In April, Germany joined the list of countries that have service providers offering the Dr.Web anti-virus service to their customers. NetSol4U GmbH is the first provider in the country to deliver Dr.Web AV-Desk. Meanwhile, Doctor Web Internet service has been adopted by Web-Crossing in Austria, where the first deployments of Dr.Web AV-Desk took place last year.

While in Russia and other CIS countries Dr.Web AV-Desk is mainly deployed by ISPs, in other countries the solution from Doctor Web primarily attracts service providers. Companies delivering various services to corporate customers seek ways to ensure centralized protection of their clients from Internet threats and find the Dr.Web anti-virus service as the solution.

With this service users no longer need to search and deploy information security solutions on their own but make several clicks on the provider’s web-site and the anti-virus software starts protecting their systems. Cost-saving opportunities provided by flexible control over anti-virus components and protected objects whose number can be changed according to current needs are especially important to corporate customers.

"We are glad to deliver a new service for protection of workstations and servers to our customers. With Dr.Web AV-Desk we can easily protect any number of objects. I believe that Dr.Web AV-Desk is one of the first efficient SaaS soluti", Thomas Zepf, the managing director of NetSol4U GmbH said.

"The main reason why we’ve decided on Dr.Web AV-Desk is the opportunity to control anti-virus protection delivered to our customers. With the new service we help our small and big corporate clients solve the problem of maintaining informational security in their networks", Stefan Ennemoser, the managing director of Web-Crossing GmbH said.

About Dr.Web AV-Desk

Doctor Web was the first anti-virus vendor to offer an anti-virus as a service on the Russian market.

Deployment of Dr.Web AV-Desk allows subscribers of a service provider to use Dr.Web anti-virus as a service: choose a desired subscription period, renew their subscription automatically and therefore plan how much they are going to spend on anti-virus security. Providing an anti-virus as a service ensures its instant delivery and easy management of a subscription for home users and business customers. Dr.Web AV-Desk was released by Doctor Web in 2007. The number of service providers that deliver the Dr.Web anti-virus service in different regions of Russia and also in the Ukraine, France, Spain, Netherlands, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria and Estonia is exceeds 250. Following results shown by the service in 2007 it was named the best product-service by PC Magazine Russia. In September 2008 Dr.Web AV-Desk was awarded the large golden medal of the Siberian Fair as an original technical and telecom solution.
