Press Release Summary: Doctor Web, Ltd., a Russian developer of IT security
solutions, announces the release of a new product - Dr.Web anti-virus for Windows
Mobile.

Press Release Body: Doctor Web, Ltd., a Russian developer of IT security solutions,
announces the release of a new product - Dr.Web anti-virus for Windows Mobile.

Dr.Web anti-virus for Windows Mobile protects mobile devices - pocket PCs and
communicators - that run Windows Mobile 2003/2003 SE/5.0./6.0.

The new product protects only from viruses written specifically for wireless. Today
a number of such specific threats is very small. Their malicious capabilities do not
impose serious danger to owners of expensive gadgets. So as Doctor Web, Ltd. was
preparing for the release, it had to solve not only technical problems, but also a
moral one. \"I think that for now a virus for wireless is only a myth, a PR element,
nothing else. Of course, the mobile virus hysteria is used to increase profits of a
developer. Today there are no dangerous viruses targeting cell phones. Probably they
will emerge in the nearest future. The present viruses appear to be just a first
test.\" - Igor Daniloff, the creator of Dr.Web anti-virus says.

Given this a decision to give licenses to Dr.Web anti-virus for Windows Mobile for
free made by the company management is natural and logical.

\"The idea that users should not pay for protection from threat that do not exist
agrees with basic principles of Doctor Web, Ltd.\" - Boris Sharov, the company CEO
comments on the release - \"On the one hand, we think it immoral to sell a product
which is not quite useful yet. On the other hand, rapid development of mobile
technologies and wide application of the instant payment services will inevitably
result in emerging of more dangerous viruses for wireless. We have no doubts that
virus makers have started working on commercial viruses for mobile devices a long
time ago. These will be sophisticated Trojans and spyware. We do understand that the
threat though latent is real. That\'s why our company has developed a protection from
the possible threat. But now there are no dangerous viruses and so there is no
threat for users and by now the product is free. So any user of Dr.Web for Windows
products can get a free licence and be ready to address a threat at any moment\".

All registered users of commercial licences to Dr.Web Anti-virus for Windows, Dr.Web
for Windows. Anti-virus+Anti-spam and Dr.Web SOHO license can use Dr.Web anti-virus
for Windows Mobile free of charge since its release, as now their key files also
work with the new product. If you have not become a registered user of Dr.Web
products yet, you will be able to use Dr.Web anti-virus for Windows Mobile for free
when buying a 1, 2, or 3-year licence for any of the products listed above.
