March 13, 2007

Doctor Web, Ltd., a Russian developer of Dr.Web security solutions, launches public beta-testing of Dr.Web for IBM Lotus Domino (under Windows).

Dr.Web Anti-virus for IBM Lotus Domino protects from viruses, spyware, adware and other types of unsolicited codes IBM Lotus Domino application servers. It is one more Dr.Web product for protection of large and extra large networks – this time for IBM Lotus Domino servers, securing communication infrastructure for mutual interaction and shared usage of information resources of corporations.

Dr.Web for Lotus Domino operates under Windows NT/2000/XP and performs the following functions:

• Checks for viruses and malicious programs in all incoming and outgoing e-mail messages;
• Cures infected mail messages and files attached to them;
• Stores infected and suspicious objects in the quarantine;
• Notifies users and administrators about infected and suspicious objects;
• Keeps logs of events and actions.

Package components

• Monitor — checks received and sent e-mail messages.
• Scanner — checks documents in nsf-bases specified by the administrator.
• Quarantine — stores infected and suspicious objects. It is implemented as nsf-base.
• Updating utility — automatically updates anti-virus databases and program modules.

Flexible settings and administration
Dr.Web for Lotus Domino has all necessary tools allowing administrators to flexibly specify algorithms of actions of the anti-virus upon the check of messages, send notifications to senders, recipients and administrators on the viruses detected, store original copies of received e-mail messages.

Efficient scanning
The e-mail messages can be scanned on-the-fly (in the real time mode), or on demand. This allows to launch scannings when the load on the server is minimal. Dr.Web for Lotus Domino scans objects saved in the memory buffer which considerably increases efficiency of scanning.

Grouping and managing groups
Dr.Web for Lotus Domino is highly scalable to the network size and its topology. It can be adapted both for small networks and complicated distributed intranets with thousands of hosts. The option of grouping facilitates administration of the anti-virus protection. The administrator can specify different settings for different groups, as well as similar settings for several groups. This is achieved on the basis of profiles.

Blocking of infected and suspicious objects
The infected and suspicious objects detected by the anti-virus are moved to the quarantine. Standard Lotus tools can bе used to access the objects moved to the quarantine.

Very frequent updates
One of the biggest advantages of Dr.Web anti-virus is the release of frequent daily updates of the virus database, going to several times per hour during the high malware outbreaks.
The updating utility can be launched manually, as well as on the schedule, which makes it easy to keep the virus databases and program files of the anti-virus package up-to-date. After the update is received, no reboot is required.
The updates are downloaded in seconds and their size seldom exceeds 40 КB! Dr.Web anti-virus has one of the most compact virus databases which allows to scan faster, to save computer resources and to update instantaneously. Just a single entry in it allows to detect tens, or hundreds, or even thousands similar viruses!
