Dr.Web CureIt!
Moscow, Russia
What it is
Dr.Web CureIt! is a Windows utility for scanning and curing malware on infected workstations. Its free version is for one-time scanning and does not provide real-time protection, selectable scan objects or command-line parameters. A download includes current virus definitions, but the utility does not update them automatically, so home users need to download it again for a current scan. Doctor Web says its databases may be refreshed hourly or more often. The Pro version adds scans of selected files, folders, drives, virtual drives, network resources and individual processes, plus command-line options for scripts and automated IT systems. Pro also provides quarantine management with export, import and cleaning. During free scans, statistics and system details such as CPU, RAM, operating system, installed security software and detected threats are sent to Doctor Web. The company says it does not collect identifying personal information; sending statistics is optional in the paid version. Doctor Web lists 24/7 technical support. The Pro plan is listed for five or ten days, with no price stated.
