This is indeed a new tool whose operation is no longer based on the periodic creation and protection of backup copies but on the <strong>non-stop resident protection</strong> of user-selected folders. Your files will remain under its protection until such time as you yourself disable it.</p><p><em>Data Loss Prevention</em> needs to be turned on and configured.</p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><br /> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://st.drweb.com/static/new-www/news/2018/october/v12/DrWeb_v12_14_en.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://st.drweb.com/static/new-www/news/2018/october/v12/DrWeb_v12_14_en.1.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://st.drweb.com/static/new-www/news/2018/october/v12/DrWeb_v12_15_en.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://st.drweb.com/static/new-www/news/2018/october/v12/DrWeb_v12_15_en.1.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://st.drweb.com/static/new-www/news/2018/october/v12/DrWeb_v12_16_en.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://st.drweb.com/static/new-www/news/2018/october/v12/DrWeb_v12_16_en.1.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"></li> </ul><p><a href="https://malwaretips.com/javascript%3Avoid(0)" target="_blank">‹</a></p><p><a href="https://malwaretips.com/javascript%3Avoid(0)" target="_blank">›</a></p><p>!

In addition to the technological innovations, the new version of Dr.Web is simply... irresistible! Let's take a look! [SIZE=18px][B]New! Dr.Web Security Center[/B][/SIZE] Easier and more intuitive—these are the words that can used to describe what it’s like to manage the settings of the protection components and tools in the new Dr.Web 12 for Windows.

[SIZE=18px][B]Preventive protection[/B][/SIZE] Dr.Web’s array of Preventive Protection technologies is responsible for analysing the behaviour of running applications and all system processes. Thanks to them, Dr.Web [LIST] [*]blocks malicious programs based solely on a description of their behaviour, without using signatures; [*]protects against the latest malicious programs that have been designed to bypass detection by traditional signature-based scanning and heuristic mechanisms; [*]protects against objects that have not yet been analysed by the anti-virus laboratory and, therefore, are unknown to Dr.Web at the moment of intrusion. [/LIST] Dr.Web’s Preventive Protection technologies allow our anti-virus to remain PERMANENTLY UP TO DATE AND RELEVANT and to do the seemingly impossible: protect against threats that have already been created but are not yet known to our virus database, and this even includes protecting users against threats that criminals have yet to develop! In the new Dr.Web for Windows 12, Dr.Web’s Preventive Protection technologies can neutralise brand-new threats thanks to three modules that can be managed via a single Dr.Web Security Center tab.

Our modules, which users can easily find in the [I]Devices and Personal Data[/I] section, will prevent all those things from occurring.

Data Loss Prevention[/B][/SIZE] Many Dr.Web users have heard about encryption ransomware programs that corrupt user files and demand a ransom to restore the information. Because Trojan code often contains errors, even users who pay their blackmailers a ransom risk never seeing their photos and work documents again. Because encryption ransomware is so highly commonplace today, protecting oneself against it is vital. And although the new Dr.Web protection component has the same name as in Dr.Web versions 9-11.5, the routine governing its operation is now completely different. This is indeed a new tool whose operation is no longer based on the periodic creation and protection of backup copies but on the [B]non-stop resident protection[/B] of user-selected folders. Your files will remain under its protection until such time as you yourself disable it. [I]Data Loss Prevention[/I] needs to be turned on and configured.

Protection against spying[/B][/SIZE] Spying incidents—those involving cybercriminals carrying out attacks that let them gain access to microphones and cameras, make video and sound recordings, and then demand a ransom to keep the information attained private—are on the rise. And users cannot tell when their devices are being compromised (no light comes on) even if they’ve locked their screens. [B]Dr.Web 12 version for Windows[/B] will render such intrusions impossible. It will protect your privacy because it ensures that webcams and microphones cannot be used for surveillance purposes. So you no longer have to duct-tape you webcam ☺ A computer should serve its user rather than an invisible intruder.

The Parental Control component in the new Dr.Web 12 for Windows will protect children against the kinds of threats that can impact them the most.

Users can now check how much computer time they have left if limits have been placed on their computer use. This way, they won’t be surprised when their computer shuts down.
