Dr. Web: CureIt or AV?

I’ve been using Dr. Web CureIt for many years, but have not tried it’s antivirus at all. It makes me wonder now if it’s any good. I used to have a license worth a year sent to me annually for free (if I remember correctly, it’s from a contest I won, which was to provide me with a license for three or so years). But I let it all waste. Has anyone tested it? Is it any good?

I know that they have a high detection rate, their zero day could be better, but Defence+ basically nullifies that weakness.

I’ve heard great things about their rescue disk.

Dr.Web AV is high detection but it detect some FP too. (As seen in AV-comparatives previously report)

I think all av’s have instances of fp’s. the only difference is the frequency of occurrence. ;D
