Frequently asked questions
Is it free?

Can it replace a real antivirus?
No. The bot scans individual files and links you send it. It cannot scan your phone or PC, prevent malware from being downloaded, or cure an infected device. For full protection, install the Dr.Web antivirus for your operating system.
Where does the scanning happen?
Files and URLs are uploaded to Dr.Web's cloud and scanned with their engine. The result comes back to you in Telegram.
Are uploaded files kept?
Dr.Web's terms describe how submitted files are processed. Review them at https://free.drweb.com/drweb+telegram/ before sending anything sensitive.
Behind the app
