I have been testing Dr. Web Light for Mac (6.0.6 downloaded from drweb.com) and I have noticed an issue that I would like to report. It is not a virus submission so I'm not sure what the best point of contact is. Where should I report this?

If this is not a top secret issue, you can write here about it.I have been testing Dr. Web Light for Mac (6.0.6 downloaded from drweb.com) and I have noticed an issue that I would like to report. It is not a virus submission so I'm not sure what the best point of contact is. Where should I report this?

Thanks!
I'lll use the product feedback form.
I do have another different question about Dr. Web Light for Mac,,,
Whenever the app checks for an update (either automatically or manually) it always seems to result in the update status field saying "Update not necessary" and then shows the time of the update check.
So, is there a way to determine the date/version of the virus definitions that are being used?
It doesn't seem like the 'virus records' field in the 'about box' is a version number but rather a count of the number of malware that Dr Web knows about...
This is what we are seeing:

No. At those link shows the real work to update the database in real time (first link) and the ability to download any virus database from your a PC and see all viral entry in it and also to see all the current updates for any desired period of time (the second link).

So, the displayed info from our app is the normal update info?

OK, so the virus info is displayed as a record count than a version number or date/time.
Sorry for the basic questions,, I am still becoming familiar with the details of Dr Web Light on Mac OS X!

The base drwtoday.vdb is changes every half hour \ hour (at least at night)
The base drwdaily.vdb is changes every day (It's absorbs the base drwtoday.vdb).
Each week created a weekly base with its number (ex. drw70071.vdb)
And then it repeats cyclically.
