Russian anti-virus company Doctor Web is pleased to announce that Dr.Web for Android Light has passed the fifty million download mark on Google Play. Thus, one of the world’s most popular anti-viruses for Android has set a new record, leaving behind the many popular applications available via this platform. Originally released in 2010, Dr.Web for Android Light has always been available free of charge to users who purchase Dr.Web for PCs and Macs.

Today Dr.Web for Android Light is trusted by users in many countries around the world. And that is for a reason: this anti-virus application not only scans file systems and detects threats that have not yet been registered in the Dr.Web virus database, but also has a minimal impact on OS performance, battery life, and the amount of traffic used. The anti-virus is constantly being upgraded and enhanced with new features and is becoming even more user-friendly. For example, Dr.Web for Android Light has recently been equipped with a feature that enables users to unlock devices compromised by locker ransomware. Now users can get rid of this threat even if the screen is completely locked! Currently unavailable in any other anti-virus, this feature has naturally boosted the number of Google Play downloads which now number over 50 million.

Doctor Web says 50,000,000 thank yous to the users who have chosen Dr.Web for Android Light! Your trust is the best proof that our product is moving in the right direction and will provide protection for an even greater number of handhelds in the future. Download Dr.Web for Android Light — one small step for man, one giant leap for Android users!

Doctor Web also wishes to remind everyone that an anti-virus alone is not enough to provide maximum protection for an Android-powered device: components such as anti-spam, anti-theft, firewall, Security Auditor and Cloud Checker are absent in the Light version and are only available in the enhanced version of the product, namely, Dr.Web for Android. You can try it free for 14 days!
