Russian anti-virus company Doctor Web has updated Dr.Web Security Space for Android and Dr.Web for Android Light to versions 10.1.2 and 9.01.2, respectively. The update delivers new features and resolves known issues.

Both applications have received revamped and optimised routines for detecting and neutralising malware as well as other tweaks and bug fixes.

Dr.Web Security Space for Android can now detect Stagefright 2.0 vulnerabilities. Also resolved was a virus database updating issue that could occur when the application communicated with a centralised protection server in mobile mode. The update upgrades the routines for interacting with Android TV.

The updated applications are available at Google Play (Dr.Web Security Space , Dr.Web Security Space Life, and Dr.Web Anti-virusLight) as well as on Doctor Web's site.

If you downloaded your Dr.Web application from Google Play, the update will be downloaded and installed automatically. If you’ve disabled automatic updating on your device, go to Google Play, select Dr.Web Security Space, Dr.Web Security Space Life or Dr.Web Anti-virus Light on the application list, and click "Update”.

To update via the Doctor Web site, you need to download a new distribution file. If you enable the settings option “New application version”, a new version notification will be displayed whenever the virus databases have been updated. You can start the download directly from this dialogue box.
