Frequently Asked Questions
Can Dr.Web CureIt scan a computer without disabling another antivirus?
Yes, it can perform an on-demand scan while your existing antivirus remains active. This makes it useful for checking whether another security product may have missed malware without requiring you to uninstall or disable it.
Does Dr.Web CureIt provide real-time protection?
No. It is an on-demand malware removal utility rather than a full antivirus with continuous background protection. It is intended primarily for detecting and removing existing threats, so it should not be considered a replacement for real-time antivirus protection.
Why does Dr.Web CureIt need to be downloaded again for updated virus definitions?
The latest virus databases are bundled with each newly downloaded release rather than updated through the installed application. Downloading the current version ensures the scanner has the latest available detection information, with databases refreshed frequently during periods of high malware activity.
What is the difference between Dr.Web CureIt and Malwarebytes?
Dr.Web CureIt is a portable, on-demand scanner designed to detect and remove malware without installation, while Malwarebytes provides a broader security product with additional protection and security features depending on the edition. The former is therefore better suited to a quick second-opinion or emergency scan, rather than serving as a complete replacement for a full-time security solution.
