Design functionality. Doctor Web, a new generation scanner, searches and kills file and boot viruses, as well as combination viruses, which infect files and boot sectors. A highlight of Dr.Web that distinguishes it from other scanners is its heuristic analyzer along with the traditional mechanism for detecting viruses by signatures (a specific byte string in the virus code that uniquely identifies the virus).

Most of the existing scanners detect viruses by their signatures. Thus their virus detection power is strictly restricted by the set of signatures known to the designer. Heuristic analyzer imparts to the scanner the ability to trap a virus even if its signature is unknown to the scanner. The algorithms in Dr.Web detect all presently known types of viruses.

Another highlight of Dr.Web is its processor emulator for detecting complicated encrypted and polymorphic viruses, which cannot be detected by signature analysis.

Dr.Web also traps viruses inside archives, compressed and vaccinated files, as well as in WinWord and Excel documents.
