•Accept jobs from the server—periodically receive tasks from the administrator.

•Accept updates from the server—receive updates for Dr.Web components and virus databases. Update settings are set on the server.

•Synchronize system time with the server time—synchronize system time on your computer with the time on the central protection server. In this mode, Dr.Web periodically sets the time on you computer in accordance with the server time.

•Accumulate events—save the event data for sending it to the central protection server. The event data will be sent as soon as connection to the server is established. If the check box is not selected and connection to the server is not established, important data (for example, information on detected threats and statistics) will be lost.

•Use Mobile mode when there is no connection with the server—keep virus databases up-to-date.

If your computer is disconnected from the central protection server for a long time, it is recommended to enable the Mobile mode of Dr.Web operation in order to receive updates from the Doctor Web update servers. For that purpose, select the Use Mobile mode when there is no connection with the server check box.

The Use Mobile mode when there is no connection with the server option can be enabled or disabled only if use of this mode is allowed for this workstation in the settings of the central protection server.

In the Mobile mode, Dr.Web attempts to connect to the central protection server. After three unsuccessful attempts, it performs an update of the virus databases from Doctor Web update servers. Attempts to establish server connection are performed with an interval of about one minute.

To configure Mobile mode settings, click Configure. The Mobile mode window opens.
