Dr.Web for Kerio Control firewall uses virus databases to detect malicious software. These databases contain details and signatures for all viruses and malicious programs known at the moment of the plug-in release. However modern computer viruses are characterized by the high-speed evolvement and modification. More than that, within several days and sometimes hours, new viruses emerge which can infect millions of computers around the world. To mitigate the risk of infection during the licensed period, Doctor Web provides you with regular updates to virus databases and plug-in components.

A special component Dr.Web Updater is used to update virus databases. Updater is a part of Dr.Web for Kerio Control firewall and can be installed via the drweb-updater packet of the installation archive. It is started automatically by configuration daemon configd and checks the availability, downloads and installs updates every 30 minutes.
