Press Release Body = Doctor Web, Ltd. announces the beta-testing of the new product
protecting Windows workstations from viruses and unsolicited mail (spam). The mail
filtering module SpIDer Mail® now integrates a spam filter based on Vade Retro®
technology from Goto Software, a French company with more than 5 year experience in
anti-spam development.

All users willing to try the new functionality of Dr.Web anti-virus can register as
beta-testers and explore the advantages of the spam-filtering technology. SpIDer
Mail, being as always light, efficient and transparent to the user, is now
integrated with Vade Retro anti-spam filter, thus protecting the client\'s mailbox
from not just dangerous but from unsolicited mails as well.

The anti-spam module has several advantages.

* The unique technology allowing to detect up to 97% of spam. Up to 80% of
unsolicited e-mails are filtered by headers only, which increases substantially
its productivity and decreases dependency of the anti-spam technology on the
language of the message;
* compact anti-spam module - the size of the Dr.Web distribution size became
heavier by 1 MB only;
* easy settings which can be understood even by computer beginners;
* ability to filter mail traffic immediately after it is installed and enabled,
without any previous teaching of the anti-spam;
* support of POP3 and IMAP;
* independence from any mail client.

An anti-spam solution has been long awaited by many of Dr.Web users. To meet the
market requirements, finding a good anti-spam technology was not enough. It was
really important to assure the cooperation with a professional team which would
guarantee a continuous customers support, with a real-time reaction to numerous
spammers tricks. It was also important to keep a certain technological balance with
a newly integrated technology to preserve some specific trends of Dr.Web Anti-virus
- compactness, simplicity, high technology level, computer resource sparing.
Integration of the Vade Retro anti-spam technology into Dr.Web Anti-virus for
Windows did not break this balance.

\"We plan to come out shortly with a highly efficient anti-spam solution based on
Dr.Web for Windows workstations. The results of the internal testing of Vade Retro
technology, both on servers and client stations proved that our choice to establish
a strategic partnership with Goto Software was the right one, - commented Boris
Sharov, the CEO of Doctor Web, Ltd. - The agreement we have recently signed with the
French company allows us to use the unique Vade Retro technology in practically all
Dr.Web products designed to protect E-mail messaging. We are sure that our users
will appreciate the high technology level of this anti-spam, the original approach
to spam detection issue, the speed of reaction of the French team to new waves of
spam. What is the most important for us is that we saw in the French team a truly
professional attitude to the work they are dedicated to and their ability to
promptly act in their customers\' interests.\"
