Dr.Web's story

1990-1991

Igor Danilov's first experiments on curing viruses are carried out (using AIDStest and other antivirus and debuggers).

The first anti-virus monitor based in Tadpole is created.

1991

Tadpole is being rewritten, becoming more flexible and versatile.

Tornado Antivirus (scanner) is created. Tornado was able to interact with the hard drive filesystem at a low level (BIOS) and deal with the new Ghost 1963 virus. It was characterized by a high scanning speed.

1992

Spider web with the spider protection (Tadpoles successor) and Doctor Web (Tornados successor). This moment became the starting point in the history of Dr.Web's development.

Igor Danilov took part in this year's "1 & 1" competition for Eastern European countries to find interesting software products and technologies. Your SpiderWeb has received a scholarship that gave its creator a position at CeBIT'93.

1993

Dr.Web at CeBIT'93 (Hanover, Germany).

The Scorpion Disk Inspector will be created. Like the tornado, Scorpion worked with a hard drive file system at the BIOS level, which could be used to detect hidden viruses.

The first polymorphic virus is created. Its appearance became a dividing line that separates true antivirus programs that can detect and cure polymorphs from other programs that perform some of the antivirus functions. Dr.Web is the first program in the history of the antivirus industry that can detect and cure complex polymorphic viruses. It is this antivirus technology that first made Dr.Web famous among professionals.

Igor Danilov attended the All-Russian seminar and got acquainted with Igor Lozinsky and other virologists.

1994

The heuristic analyzer is implemented, which detects previously unknown viruses.

A processor emulator is implemented to handle and detect polymorphic viruses. Dr.Web Anti-Virus is one of the few in the world that is confronted with the famous Phantom-1 polymorphic virus.

Doctor Web is the first company to offer an antivirus program as a service in the Russian market and to this day remains the undisputed leader in this segment of the antivirus market.

The first Dr.Web antivirus program for mobile devices is started.

With viruses stopping Mobile devices are currently rare, Doctor Web makes the unprecedented decision to make the product available for free. The motto: "Protection against non-existent threats must be free". Doctor Web will stick to this principle with regard to all antivirus for mobile devices until 2012, when the number of threats to mobile platforms increases exponentially.

2008

our customers

The Russian government has relied on Doctor Web antivirus products for many years. The products are made by the Russian Army, the Russian State Duma and the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation and are certified for use in government institutions, in the national defense system and in the secret services. The certification process has confirmed that Dr.Web products do not contain any undeclared functions or weak points.

All current Russian elections were protected by Dr.Web Antivirus; In 2002 we developed a special anti-virus program for GAS "Vybory", the automated government information system that facilitates elections. In addition, we have developed another special antivirus program for a special operating system used by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Customers from all industries use Dr.Web. These are just a few of our customers.

The Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite protects both small and medium-sized companies and industry giants. The latter include customers who protect hundreds of thousands of devices with Dr.Web. For example:

Russian Ministry of Defense: approx. * 00,000 devices;

Sberbank of Russia - 100,000 devices;

Computer Information Center in Udmurtia: 35,750 devices; Russian Agricultural Bank - 24,000 devices.

Doctor's web specialists have developed a cloud-based solution based on the corporate antivirus from Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite to provide the antivirus as a service through Internet service providers. Most Russian providers offer their customers a Dr.Web antivirus service. Some of these accounts have up to tens of thousands of users. And Dr.Web copes with these burdens very well.

Technologies

The company's software contains a patented anti-virus engine. Few companies in the world have their own engine. Most companies license from other antivirus providers.

All rights to Dr.Web technologies are reserved by Doctor Web.

The company has over 26 years of experience studying malware evolution and developing antivirus solutions to neutralize them. They have a deep understanding of operating systems, software and hardware ability to predict how malware will develop.

We develop what we highlight in basic anti-malware protection, not new add-ons (i.e. patches) for anything and everything. We are continuously improving our basic and proven antivirus technologies over time (WannaCry was captured by our heuristic analyzer which we have been refining for almost 25 years) and we are developing new advanced antivirus technologies (preventive protection, machine-guided learning technologies, etc.).

We have the highest level of expertise in detecting client PCs and protecting them from Internet threats.

