Parameters that are not supported when scanning stations running Unix-like OSs and macOS are given in square brackets [ ]. Parameters that are not supported when scanning stations running Android OS are given in brackets ( ). |
In the General section, you can configure the following parameters of remote anti-virus scanning performed by Dr.Web Agent Scanner:
•In the drop-down list, select the scope of the scan:
▫Scan all disks—scan all available local drives.
▫Scan specified paths—scan only the specified paths.
In the Paths selected for scan field, specify paths to be scanned (how to specify paths is detailed 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.
•Set the (Scan boot sectors) flag for Dr.Web Server-based Scanner to scan boot sectors. Both boot sectors of logical drives and main boot sectors of physical drives are scanned.
•Set the [(Scan programs that run on startup)] flag to scan files that are 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 storage media such as floppy or CD/DVD disks, flash drives, etc.
•Set the Use heuristic analysis flag for Dr.Web Server-based Scanner to scan for unknown threats using the heuristic analyzer. Note that false positives are possible in this mode.
•Set the Follow symbolic links flag to follow symbolic links when scanning.
•Set the [(Interrupt scanning when switching to battery mode)] flag to stop the anti-virus scan when the user computer switches to battery power.
•Set the [(Disable network while scanning)] flag to disable network and internet connections during the scanning process.
•Set the Archives flag to search for threats in files within archives.
•Set the (Email files) flag to scan mailboxes.
•Set the Installation packages flag to scan program installation packages.
•In the [(Scan priority)] drop-down list, select the priority of the scan process relative to the computing resources of the operating system.
•In the [(Load level of computer resources)] drop-down list, select the maximum allowed load of computer resources to be utilized by Dr.Web Server-based Scanner when scanning. In the absence of other tasks, computer resources are used to the maximum.
|
The Load level of computer resources option has no effect on the actual resource load when performing a 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 while scanning. Integers from 0 to 32 are allowed. 0 means use all available cores. If you are configuring a group of stations, please note that this parameter has an absolute value, not a percentage of the total number of available cores. Because of this, the same value may lead to a different relative load on stations with different numbers of processor cores.
•In the [(Processor cores to use (%))] drop-down list, specify the percentage of cores used to the total number of cores available.
•In the [(Actions after scan)] drop-down list, select which action will be automatically applied when the scan is completed:
▫do nothing—perform no actions on the user computer after the scan is completed.
▫shutdown station—shut down the user computer after the scan is completed. Before shutting down the computer, Dr.Web Agent Scanner applies the specified actions to detected threats.
▫reboot station—restart the user computer after the scan is completed. Before restarting the computer, Dr.Web Agent Scanner applies the specified actions to detected threats.
▫suspend station.
▫hibernate station.
