Settings that are not supported in check of stations under Unix-like and macOS are included into square brackets [ ]. Settings that are not supported in check of stations under Android OS are included into brackets ( ). |
In the General section, you can configure the following settings of the anti-virus check performed by Dr.Web Agent Scanner:
•In the drop-down list, select one of the check modes:
▫Scan all disks—perform the anti-virus check on all available local drives.
▫Scan specified paths—perform the anti-virus check by specified paths only.
In the Paths selected for scan field, specify the list of checked paths (how to specify paths is described in the Exclusions section).
▪To add a new line, click 
, and specify a path in the new line.
▪To remove a path from the list, click 
next to the corresponding line.
•The Scan boot sectors flag so Dr.Web Agent Scanner will check boot sectors of the drives. Both boot sectors of logical drives and main boot sectors of physical drives are scanned.
•The Scan programs that run on startup flag to scan files that automatically launched at operating system startup.
•See the [(Scan loading programs and modules)] flag to scan processes that are run in the RAM.
•Set the [(Scan for rootkits)] flag to enable scanning for malware that hides its presence in the system.
•Set the Scan fixed volumes flag to scan fixed hard drives (hard disk drives, etc.).
•Set the Scan removable media flag to scan all removable data storages such as floppy or CD/DVD disks, flash drives etc.
•Set the Use heuristic analysis flag so Dr.Web Agent Scanner will check for unknown viruses via the heuristic analyzer. In this mode the Scanner may give false positives though.
•Set the Follow symbolic links flag to follow symbolic links during scan.
•Set the [(Interrupt scanning when switching to battery mode)] flag to interrupt scanning when switching computer of a user to battery mode.
•Set the Disable network while scanning flag to disable network and internet connections during scanning process.
•Set the Archives flag to search for viruses in files within archives.
•Set the Email files flag to scan mailboxes.
•Set the Installation packages flag to search for viruses in packages for program installation.
•In the [(Scan priority)] drop-down list select the priority of the check process relatively computing resources of operating system.
•In the [(Load level of computer resources)] drop-down list select the maximum allowed load of resources to be utilized by Dr.Web Agent Scanner. In absence of other tasks, computer resources are used in maximum.
|
The Load level of computer resources option has no effect on the actual resources load when launching the scan on a single-processor system with one core. |
•In the [(Processor cores to use (number))] field specify the maximum number of processor cores used by the scanner. Integers from 0 to 32 are allowed. The 0 value instructs to use all available cores. If you are configuring a group of stations, please note that this parameter has an absolute value, not a percentage from the total number of available cores. Because of this, the same value may lead to different relative load of stations with different number of processor cores.
•In the (Processor cores to use (%)) drop-down list specify the percentage of used cores to the total number of available cores.
•In the (Actions after scan) drop-down list select which action will be automatically applied when the check is completed:
▫do nothing—no actions perform on user computer after the check is completed.
▫shutdown station—shut down the user computer after the check is complete. Before shutting down the computer, Dr.Web Agent Scanner applies specified actions to detected threats.
▫reboot station—restart the user computer after the check is complete. Before restarting the computer, Dr.Web Agent Scanner applies specified actions to detected threats.
▫suspend station.
▫hibernate station.
