Thoughts on Dr Web?

[Thirio]

I cannot find any lab results regarding Dr Web. Some people speak highly of it so i'm interested to know more about it. I've used the Cureit! scanner a couple times it seemed kind of slow but picked up some trojan threats other big names missed.

1. Where does it stand among top products today?
2. How good are their signatures and zero day?
3. Is it comparable to Kaspersky or even Avira?
4. How good is it at cleaning up already infected systems?

This is the best of all, do not worry! I have been using this program since 2013 with SpyShelter Premium and I have always had excellent results!

I know a guy that would be happy to fill you in, He has a Ragnar avatar, hang on a sec, crap I can't find him...
here is a test done by one of members here: Video Review - Dr Web Katana Behaviour Blocker Test
I personally don't use it, but there is a small fan base here that do. Good luck
Edit: I found him, @Mr.Pr

It's good, a bit heavy for some computers but gets the job done. In the other hand if you are a very novice user it will prob fail to protect you over time. If you get fooled by the internet so does your AV. If I have to give my honest opinion F-Secure has little interaction and protects well, it's DeepGuard is simple but yet effective. I use it alongside Firewall App Blocker 1.5 with whitelist function on. So basically only apps I have whitelisted can get outbound traffic, this way everything else is locked, it uses windows firewall then it's very light.

i think its not comparable to Kaspersky!!

Do not let the ideological vision, of some here negatively influence your understanding of this excellent fellow product.

Here is an unbiased test done by one of the members here:

It did a great job there. Good detection rate. Also I like that it's able to cure files instead of just deleting them.

Also I like that it's able to cure files instead of just deleting them.

Pretty much any Antivirus can do that. Usually, cleaning a file means removing the malicious code that has been appended to it. This is done by actual viruses as that's what they do (to self-replicate and infect a system).

AvirA this and Avira that and Avira is Everywhere! Where's your evidence that Avira has BEST ransomware shield?

That's uncalled for brother, you may want to edit that out, Post reported.

I haven't used Dr Web for a while but when i did i was satisfied with it's performance.
Very good web protection and pretty good signatures.
BB seemed to be working good.
Some things i didn't like.
High ram usage, slow scanning and a bit heavy on system.
The latest i can understand it because i have an old laptop.
On a new system i don't think you will have this problem.
Overall i think it's a very good security program.

Any reason why you don't think they are comparable? In this test they are compared and Dr Web beats Kaspersky at the end of the video during second opinion scans.

Testing myself..

 

[ZeroDay]

Testing myself..

If someone from the Malware Hub could kindly provide me with plenty of new samples, ransomware and any other nasties I'll set Avira up in a VM and you can choose every setting I use and I'll show you just how bad Avira's zero day protection is. I'll even run the same samples against other AV's you seem to criticize. At least then you have to face the truth because you'll be picking the settings I'll just be running the samples.

I am only talking about the pro Version.
Heur: High by real time and On demand ( web shield ) >>>I think this does nothing for the test but idk >>>>( mail shield)
Also scan all files in settings

( Make sure cloud is working it is working 99.99 on cloud..)

I have never regretted following you, just felt I had to say that.
