Dr.Web uses special virus databases to detect threats. These databases contain details and signatures of all viruses and malicious programs known by Doctor Web experts, for devices running on Android and Aurora. Virus databases need to be regularly updated as new malicious programs appear regularly. The application features a special option for updating virus databases over the internet.
If virus databases are out of date, a notification appears at the bottom of the app. Tap the notification to update virus databases. You can also start the update in the Virus databases section of the pulley menu.
|
It is recommended to update virus databases as soon as you install the application. This will allow Dr.Web to use up-to-date information about known threats. As soon as experts of the Doctor Web anti-virus laboratory discover new threats, an update for virus signatures, behavior characteristics, and attributes is issued. In some cases, updates can be issued several times per hour. |
