Dr.Web joined the Internet censor

In its new antivirus “Dr.web Security Space 9.0”, the Russian company “Doctor Web” provided for “restricting access to sites in connection with the appeals of copyright holders who have discovered violations of their intellectual rights on the Internet.”

“In most cases, sites that illegally distribute the fruits of someone else's intellectual labor or the means of individualizing other companies on their pages also contain viruses and Trojans,” the company warns on its website.

The incorrectness of this statement is noted by Rublacklist.net : There are no data data that would confirm the dependence of the presence of viruses on the degree of legality of content.

“Doctor Web” is not the first Russian antivirus to limit the access of his customers to “dangerous sites”-in December, the largest torrent trackers were brought into the database of parental control of the Kaspersky laboratory.

In addition, Dr. Web organized its own register of prohibited sites, inviting copyright holders to complain about sites to bring them in the blacklist of the antivirus.
