Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is drweb.ru legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns drweb.ru?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for drweb.ru. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.
Correct a description, link or other detail. Submissions are reviewed before publication.
Site is live · HTTPS valid
Dr.Web is a Russian antivirus and information-security software provider. The site says it conducts antivirus work under licenses issued by Russia's State Technical Commission (later the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control) for information-protection services.
