I have updated the blog for DrWeb here and also provided a downloadable .imgPTN23 image file which can be used by E2B and agFM for UEFI64 booting. It seems however that the updates are not persistent even using a flash drive made with their utility!
1. Make a 800MB FAT32 partition on a USB drive OK 2. Download and run the DrWeb USB creator utility drweb-livedisk-900-usb.exe OK 3. Run it to extract the files to the USB drive OK 4. Boot the USB drive on a real system - this prepares it OK 5. Refresh the updates - reboot and check updates are persistent NOK
Antivirus updates and a text file on the desktop are NOT saved after a reboot. When I add the "persistent" parameter to the kernel boot options, I get the same result as when testing in a virtual machine.
Moreover, I tried it now without the .mnu file (only the file \ _ISO \ MAINMENU \ drweb.isopersist and the file \ drweb-rw). This also does not work for E2B (MBR) nor for agFM (EFI64)
Perhaps the developers have changed something, but now the persistent function doesn't work.

doh! I tried it today and you are correct - it is not persistent!
DeleteSo developers have messed up.
