For anyone running a Telegram group, Rose (@MissRose_bot) is the better pick: one free bot covers warnings, mutes and bans, keyword filters, anti-flood, a welcome captcha and federations that carry a single ban across every chat you own, and 2.3 million people use it monthly. Dr.Web (@DrWebBot) is not a group manager: it is the antivirus vendor's own scanner, running files and links through Dr.Web Cloud, and it cannot warn, mute or ban anyone. Add Dr.Web beside Rose when members share files and you want each one checked for malware — quiet mode keeps it silent until it finds a real threat.

The most widely used free group manager: warns, mutes and bans, word filters, welcome messages with captcha, anti-flood and federations for networks of chats. English and dozens of languages, 2.3 million monthly users.

The genuine official bot of Doctor Web, a long-established Russian antivirus vendor — send it a file or link in a private chat or a group and it scans for malware and phishing using Dr.Web's own cloud engine.
Rose is ahead: 88 against 83 out of 100 for Dr.Web. Rose wins on functionality, popularity & trust, freshness. Dr.Web wins on usability, safety & privacy, no intrusive ads. Both are free to use.
