I heard some praises to this one, but never have tried it myself.
Dr.Web has done all the "dirty work" for me for the past 4
years. Never had any problems with the virii.

Well, glad you managed it:-)

Actually, if you run Spider it will do it automatically, no extra
steps needed. And since Spider uses the same virus database
file as the Dr.Web program itself, no problems are forseen...
OTOH, if you prefer not to run Spider, you can apparently have
GetRight automatically call Dr.Web after each download. In my
own copy of GetRight (it's version 3.2) it's done on the
Preferences-->Advanced tab. There you can enter the path to
Dr.Web executable: either the GUI one (drweb32w.exe) or the
console one (drwebwcl.exe). Thus on each download Dr.Web
will be launched with the downloaded filename as the
parameter. This does the trick. If you furthermore need some
kind of notification like
filename : tested -- OK
apart from the Dr.Web standard "negative" report (it reports
infected, but just says nothing about all the rest by default)
you'll probably need to specify this or that commandline switch
together with the name of Dr.Web's executable. The
information on the commandline switches supported is available
from the online help of the program (it's in English).

Dr.Web has always been one of the fastest scanners available.
It uses it's own algorithm of checking files. This results in the
situation when it needs even less time to scan your whole HDD
_with_ all the possible bells and whistles (like heuristic analysis
and deep scan) then, say, NAV _without_ these options...

Thought for the day:
When working toward the solution of a problem, it always helps
if you know the answer. Provided, of course, that you know
there IS a problem.
