The simple fact of the matter is that there are numerous threats out there, from viruses and spyware to rootkits and hacker attacks. With lots and lots of threats out there, it’s not a good idea to leave your computer unprotected. This is where Dr.Web Anti-virus comes in. It provides basic protection against viruses and hacker attacks. If you want something more powerful, you should check out another security solution from the same developer, mainly Dr.Web Security Space.

You don’t need a powerful PC to run Dr.Web Anti-virus. If you have a Windows-powered machine (anything from Windows XP up to Windows 8) with 512Mb of RAM and some 330MB of free disk space, you’ll be able to run Dr.Web Anti-virus.

Speaking about running Dr.Web Anti-virus, a simple setup wizard will help you get the application up and running on your machine. The setup wizard will install the following components:
Scanner – on-demand scans that detect viruses.
SpIDer Guard – protects computer from viruses in real-time
SpIDerMail – scans emails for viruses.
Plug-in for MS Outlook – scans mailboxes for viruses and spam.
Updater – utility to automatically update the application.
Firewall – blocks suspicious packets and internet connection.

A reboot will be required to complete the installation process. When your machine boots back up you will notice a new icon in the system tray. From this icon you can access the Settings panel, the Statistics window, and all the features and functions Dr.Web Anti-virus puts at your disposal.

Speaking about features and functions, Dr.Web Anti-virus has the following to offer: perform three types of on-demand scans (Express, Complete, Custom), turn off the computer once the scan completes, real-time protection against viruses and other threats, protection against dangerous emails, autopdate capabilities, handy firewall.

All computers need protection from viruses and other threats. Dr.Web Anti-virus will ensure yours stays protected.

Pros

The system requirements for running Dr.Web Anti-virus on a Windows PC are quite low. Dr.Web Anti-virus is also available for Mac OS X and Linux. A setup wizard will help you quickly install Dr.Web Anti-virus on your machine. The application provides protection against viruses and other threats. Multiple languages are supported.

Cons

Doesn’t have as many features as Dr.Web Security Space.
