Dr.Web Scanner runs an express or full scan of the entire file system or scans critical files and directories only.
Dr.Web Scanner settings for computers running operating systems of the GNU/Linux family are available in the Scanner for workstations section. This section allows to adjust the settings of the GUI version of Dr.Web Scanner. Console scanner settings are managed locally on the station.
General
On the General tab, you can configure general parameters of Dr.Web Scanner operation.
•In the Scanning time of one element field, specify the time limit for scanning a file. Value 0 means that the time period to scan one file is unlimited.
|
Scanning the contents of archives and email files and increasing the time limit for scanning a single file may slow down the system and increase the overall scanning time. |
Actions
In this section, you can configure actions that will be applied to threats detected by Dr.Web Scanner. The actions are set separately for each type of malicious and suspicious objects. These actions vary for different object types.
Possible actions
•Cure, move to quarantine if not cured. Restore the state of the object before the infection. If the object is incurable or the attempt of curing fails, the object is quarantined. The action is available only for the objects infected with a known virus that can be cured except for trojans and infected files within compound objects (archives, email files or file containers). •Cure, delete if not cured. Restore the state of the object before the infection. If the object is incurable or the attempt of curing fails, the object is deleted. The action is available only for the objects infected with a known virus that can be cured except for trojans and infected files within compound objects (archives, email files or file containers). •Move to quarantine. Move a detected threat to a special directory isolated from the rest of the system. •Delete. Delete the object that poses a threat. It is the most effective way to remove all types of threats. •Report. Notify of a threat without performing other actions. •Ignore. Skip the object without displaying notifications or performing other actions.
