Doctor Web is one of the most widespread and popular anti-virus programs. The method of installing the anti-virus will depend on the version of the installed application, as well as on the degree of infection of the computer with viruses.
Instructions
Step 1
Perhaps some antivirus is already installed on your computer, but you are not entirely sure about its reliability, and it seems to you that computer malfunctions could be caused by some particularly nosy worm or virus. The simplest thing you can do with this is to go to the page www.drweb.ru and download the free utility DrWeb CureIt. In fact, this is the same antivirus that is able to completely and thoroughly scan your computer for unwanted guests. The program is free and can be installed even on infected computers
Step 2
Go to the site and find the big green button "Free Download DrWeb CureIt" on it, click on it. In the next window you will be asked to fill in the data in the name and email address fields. After you read the warning that DrWeb CureIt is installed for free on only one home computer, you will be shown a Download button. Download the file and run it with a double click of the mouse. The program will offer to switch to protected mode, if you are going to continue working at the computer during the test, click the "No" button. Doctor Web will automatically start a shallow scan of the system, but if you want to scan your computer completely, click the "Stop" button, select "Full scan" and start it.
Step 3
If the test results convince you of the need to install the full version of the program, then it is better to download it from the manufacturer's website. The Doctor Web installation file is lightweight, but in this case you will pay for the license directly to the developer, bypassing intermediate links. After paying for the license, you will receive by e-mail the serial key number, which must be entered during the installation process. Remove any third-party antivirus programs already on your computer before installing. It is better to do this with a special program capable of deleting application entries from the registry. For example, Revo Uninstaller.
Step 4
Start the installation of Doctor Web by double-clicking on the installation file. Select the directory for installing the program. If you don't know much about this, just accept the settings that are offered to you during the installation. Doctor Web is developed by Russian programmers, so it is enough just to carefully read everything that will appear on the screen during installation. When the program asks you for the serial number, enter the one that was sent to you by mail. After the installation is complete, restart your computer.
Step 5
Doctor Web is installed. First of all, let it update, new viruses appear on the network daily and even hourly. Only an antivirus with the latest database can effectively protect your computer from pests.
