Industry: Telecommunications

Press Release Summary: Doctor Web, Ltd. has got another URL - www.av-desk.com.The
first Internet-service of the company - Dr.Web AV-DeskTM- has got its own web-site.


Press Release Body: Illegal software is a huge problem worldwide. Most home PC users
surfing the web have not realized that a licensed program is the result of the hard
work by a development team and such a work must be paid for. Unfortunately, low
living standards of many netizen do not allow them purchasing licensed software but
one can hardly do without a licenced anti-virus in the World Wide Web. So our task
was to create an anti-virus available to anyone. The solution came as the Internet
service - Dr.Web AV-Desk TM. It turned out that if an anti-virus can be obtained
from a service provider, the price will be acceptable.

In this case delivering anti-virus and anti-spam protection doesn't end up with
installation of the programme for trained staff of a provider and anti-virus vendor
monitor viral activities and are always ready to assist a user who has become a
target of an attack but doesn't have required knowledge to deal with it on their
own. Dr.Web AV-Desk administrator always has a clear picture of malicious activities
and can easily pinpoint main attack vectors and user PC vulnerabilities. Overall
stats on viral activities in networks of provider companies are displayed as
scrolling text on the web-site of the service.

"As we observed trends of the anti-virus market, it came to us that we could use
another way to deliver our product to customers and decided on creating an Internet
service instead of a CD box - Doctor Web, Ltd. CEO Boris Sharov comments on the
launch of the new web-site - After the decision had been made it amazed even us how
obvious the idea was. Delivering a service and providing protection from threats
that come with the service appear to be inseparable, naturally it becomes a task
for a provider. And as we were advancing with the project we also marveled at
skills of our developers who in 2002 managed to create an application that turned
out to be relevant in 2008".

Basically the new web-site aims at ISP and other service providers including those
that deliver security services. It provides detailed information about the service
and promotion assets. The site can also be used to contact Doctor Web, Ltd.
technical specialists.
