Isn't the case here. In my opinion, it couldn't be caused by
DrWeb:-)

It's all right to install in in the default way: by default, it installs
everything but the DOSish version.

Really? Didn't notice this also...

Second menu item from the right is "Language".
Again, FYI: help file is in English:-)

Have you rightclicked the Spider tray icon?:-)

See above:-)

If you haven't password, you just leave the options there as
they are. On updating, it will grab all the free updates
automatically.
OTOH, if you are the registered user, you have to change the
FTP url *and* specify the password. Then it will grab anything
they have on ftp for money (_including_ new releases of the
executables)...

Get it! The newer Spider is much better IMHO:-)

I told you it's the BEST!
BTW, DialogNauka has the most recent Adinf for free, too
(same license terms as with Dr.Web). The link is available at
the Russian page of their server....

It's all right. Actually, I installed everything, since I use DOSish
version, too:-)
