Dr web anti virus against the trojan hunter

Asked By sujan jak 0 points N/A Posted on - 06/26/2013

I had recently decided Dr web antivirus as my program for anti-virus.

Do you have an experience with this program?

 

Is dr web as good as anti-trojan?

 

The Trojan Hunter database has more ways dealing with Trojans but I do need an extra AT. I think the drweb antivirus database is also quite good but probably not as extensive as KAV or RAV.  

 

I have only trialled it but I thought it was very good. It hasn't performed very well in some recent AV tests that I have seen on this board though.

 

I don't know if that is something to be concerned about.

 

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Dr web anti virus against the trojan hunter

Hello Sujan,

Dr. Web is an above average anti-virus. While being simple to use and something which requires no installation it can be helpful in situations when your PC is already infected.

I have always been a proponent of layered security and have been against maintaining multiple anti-virus software.

You may consider switching to KAV or RAV or Avast anti-virus, but my suggestion would be installing an anti-spyware/malware software as well, I have found Malware bytes to be good with a decent detection rate.

This way you are not relying on one software for protection and the approach also provides a better sense of security.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Mclean Buono
