Dr.Web Overview
Dr.Web is a security product line from the Russian vendor Doctor Web, available for Windows and other platforms, known for its standalone scanning tools and a relatively light footprint. Its products protect against viruses, ransomware, and other malware, and the brand is well known for Dr.Web CureIt!, a free on-demand scanner used to clean already-infected systems without a full installation. Full versions add real-time protection, a firewall, and web filtering. As with other vendors of Russian origin, some users in certain jurisdictions weigh trust and policy considerations. It is a paid product (with free on-demand tools). Its tools are also known for running from removable media to scan systems that will not boot normally, which is useful for incident response and cleanup.
