Project history

Dr.Web AV-Desk is the third implementation of the software product that appeared in 2002 as a project ordered by Russian government and was implemented by the team of programmers headed by Igor Daniloff.

Our programmers had been given a very difficult and important task – developing anti-virus software for workstations and servers that would feature centralized management and function in State Election system. One of the system components (control centre) was to be deployed in Central Election Commission of Russia and another one (to protect workstations) – in regional offices of the GAS "Vybory" (Elections) network which are numbered in thousands. The project (the first public beta) was delivered to a state panel of experts at the beginning of 2003. The first installation was performed in the testing environment of “Voskhod” research institute which was the main developer of State Election system. The testing was successful and the solution was deployed in the GAS "Vybory" system in the autumn of the same year. It has been successfully performing required tasks in the system ever since.

August 19, 2004 saw another birth of the product. This time it came as a product for the anti-virus consumer market branded as Dr.Web Enterprise Suite. Soon it has become the "blue chip" among other products by Doctor Web, Ltd.

Time is passing by and the developers gave the product an unlimited potential. Now we give the software another look and see it as Dr.Web AV-Desk!
