About this app

About
Free basic anti-virus protection for mobile devices running Android OS 4.4 — 14.
Features and advantages of the protection components
Anti-virus
• Quick or full file system scans, as well as custom scans of user-specified files and folders.
• On-demand file system scans;
• Neutralises encryption ransomware: malicious processes are terminated even if a device is locked; lockers not yet present in the Dr.Web virus database are blocked; data remains intact, eliminating the need to pay criminals a ransom.
• Detects new, unknown malware thanks to the unique Origins Tracing™ technology.
• Moves detected threats to the quarantine from which isolated files and applications can be restored.
•Minimal impact on system performance.
• Economises traffic due to the small size of the virus database updates, which is particularly important for users whose mobile device plans have usage limits.
•Detailed anti-virus operation statistics.
• A convenient and interactive widget for launching a scan from the device desktop.

Important

Anti-virus Dr.Web Light alone is not enough to protect your device from all types of modern-day threats. This version lacks important components, including the Call and SMS Filter, the Anti-theft and the URL filter. To protect your mobile device from all types of cyberthreats, use the comprehensive protection product Dr.Web Security Space for Android

The 6/9/21 update has done away with real-time scanning, which renders this app pointless. Only manual scanning available. So effectively, one could download a malicious app and the supposed 'antivirus app' would not notify you, until you decide to perform a manual scan. Even most smartphones such as my Samsung S10 have simple built in antivirus that initiate real-time scans, which Doctor Web now doesn't do. Doctor Web is a complete waste of space now. What does it do? Not a lot, is the answer.

Hello. Automatic scanning has been replaced with on-demand scanning to give users the ability to choose the time to check downloaded files themselves. This will save the resources of your device and not interrupt its work.

I was a Comodo fan but now the app has changed for the worst I needed a new Antivirus. Bit defender was awesome but then it stopped scanning everything. So once again, the search was on. After trawling through nearly every one I found Dr. Web and fell in love. This does everything all the others do... Plus it can scan all your files. This is what an Antivirus should be.

After using various popular products of the same genre with paid subcriptions and nothing but false positives and spammy notifications, this application is a dream come true! RTP with thorough manual scans without any upfront fee! I would purchase the paid version, but as with most "full" versions it turns out to be a kitchen sink and that is not what I require!
