Dr.Web withdrew from AV tests such as Virus Bulletin VB100% around 2008, stating that they believe that virus scans on viruses are different subject from that of real world malware attacks. ==Malware discoveries== ==Controversies== Staunch anti-adware policy led to software developers complaining that Dr.Web treated their virus free applications as a "virus". When developers tried contacting Dr.Web to resolve the issue, developers received no response.
