To decrease false positives, Dr.Web for Android Light has had its unlocking routine for ransomware-compromised phones redesigned. Now to unlock a device, connect and immediately disconnect it from the plugged-in charger; then connect and instantly disconnect the headphones; and then shake the device vigorously.
The update also provides Persian language support for Dr.Web for Android Light.
The updated anti-viruses are available on Google Play (Dr.Web for Android. Comprehensive protection, Dr.Web for Android. Life License, and Dr.Web Anti-virus Light) as well as from Doctor Web's site.
The update will be downloaded and installed automatically. If automatic updates are disabled on the device, go to Google Play; choose Dr.Web Anti-virus, Dr.Web Anti-Virus Life license or Dr.Web for Android Light on the application list; and click "Update”.
To perform an update via Doctor Web's site, download the updated distribution. If the option “New application version” is enabled, a new version notification will be displayed whenever the virus databases have been updated. You can start the download directly from this dialogue box.
