[Write any of the information. It is not critical
Serg, if the info is not crucial then why do it at all. I can understand when purchasing a product online(such as Dr.Web)but, it makes no sense for a free application. Is there any particular reason for it? It may put many users off.

If you can translate to your language with the Russian language(for Example, Google), you can see this topic http://forum.drweb.com/index.php?showtopic=302595

Marketing is about trying to promote a companies product(s) in the hope that users will trial/buy their software, doing something like this may put off many users, especially with so many phish/scams out there - some users may think this looks like a scam.
I hope marketing will reconsider this idea?

Darn it- me too . Cannot do any worse than some of the decisions marketing have made in recent years, for example; Kaspersky dumping the custom installation last year and it seems this year as well- all because some users do not know if they have a 32 or a 64bit machine. Or Mcafee a couple years ago releasing a product still in beta all because marketing wanted the product release even thought it was not ready - to fit in with their marketing campaign.

sgian-dubh: You are right. The forms filling screen looks also to me as a trying of a phishing/scam from Dr.Web.Thanks Serg. The problem i see with this is that for some users it may be there first time of hearing about Dr.Web(via cureit)and asking them to fill in a form to download a free utility seems some what bazaar, particularly if you are infected - which is the last thing you want to do if you are infected.

Dr-web cure-it is a utility that is sometimes required to download at emergency situations and the forms filling may block the users from downloading Dr.web Cure-It.
Also, this forms filling at the downloading, looks to me also as spying after users, as they are requires to insert things that mustn't to be revealed in the Internet.
They should eliminate the forms filling promptly.
As a punishment step against Dr.web, i downloading Dr.Web Cure-It from www.drweb.co.il , which is the the israeli Dr.web site, which don't requires me to filling forms at all while downloading Dr.web Cure-It.
