Variant-Inform is an ISP operating in the city of Dmitrovograd (population 128,3K) of the Ulyanovsk region that now offers its customers Dr.Web anti-virus service to protect against malware and spam.

Now home users can secure their information with Dr.Web AV-Desk free of charge. Legal entities can use the software at a fee of USD 2.6.

“The deployment of Dr.Web AV-Desk solves one of the most important problem of our subscribers and makes our company more attractive to potential customers. During the testing period Dr.Web anti-virus was installed on all our office workstations and it did very well”, Nikolay Zakharov, the sales manager of Variant-Inform says.
