In Russian it’s simply “Doctor Web”.

You can download from the official website.

I’ll also say that it’s better to check by booting your computer in safe mode! Because, if you don’t know, a virus is a small program that sneaks into your computer to carry out certain actions! But programs do not start in safe mode! And the virus, in this mode, is easier to catch and remove!

How to boot your computer in safe mode?

To do this, when booting or rebooting the computer, when it is just starting to turn on, you need to hold down or continuously (with an interval of about 0.5 seconds) click the F8 key.

Until a black screen appears on the monitor, as shown in the picture below (if you didn’t manage to catch this moment the first time, then restart your computer and try again):

Using the arrows on the keyboard, you need to select the line “ Safe mode" and press Enter.

Of course, you can run the check in normal mode! This is just a recommendation for the best!

Let me remind you that Dr.Web CureIt does not require installation on your computer! The utility simply starts and does its job. After which, you can simply delete it like a regular shortcut!

Regardless of what mode you do it in, now further actions the same! So, let's launch...

So, when you click the “Disarm” button, which will appear after the scan is completed on the right side of the program, all threats will be removed from your computer! After this, you can close our “doctor”.

Another important point! If, when closing Dr.Web, a small white window appears with a modification warning host file(is system file), then when asked if you allow it to be corrected, be sure to answer “Yes”!

Well, I also recorded a video for you of how I do it in real life! Watch it if you perceive the video format better.

In this case, you can use the alternative links below. The frequency of updating the program using these links is not nearly as frequent as on the official website, but, nevertheless, even a not completely recent program will allow you to get rid of most threats and, most likely, gain access to the official website of the Doctor Web company, download the most latest version and scan your computer again to eliminate all threats. I would like to note that due to the fact that the name of our site contains the word “drweb”, access to our site may be blocked by viruses. Therefore, we recommend that you save a link to a similar article on the website “In the Village with Grandfather” and in this case use it.

• You can use Dr.Web CureIt!® only to treat your home computer!
• The inability to go to the official websites of antivirus companies is one of the signs that your computer is infected with viruses.
