Dr.Web Process Heuristic Behavioral Analyzer is designed to protect against unknown threats. "Almost 90% of the real threats that annoy users are various Trojans. The Winlock, Encoder, Inject, Exploit families are heard today not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders. Algorithms for detecting them by means of Dr.Web Process Heuristic technology are based on many years of knowledge about the behavior of representatives of various groups of malicious programs in the system, which allows you to almost instantly neutralize the threat - before the computer and its user can be seriously damaged, the company emphasized. - Due to the similarity in behavior of many malware programs, Dr.Web Process Heuristic detects those that are still unknown to Dr.Web.

The possibilities of parental control have been significantly expanded: profiles have been implemented, which allows you to set component settings for each of the users who have access to the computer. You can not manually change parental control settings if, for example, children and adults use the computer one by one. In addition, the ability to block the operation of various devices has been added: from flash drives to COM/LPT ports.

The agent notification system has been significantly redesigned - the most important alerts now cannot go unnoticed. It also became possible to receive notifications by e-mail.

A proactive protection feature has been added that allows you to flexibly monitor system security. The user himself can determine whether to allow or deny access to the system object, hosts file, disk sectors, etc. Such control avoids conflicts when installing third-party software or OS updates, while the system remains protected.

Link checking by the SpIDer Gate web monitor and parental controls can now be done through a cloud service that determines whether the site is secure and not in the category of resources not recommended for visiting.

Significant changes have affected the Dr.Web Anti-rootkit Service module, a universal subsystem for treating active and complex threats. The subsystem of background scanning and neutralization of active threats using this module is implemented. While resident in memory, the subsystem scans startup objects, running processes and modules, the system BIOS of the computer, etc.

The Dr.Web Security Space installation file has been completely redesigned: it has been implemented to counter active threats that purposefully prevent the installation of an antivirus. However, the installation scan is no longer performed and no reboot is required when the installation is complete (unless a firewall installation is selected).
