Doctor Web released an update for several components incorporated in Dr.Web single-user products of the 6.0 series for Windows. Improvements and error fixes have been delivered for the Scanning Engine service, SpIDer Guard (G3) file monitor and Dr.Web SelfPROtect.

The Scanning Engine received upgrades increasing the scanning speed and simultaneously reducing its resource consumption. The scan exceptions list has been expanded and reorganized. Besides, this list is now automatically transferred to the Dr.Web SpIDer Guard (G3) driver, thus improving the component's performance.

In addition, the update improved the self-protection module Dr.Web SelfPROtect.

The update is released for Dr.Web Anti-virus and Dr.Web Security Space, as well as for Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite and Dr.Web Server Security Suite with no centralized control tool.

The update will be automatically downloaded by the anti-viruses but applying the update will require a system reboot.
