December 30, 2006

Doctor Web, Ltd. announces the beta-release of a new generation of Dr.Web anti-virus scanning engine (beta-release number 4.33.44). Its key feature is a unique algorithm of virus detection based on a signature-independent malware detection method which complements the traditional signature-based method and the heuristic analyzer.

The new technology has been developed for over 10 months for the purpose to significantly improve the quality of detection of unknown viruses. "Our analyzers and developers have no doubt achieved a substantially new level of anti-virus technology, - comments Boris Sharov, the CEO of Doctor Web, Ltd. We have long explored the possibility to implement our new detection methods to be able to detect unknown viruses to assure the highest protection level for our customers. Hopefully, it will be a good New year present for them."

The beta version of Dr.Web anti-virus engine can be downloaded from the beta-testing section of the website of Dr.Web anti-virus.

Notice. Names of malware detected by the new technology have the ".Origin" extension.
