OREANDA-NEWS. October 06, 2010. Doctor Web — the leader on the Russian anti-virus service market — announced introduction of a new delivery format for the Dr.Web anti-virus service by means of the RentSoft platform. The platform designed by the Rentsoft company allows providers to offer the Dr.Web anti-virus service to their customers without deploying Dr.Web AV-Desk.

The RentSoft platform provides management of subscription packages, user transactions and collection of fee and Internet show-cases for selecting and managing subscriptions. Therefore providers cooperating with Rentsoft get an opportunity to provide the service without making any effort – it takes three hours for the provider’s programmer to integrate its information system with the RentSoft platform.

Since September the Dr.Web anti-virus service is accessible over the RentSoft to users of five telecom providers from different cities in Russia. A customer can select one of service packages and the most convenient way to pay for it. Technical support and updating of virus databases are provided free of charge by Doctor Web.

About Dr.Web AV-Desk

Doctor Web was the first anti-virus vendor that offered an anti-virus as a service on the Russian market.

Deployment of Dr.Web AV-Desk allows subscribers of a service provider to use Dr.Web anti-virus as a service: choose a desired subscription period, renew their subscriptions automatically and therefore plan how much they are going to spend on anti-virus security. Providing an anti-virus as a service ensures its instant delivery and easy management of a subscription for home users and business customers. Dr.Web AV-Desk was created in 2007. The number of service providers that deliver the Dr.Web anti-virus service in different regions of Russia and also in the Ukraine, France, Spain, Netherlands, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria and Estonia exceeds 250. Following results shown by the service in 2007 it was named the best product-service by PC Magazine Russia. In September 2008 Dr.Web AV-Desk was awarded the large golden medal of the Siberian Fair as an original technical and telecom solution.
