So, what's up with DrWeb Cureit Download?
« on: September 05, 2011, 06:23:33 PM »
So, what's up with DrWeb Cureit downloads?  Why are they so difficult?  The one time I used it last year it was like pulling teeth to get a download to go through ... straight from their website.

This weekend I tried to download it from 2 different computers with High Speed Internet (NOT my Dial Up) and had no luck.  I filled in that form, which they didn't even used to require before, but still, no luck.

What's the secret to simply downloading DrWeb Cureit on the 1st shot?
What about downloading it from CNet Download.com?
Would that be more likely to be easier to donwload?
The thing is though, if I did manage to download it form CNet Download.com, would it be up to date with the latest definitions?  Or would it be quite possible to be weeks or even months out of date?

Hi Chim and Pondus,

Another good and reliable download address for DrWebCureIT is: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Dr.Web_CureIT_d4783.html

Thanks for the links, Ponus, Polonus!
Again, the critical question:
What is likely to be the up to date status of the definitions of DrWeb Cureit if I acquire it from either of those 2 links?

Doesn't DrWeb Cureit claim to update their definitions multiple times daily?
Would the 2 links you two provided keep that pace?
Or is there a possibility of acquiring a days old, weeks old or even months old DrWeb Cureit version?
