Seems it was discussed on DrWeb forum. Basically the issue is caused by the fact that cron is not able to give a HUP or restart signal to DrWeb service. That leads to a situation where cron thinks that the schedule didn't happen correctly and thus cron tries to inform the drweb user for this incident.

If you want to disable Dr.Web notifications, please follow this KB article - http://kb.odin.com/en/7023
