Doctor Web updated the Dr.Web SelfPROtect module included into Dr.Web Enterprise Suite 5.0 and the Internet-service Dr.Web AV-Desk. The updated module already available to users of personal and server products of the Dr.Web 6.0 series for Windows is now delivered to corporate customers and subscribers to the Dr.Web anti-virus service.

First of all, self-protection has been enhanced significantly. In order to protect Dr.Web from new techniques for neutralization of anti-viruses persistently devised by virus makers the developers implemented new routines for countering malware in Dr.Web SelfPROtect.

The update also provides fixes of errors that might result in malfunctioning of the anti-virus. In particular, the issue that might prevent modules of Dr.Web from launching on computers running Windows 7 has been resolved.

The improvements lower the risk of disrupting operation of Dr.Web components substantially and contribute to greater stability of the anti-viruses.

The update will be automatically downloaded by the Dr.Web anti-virus service software and by Dr.Web Enterprise Suite but a system restart will be necessary to apply the update.
