Protect your loved ones from phone scams with the new Anti-scam feature

Dr.Web Family Security—a mobile app that helps you keep your children and adult family members safe in the digital world—has been enhanced to include the Anti-scam feature, providing even more reliable protection from phone scams and blackmail. 

How the Anti-scam works

• It helps you keep your finger on the pulse. As the family manager, you can set a duration limit for calls from numbers that are either hidden or not found on the Contacts list. For example, you can keep them as short as just one minute. That’s sufficient time to say “hello” but not nearly enough time to coerce the target into divulging a valuable piece of information.
• It aborts scammer attacks at their outset. The shorter the conversation, the lower the chance of an attacker being able to gain your family member’s trust to obtain transaction confirmation codes from SMS; bank card data; or passwords. You’re taking away their most vital resource —time.
• It makes sure your family members will never miss the things that matter. If an important call gets cut short by the filter, simply add the number to the Allowed lists—and all subsequent calls from that number will never get interrupted by Dr.Web. Maintain full control and stay connected.

This release also incorporates stability and performance upgrades for the app. 
The latest Dr.Web Family Security version is already available on Google Play and will appear on Doctor Web’s site drweb.com and on AppGallery shortly. Keep an eye on your update notifications!
