Viruses in the letter? Call the doctor!

Doctor Web is a universal antivirus program. It is designed to recognise and cure all the known virus and Trojan programs types. The essential feature Doctor Web can boast of is the original heuristic analyser which, along with the traditional method of detecting viruses by their signatures, allows to recognise even new viruses. The first Doctor Web version was released in 1992. Over the past two years Doctor Web was 5 times awarded "VB100%" by "Virus Bulletin", a respectable international magazine, holding regular tests.

Yandex.Mail (free web mail with @yandex.ru and @narod.ru addresses) has been existing for over a year, has over a million registered subscribers, receiving daily hundreds of thousands of letters. Now every incoming letter will be checked by the Doctor Web antivirus "at the gates". A virus detected in a letter or in an attachment, it will be specially marked.

Besides, in every letter menu a "Check for viruses" button has been added. It's an additional measure of protection. Doctor Web version used by Yandex.Mail is regularly updated, usually it happens that very day when a virus appears.

"Today virus spread rate is so high that for a reliable protection we release virus database adds-on several times a day along with new virus threats uprise. Sometimes it happens in 5 minutes" - Igor Daniloff, antivirus laboratory leader, the author of Doctor Web, comments the today's situation.

"The number of Internet users is constantly increasing. The vaster the web is, the mode devastating may the virus be"- Eugeniya Zavalishina, Yandex project director, says - DialogueScience suggested the decision that allowed to check all the incoming mail stream and did not require any additional processing powers. Let it be a present to our users for the International mail day celebrated on October 9."
