A leading telecom provider in Kazakhstan in cooperation with Doctor Web starts delivering the anti-virus security service to Internet users using Dr.Web AV-Desk™.

Dr.Web AV-Desk is an Internet service that allows provider companies to deliver anti-virus and anti-spam protection to an unlimited number of home and business customers. It also provides a tool for management of the delivery process.

Dr.Web AV-Desk is a brand-new model for delivery of anti-virus software making its consumption simple and easy. The Dr.Web anti-virus service provided by means of Dr.Web AV-Desk will enable companies clean their networks from viruses, improve quality of their services and reduce load of bus networks and amount of viral and spam traffic. Deployment of the Internet-service doesn’t require extra support and dramatically decreases the workload of the support service of a provider.

Cooperation with Kazakhtelecom is the first instance of deployment of Dr.Web AV-Desk in Kazakhstan. In order to increase the loyalty of customers the service provider expands the list of available services and improves their quality.

“Competition on the access service market is quite tough and loyalty of customers is one of the keys to success. Dr.Web AV-Desk will become an important point in our favour. The deployment of the innovative delivery model by Kazakhtelecom will get users uninterrupted access to the Internet and malware-free traffic. We are confident that it will attract new subscribers and enhance loyalty of our regular customers”, Marat Abdildabekov, the IT manager of Kazakhtelecom said.

“We’ve been cooperating with Doctor Web since August 2007 when we issued a special offer for all our customers so they could get a three month license for Dr.Web for Windows free of charge. Since then many subscribers took an offer showing great interest in the anti-virus. The Dr.Web anti-virus service will be delivered free of charge so every customer will be able to use it”, Andrei Adamenko, the manager of Information systems department added.

“It is very important that the largest telecom provider in Kazakhstan understands benefits of the innovative delivery model implemented in Dr.Web AV-Desk. Our partnership with Kazakhtelecom makes the anti-virus protection available to a large number of Internet users serving the main purpose of our service”, Boris Sharov, the CEO of Doctor Web commented upon the event.
