Dr.Web Security Space

Dr.Web Security Space protects RAM, hard drives, and removable media of computers running Microsoft® Windows® operating system against any kind of viruses, rootkits, Trojans, spyware, adware, hacktools, and all possible types of malicious objects from any external source.

Dr.Web Security Space architecture consists of several modules responsible for different functionalities. Scan engine and virus databases are common for all components and different platforms.

Product components are constantly updated. New threat signatures are regularly added to the virus databases, databases of website categories and rules for email spam filtration. Constant update provides an up-to-date level of protection for users’ devices, applications and data. Heuristic analysis methods implemented in the scan engine ensure an additional protection against unknown malicious software.

Dr.Web Security Space can detect and remove unwanted programs: adware, dialers, jokes, riskware, and hacktools from your computer. To detect such programs and perform actions with the files contained in the programs, anti-virus components of Dr.Web are used.
