Dr.Web for Windows Mobile beta-version released

October 22, 2007

Doctor Web, Ltd., a Russian anti-virus developer, announces beta-testing of a new anti-virus product — Dr.Web for Windows Mobile.

Dr.Web anti-virus for Windows Mobile protects Pocket PCs and communicators running under Windows Mobile 2003/5.0/6.0. The new product combines resident virus protection (real-time detection of viruses) and on-demand scan (on-demand files check).

If the monitor detects malware, it will be temporarily blocked, a warning message will be displayed and a user will be prompted to do one of the following: ignore, delete or move to the Quarantine. All information concerning the activity of the monitor is stored in the log file.

Dr.Web for Windows Mobile scans on-demand mobile devices for viruses. It can check both the main memory of a device and the installed memory cards. One can do full scan or specify manually the objects for scanning. Based on the results of a check a user can perform one of three actions: ignore, delete infected files or place the files to the Quarantine (a special directory created by the anti-virus program on the device).

Virus database update feature of Dr.Web for Windows Mobile guarantees up-to-date protection from the latest malware threats. Virus database is updated via the Internet. To update, a corresponding option in the scanner menu should be selected.

We invite everyone to take part in beta-testing of the new Dr.Web product. Registration is required to access the restricted section of the web-site for beta-testers.

When the beta-testing is over, everyone who participated in the testing of Dr.Web for Windows Mobile will get a distribution of Dr.Web for Windows Mobile free of charge. To sign up, send an arbitrary application at market@drweb.com.

The most active participants of the beta-testing will be given a unique opportunity to purchase Dr.Web for Windows Mobile at a 80% discount for any number of protected devices for a three year period.
