Key Features Dr Web Cureit
The beauty of Doctor Web Curate lies largely in its simplicity. Although the scanner does not require installation, it has many of the configuration options and comprehensive scanning capabilities you would expect from full version Doctor Web antivirus.
Dr Web Cureit is based on an ICSA certified scan engine that provides reliable detection. The program is offered as an executable file that only needs to be double-clicked to run, and in many cases this is the only viable solution.
After all, as you know, viruses or spyware often try to block the installation of a new antivirus or PC protection application, so this is really a big advantage.
Dr Web Cureit does not conflict with any of the antivirus solutions already installed on your computer. The utility's appeal also lies in the fact that the scanner is available in a huge variety of languages, comes with an excellent help file, and provides you with plenty of statistics about the scan performed.
After launch, Doctor Web Curate will automatically detect the language of your operating system and will configure the scanner interface accordingly (if the local language is not supported, then English will be enabled).

The application is not too resource-heavy, so you can continue working while the scan is in progress, although this is not recommended until the entire scanning process is complete.
