Anti-Virus Scanning of Stations

Anti-virus scanning can be launched by the station user or by the administrator from the Control Center:

•Local scanning by users. May be initiated by the station user using the GUI of Dr.Web software or via the command line (in Windows, Linux). This type of scanning is performed by the Dr.Web Scanner component. While its configuration can be managed by the administrator in the Control Center, it can only be launched locally on the station. The parameters are described in the Administrator Manuals on managing stations.

•Remote scanning by the administrator. May be initiated from the Control Center by the anti-virus network administrator. Remote scanning may also be done according to a schedule. This type of scanning is performed by the Dr.Web Agent Scanner component. The parameters are specified for a specific scan and are not saved and reused in subsequent scans. Instructions on launching a remote scan and configuring its parameters are provided in the next sections.