The best indicator of a quality antivirus isn't its ability to detect viruses, but rather its ability to neutralize malware. its ability to not only delete compromised files that contain critical user information, but also to restore them to their original "healthy" state. Dr.Web Antivirus works on infected computers. Its exceptional resistance to viruses sets it apart from its competitors.

Dr.Web is one of the few virus protection programs that can detect and neutralize viruses in RAM that never exist as files on data carriers. So far, only a few antivirus programs have been able to cure such viruses.

Dr.Web can reliably detect packaged malicious objects, regardless of whether Dr.Web detects the compression format and undoes it and analyzed in detail to reveal hidden threats.

Only Dr.Web can fully scan files at every level of nesting. This means that the Dr.Web antivirus detects and neutralizes a threat, even if it has been compressed several times with various compatible archiving programs.

Unlike most of its competitors, Dr.Web can detect an infection in the BIOS firmware and start with version 11.5 in the UEFI firmware.

Dr.Web has long been known as an anti-virus program that is economical with system resources. This is due to special technologies that allow your databases to contain fewer records and the use of a specially designed database structure. As a result, the scanning speed does not change even if the number of known malicious programs increases.

Dr.Web virus databases have a unique function: an algorithm to search for signatures in virus databases as well as in the rule databases for firewall and behavior analysis devices. This means that the search time does not increase as the number of database entries increases.

Just one entry can identify hundreds or even thousands of similar malicious files, including those that may be created by cyber criminals in the future. As the Dr.Web virus databases are reduced, the system requirements do not have to be increased continuously. Updates remain small, while the quality of detection and curing remains at the traditionally high level.

Technologies based on machine learning

Based on a cumulative understanding of malware behavior, these new technologies can detect signs of possible malicious behavior before a program is launched. You have drastically reduced Dr.Web's reliance on signatures and more recently unknown threats have been discovered. Thanks to this new technology, the Dr.Web virus database stores the minimum amount of information and the detection quality improves only with the small number of false positives.

Dr.Web Preventive Protection analyzes the behavior of running processes and does not compare them with the rule database known to the application provider, but with the rule database for typical malware behavior. This feature enables preventative protection to avoid common problems for our competitors' HIPS.

Dr.Web's rules database for preventive protection is small: it is not necessary to describe the behavior of all versions of all existing (and previous) software programs in the world. this means that Dr.Web performs faster scans and the rulebase itself uses fewer resources on users' computers.

Dr.Web Preventive Protection blocks up to 98% of ransomware encryption programs and does so only on the basis of a description of their behavior without using signatures (if the component is activated and configured correctly).

Dr.Web Anti-Spam

Dr.Web Anti-Spam is unique. It doesn't include sample messages and works according to the rules. In fact, it is preventive mail protection. Dr.Web Anti-Spam filters up to 98% of malicious files that try to enter a system through email messages. Anti-Spam is only available with full protection as part of the Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite.

Anti-Spam does not require any configuration or training. In contrast to anti-spam solutions, which require daily training based, for example, on Bayesian filtering, it works as soon as the first message arrives. Therefore, antispam does not require daily training from the System administrator.

Detects spam messages regardless of your language.

There are no delays in receiving emails.

Real-time email filtering.

High-speed filtering with low consumption of system resources.

You can scan objects at any nesting level.

You can choose a processing technology for the target object based on the message envelope or detected blocked objects.

Leaked messages are kept in a separate folder so that they can be reviewed at any time to ensure that no false detection has occurred.

These unique technologies eliminate the need for a blacklist. No company will be discredited for deliberately adding it to this list.

Stand alone: does not require constant connection to an external server or access to a database, which results in significant savings in data traffic.

You don't need to update more than once every 24 hours. Thanks to unique spam detection technologies based on several thousand rules, Anti-Spam stays up to date without the frequent need to download extensive updates.

A highly efficient spam filtering is combined with a low consumption of system resources. Because of this, Dr.Web Anti-Spam can work efficiently on low-end hardware.

The cloud-based Dr.Web vxCube service

Dr.Web vxCube is a unique, intelligent, cloud-based interactive scanner for suspicious objects.

Detects and identifies unknown malware for Windows and Android.

If the scan finds that Dr.Web still cannot recognize the transmitted file, a custom Dr.Web CureIt! The build is generated instantly so you can heal your system and quickly neutralize infections your antivirus doesn't know about.

Current best Dr.WEB code is "15OFF1001".
