Workstations are protected by the Dr.Web anti-virus packages designed for the corresponding operating systems.
|
Protected computer with an installed anti-virus package as per its functions in the anti-virus network is called a workstation of the anti-virus network. Please note: according to its LAN functions, such computer can be both a workstation or a mobile device and a LAN server. |
Anti-virus packages are installed on protected stations and get connected to Dr.Web Server. Each station is included in one or several groups registered on this Dr.Web Server. Stations and Dr.Web Server communicate through the protocol used in the local network (TCP/IP of 4 or 6 version).
Installation
Anti-virus package can be installed on a workstation by one of the following ways:
1.Locally. Local installation is performed directly on a user’s computer or a mobile device. Installation may be implemented either by the administrator or by the user.
2.Remotely. Remote installation is performed in the Control Center through the LAN. Installation is implemented by an anti-virus network administrator. At this, user intervention is not required.
|
You can find detailed description of the anti-virus packages installation procedures on workstations in the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite Installation Manual. |
Management
When connection with the Dr.Web Server is established, the administrator is able to use the following functions implemented by the anti-virus package on a station:
•Centralized configuration of Anti-virus on workstations via the Control Center.
At this, administrator can either deny or grant user's permissions to change Anti-virus settings on stations on one's own.
•Configure the schedule for the anti-virus scans and other tasks to execute on a station.
•Get scan statistics and other information on anti-virus components operation and on stations state.
•Start and stop anti-virus scans and etc.
Update
Dr.Web Server downloads updates and distributes them to connected stations. Thus, optimal threat protection is implemented, maintained and adjusted automatically regardless of workstation users’ computer skills.
In case an anti-virus station is disconnected from the anti-virus network, Anti-virus on station uses the local copy of the settings and the anti-virus protection on a workstation retains its functionality (up to the expiry of the user’s license), but the software is not updated. If a station is allowed to use the Mobile mode, after connection with Dr.Web Server is lost, the virus databases can be updated directly from the GUS.

The principle of stations operation in the Mobile mode is described in the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite Administrator Manual. |
