Hi,

I'm thinking of purchasing a new Windows VPS Hosting with Plesk & the Power Pack, however do you think I need Dr. Web Anti-Virus?

Thanks.

Hi Flesso,

It's not necessary. But you can use it on your VPS Hosting to protect it from viruses.

nope. you dont need Dr. Web AntiVirus. it is a good addon service included by swsoft but if you manage your windows VPS Hosting properly then chances of having a virus on it are quite rare.

Hello,

Just want to add that DrWeb is resource consuming service and if you are going for a W-VPS Hosting-01, it will be a burden on your VPS Hosting.

Hi,

Thanks all for your input, I've decided not to go with it judging by it's heavy usage.

Thanks again.
