

  slappybonesMay 3, 2005

  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.

  Pros

  Cons

  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!

  June 19, 2004

  Pros

  Cons

  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

  Pros

  Cons

  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.

  Pros

  Cons

  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.
