Updating Mobile Dr.Web Agents

If user's computer, laptop or mobile device has no connection to Dr.Web Server for a long time, it is recommended to set Dr.Web Agent Mobile mode of operation on the station to receive updates opportunely from Dr.Web GUS.

The Mobile mode will be available in the Agent settings if the Mobile mode is allowed in the Control Center, in the Anti-virus Network → Permissions → <operating_system> → General → Run in mobile mode.

In the Mobile mode, the Agent tries to connect to the Server three times and, if unsuccessful, performs an HTTP update from the GUS. The Agent tries continuously to find the Server at interval of about a minute.

When the Agent is functioning in the Mobile mode, the Agent is not connected to Dr.Web Server. All changes made for this station at the Server, will take effect once the Agent Mobile mode is switched off and the connection with the Server is re-established.

In the mobile mode only virus databases are updated.

In the Mobile mode, the Agent operation is not limited in time, but the virus databases are updated from GUS only till the expiration date of the station license key, information on which has been saved by the Agent at last connection to the Server (the license key itself is stored on the Server).

Description of mobile mode configuration at the Agent side is given in the User Manual.
