Doctor Web — the Russian anti-virus vendor — is expanding its presence in the north-western region of Russia. Murmanskye Multiservisnye Seti has deployed Dr.Web AV-Desk in Murmansk along with many other provider companies delivering the anti-virus service to subscribers in St. Petersburg and nearby cities and towns.

The company has become the first access provider that deployed the Internet service for users living in the Murmansk region of Russia. Dr.Web AV-Desk allows service providers to deliver a highly demanded anti-virus service powered by Dr.Web software.

Subscribers signing up for the service get a reliable anti-virus from the renowned vendor . A user can set a desired subscription period and suspend the subscription if he goes on a long business trip or stays away for a long time while on holiday. Now more than five thousand subscribers of the ISP in Murmansk can take advantage of the new anti-virus service.

“We liked Dr.Web AV-Desk because it made an anti-virus easily accessible to our customers. They no longer need to go to a store and search for a boxed product. Now one enters his personal area, sets a subscription period and signs up. As the result the subscriber receives anti-virus protection meeting highest requirements to anti-virus security”, Aleksei Koksharov, the administration manager of Murmanskye Multiservisnye Seti commented upon the launch of commercial operation of the service.
