Threats Neutralization

Viewing the list of detected threats

In case threats were 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.

For each threat in the list, the following information is displayed:

Name of the threat
Path to the file containing the threat

The type of threat detected as "not a virus" is displayed in brackets: adware, riskware, joke or hacktool program.

Performing actions over the threats

Tap the threat in the list to see the available actions and to apply one of them to the selected threat. Dr.Web allows to choose one of the following actions for detected threats:

Delete – the threat is completely removed from the internal device memory.
Move to quarantine – the threat is moved to a special folder where it is isolated from the rest of the system.

 

Attention!

If a threat is detected in an installed application, it cannot be moved to quarantine. In this case the Move to quarantine action is missing in the list of actions.

 

Ignore – the threat is temporarily ignored and no action is applied to it.
Report false positive – you can send the threat to Doctor Web anti-virus laboratory to report that it is not harmful and was identified by the anti-virus as dangerous by mistake. Enter your email in order to receive the results of the file analysis. Tap Submit.

 

Attention!

The Report false positive action is available only for the threat modifications with ".origin" postfix detected in the device system area.

 

You can set up sound notifications on threats detection, deletion or moving to quarantine. To do this, on the main screen open the application menu and tap Settings, then select the Sounds check box on the General settings section of the settings screen (see Figure 3).
