Support for Dr.Web products installed on computers running Windows 10

Technical support and updates for Dr.Web antivirus databases and software components are available as usual;
With Microsoft support officially discontinued, Doctor Web is continuing to ensure that its products are compatible with Windows 10—for as long as this is possible, taking into account security requirements.
Long-term support for all versions, starting with Windows XP
Even though many Windows versions lack official support, they are still actively being used in individual infrastructures—including in industry, automated control systems and specialized corporate environments.
Taking into account the needs of these users, Doctor Web is continuing to provide support for all OS versions, starting with Windows XP, in current versions of Dr.Web solutions for PC protection.
! Please note that using outdated versions of OSs is associated with certain risks.
The lack of security updates leaves vulnerabilities unclosed.
Compatibility issues connected with modern versions of application software (browsers, drivers, etc.).
Increased risk of compromise—exploits for older operating systems are widely available in open sources, and cybercriminals are still carrying out attacks on vulnerable protocols (SMBv1, TLS 1.0, etc.).
Even if your company's business processes are critically dependent on these systems, it is strongly recommended that you plan to migrate to modern operating systems that provide security updates.
For any period that you are using outdated OS versions, you need to isolate nodes containing OS data from the Internet and your main corporate network segments through the use of VLAN, DMZ or firewalls, and you must carefully scan the entire data exchange process involving these systems for malicious content.
