Attention!

The Updater component (drwebupw.exe) may be launched just on the completion of the plug-in installation by selecting the corresponding checkbox at the last step of installation. This component updates the scanning engine (drweb32.dll) and virus databases (*.vdb).

 

Dr.Web for Qbik WinGate 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.

The Updater component of Dr.Web for Qbik WinGate helps you download the updates via Internet and automatically installs them.

For computers without access to the Internet, you can configure updates from the central storage of update files.
