November 7, 2008

Doctor Web – a Russian developer of IT security tools branded Dr.Web – announces introduction of the Dr.Web anti-virus service by ADVANTAGE TELECOM providing Internet in cities and towns to the north of Moscow. Since November customers of the ISP will be using the service free of charge for two months.

ADVANTAGE TELECOM is a leader on the telecom market in several towns north of Moscow. Meainwhile, aiming to increase loyalty of existing customers and attract new ones the company expands the list of available services offered to customers along with access to the Internet.

That’s why we adopted Dr.Web AV-Desk that shows perfect results protecting a large number of users against various types of malicious programs”, Alexei Shmonov, the IT-director of ADVANTAGE TELECOM commented upon preliminary results of the deployment.
