The constant system protection is carried out by a component SpIDer Guard. It resides in the internal device memory and checks all files as they are modified and saved.
Enable constant protection
On the first launch of the application, the constant protection is enabled automatically after you accept the License Agreement. To disable or re-enable it, tap the SpIDer Guard section of the main screen.
When SpIDer Guard is enabled, it begins protecting the file system of the device. It remains active even if you close the application.
If a security threat is detected, the list of detected threats will appear. This list can be closed only when you apply an action to every threat. On the lock screen notification on detected threats will appear. On tapping the notification, the threat list appears.

SpIDer Guard stops when the internal device memory is cleared. To restore constant anti-virus protection, reopen Dr.Web. |
SpIDer Guard settings
To access the Dr.Web settings, open the application menu on the main screen and tap Settings. To configure SpIDer Guard, perform the following actions on the settings screen (see Figure 3):
| • | To enable check of files in archives, select the Files in archives check box on the SpIDer Guard section. |
|
By default, the archives check is disabled. Enabling the check of archives can influence the system performance and increase the battery power consumption. Anyway, disabling the archives check do not decrease the protection level because SpIDer Guard checks installation *.apk and *.bar files regardless of the Files in archives parameter value. |
| • | To enable/disable the detection of adware and riskware (including hacktools and jokes), tap More options on the SpIDer Guard section, then select/clear the Adware and Riskware check boxes. |
Statistics
Dr.Web registers the events related to SpIDer Guard operation (enable/disable, internal device memory and installed applications check results, threats detection). The application actions are displayed on the Actions section of the Statistics screen.
