The deployment of Dr.Web AV-Desk by LANK Telecom at the end of March increased the number of Yaroslavl residents that can protect their computers from viruses and other malicious programs with Dr.Web anti-virus software. Following the SaaS software delivery model, Dr.Web AV-Desk enables numerous service providers in Russia and other CIS countries to supply their subscribers with reliable anti-virus software provided as a service.

Now four companies offer the Dr.Web anti-virus service to citizens of Yaroslavl. The service has become quite popular in the region.

Today anti-virus protection from Doctor Web is provided as a service by Naukay-Svyaz, Globalniye Telesistemi and Zavolga.net. Dr.Web AV-Desk has already gained significant popularity in the region. The number of ISPs interested in the service is growing. All benefits of the anti-virus as a service have become available to customers of LANK Telekom, one of the leading alternative operators of Yaroslavl.

“The Internet is full of viruses and many users don’t have an anti-virus installed on their computers. That’s why the Dr.Web anti-virus service is very popular among our subscribes and we expect that the demand will be growing”, Alexander Shustov, the head of the marketing department of LANK Telecom said.
