Dr.Web Security Space 12.8.0 update fixes Call and SMS filter issue

June 10, 2022

Russian anti-virus company Doctor Web has released a fix for an issue in Dr.Web Security Space 12.8.0.

The identified problem affected the Call and SMS filter and has been resolved with the update.

If you downloaded the Dr.Web app from Google Play, the update will be downloaded and installed automatically. If you disabled automatic updating on your device, go to Google Play, select Dr.Web Security Space or Dr.Web Security Space Life on the application list, and tap "Update”.

If you're experiencing problems resulting from restrictions imposed by Google Play, it is recommended that you switch your Dr.Web license to the subscription-based format for continuous stable operation of the app. To change your license format, you will need to provide your Google Play order number. Alternately, you can contact Doctor Web's technical support service.

To update the app via the Doctor Web site, you need to download a new distribution file and run it on your device. If you’ve enabled the “New app version” option in the settings, a notification will be displayed whenever the virus databases are updated. You can start the download directly from this dialogue box.
