Updating Dr.Web Agents in Mobile Mode

If a user computer, laptop or mobile device hasn't connected to Dr.Web Server for a long time, it is recommended that you set Dr.Web Agent on the station to mobile mode, to ensure that it receives timely updates from Dr.Web GUS.

warning

The mobile mode is available in the Dr.Web Agent settings if it is allowed in the Control Center, in Anti-virus Network → Permissions → <operating_system> → General → Change Dr.Web Agent configuration (for Windows OS) or Run in mobile mode (for other operating systems).

In the mobile mode, Dr.Web Agent tries to connect to Dr.Web Server three times and, if unsuccessful, performs an update from the GUS. Dr.Web Agent keeps trying to find Dr.Web Server, once in several minutes.

In the mobile mode, Dr.Web Agent is disconnected from Dr.Web Server. All changes made to the settings of such a station on Dr.Web Server will take effect only after the mobile mode is switched off for this Dr.Web Agent and it is reconnected to Dr.Web Server.

info

In the mobile mode, only virus databases are updated.

 

In the mobile mode, the Dr.Web Agent operation is not limited in time, but the virus databases are updated from GUS only until the expiration date of the station license key. The information about the license key is saved by Dr.Web Agent the last time it connected to Dr.Web Server (the license key itself is stored on Dr.Web Server).

See the description of the Dr.Web Agent mobile mode settings in the User Manual.
