Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers Components

For UNIX file servers protection, the following anti-virus components are provided:

General Components

SpIDer Guard (for GNU/Linux)

A file system monitor. Operates in background mode and controls file operations (such as creation, opening, closing, running) in GNU/Linux file systems. It sends to File Checker requests to scan new or changed files as well as executables of programs when they are run.

SpIDer Guard for SMB

A Samba shared directories monitor. Operates in background mode and monitors file system operations (such as creation, opening, closing, read and write operations) in the directories selected as the Samba server’s file storages. Sends content of new or modified files for scanning to File Checker. Integration with the file server is performed via VFS SMB modules that operate on Samba server side.

SpIDer Guard for NSS

A NSS (Novell Storage Services) volumes monitor. Operates in background mode and controls file system operations (such as creation, opening, closing and write operations) on NSS volumes that are mounted on the file system. Sends new or modified files for scanning to File Checker.

Dr.Web Console Scanner (can be managed on station only)

Provides detection and neutralisation of viruses on the local machine. Managed via the console command line.

Dr.Web ClamD
