Dr.Web AV-Desk hit the market more than a year ago but its popularity is still growing. Access providers from more than 30 regions of Russia have already deployed the service and protected computers of their subscribers.

When a subscription is activated, the customer of Plt Electro-Com, Ltd will get a download link. The launched executable will automatically install Dr.Web for Windows and establish connection to an anti-virus server. The anti-virus client will monitor all file operations, scan RAM and boot sectors, filter out viruses and spam from e-mail.
