3.3.2. Anti-Virus Network

Select the Network item in the main menu of the Dr.Web Control Center. The control menu in the left part of the window is used to view and edit information in the opened window.

Hierarchical list

In the middle part of the window there is a hierarchical list of the anti-virus network. The list (catalog) represents the tree structure of the anti-virus network elements. The nodes in this structure are groups and workstations within these groups.

You can perform the following through the hierarchical list elements:

Left-click the the name of the corresponding element to open the control menu (left part of the window) of a group or workstation.

Left-click the icon of the group to see the contents of a group.

 

To select several elements of the hierarchical list, press and hold CTRL or SHIFT during selection.

 

The appearance of the icon depends on the type and status of this element (see table below).

crossed computer icon

Anti-virus software on the station is uninstalled.

 

If station or group has a personal settings (or group includes stations with personal settings), this group or station has a sign over its icon in the hierarchical list. E.g., if an available workstation with installed anti-virus software has a personal settings, its icon looks as follows: .

To display icons with personal settings, select the Tree settings item on the toolbar and set the Display personal settings flag.

 

Management of the anti-virus network catalog elements is carried out via the toolbar of the hierarchical list.

Toolbar

The toolbar of the hierarchical list contains the following elements:

General. Manage the general parameters of the hierarchical list. Select the corresponding item in the drop-down list:

Remove selected objects. Remove an item(s) from the hierarchical list. Select the item(s) in the list and click Remove selected objects.

Edit. Opens settings of the station or group in the right pane of the Dr.Web Control Center.

Become primary. Determine the selected group as primary for all workstations in it.

Set a primary group for the stations. Assign a primary group for selected workstations. If a group is selected in the hierarchical list instead of workstations, the specified primary group will be assigned to all workstations from this group.

Merge stations. Join workstations under a single account in the hierarchical list. It can be used if a workstation had been registered under several accounts (see p. Merging Stations).

Remove personal settings. Remove individual settings of selected objects. Settings of the parent group will be used. All workstations inside a group will also have their settings removed.

Import key. Set a key for workstation or group.

Send message. Send notifications to users of workstations (see Sending Notifications to the Users).

Uninstall Dr.Web Agent. Remove the Agents and anti-virus software from the selected workstation(s) or group(s).

Install Dr.Web Enterprise Agent. Open the Network scanner for Agent installation to the selected stations. This option is enabled only if new approved stations or stations with deinstalled Agent are selected.

Restore deleted stations. Allows to restore stations deleted earlier (see also p. Removing and Restoring Stations). This option is active only if stations from the Deleted subgroup of the Status group are selected.

Add a station or a group. Add a new element of anti-virus network. Click the corresponding item in the drop-down menu:

Add station. Add a new station (see Creation of a New User Account).

Add group. Add a new group (see Creating and Deleting Groups).

Data Export. Save common data about workstations in the anti-virus network to a CSV, HTML or XML file. Select the file format in the drop-down menu.

Change group visibility settings. Change the appearance of groups in the list. Select one of the following in the drop-down list (the icon of the group will change, see table above):

Hide group - means that the group will not be displayed in the hierarchical list.

Hide if empty - means that the group will not be displayed if the group is empty (does not contain any workstations).

Show - means that the group will always be displayed in the hierarchical list.

Managing components. Manage the components on the workstation. Select the necessary action in the drop-down menu:

Update all components. Update all installed components of the anti-virus, e.g., when the Agent has not been connected to the Server for a long time, etc. (see also p. Manual Updating of the Dr.Web ESS Components).

Update failed components. Force synchronization of the components that failed to update.

Interrupt running components. Stop all active scans at the station. For more details about termination of scanning processes of a certain type, see Terminating Running Components by Type.

Scan. Scan stations in one of the modes, selected in the drop-down menu (see also Launching Scan on Station):

Dr.Web Scanner for Windows. Express scan. In this mode the following objects are scanned:

main memory (RAM),

boot sectors of all disks,

autorun objects,

root directory of the boot sector,

root directory of the Windows OS installation disk,

system directory of the Windows OS,

My documents folder,

temporary directory of the system,

temporary directory of the user.

Dr.Web Scanner for Windows. Complete scan. In this mode all hard disks and removable disks (including the boot sectors) will be fully scanned.

Dr.Web Scanner for Windows. Custom scan. In this mode you will be able to choose files and folders to scan.

Dr.Web Enterprise Scanner for Windows. In this mode the scan will be done via the Dr.Web Enterprise Scanner.

Dr.Web Enterprise Scanner for Mac OS X. To scan stations, operate under Mac OS X family, with specified parameters.

Dr.Web Enterprise Scanner for Unix. To scan stations, operate under UNIX system-based OS, with specified parameters.

Tree settings. Adjust the appearance of the list:

for groups:

All groups membership show a station in all groups it is a member of (only for groups under the white folder icon, see Table above). If the flag is set, the station will be shown in all member groups. If the flag is cleared, the station will be shown only in the top white folder.

Show hidden groups show all groups included in the anti-virus network. If you clear the flag, all empty groups (not containing stations) will be hidden. It may be convenient to remove extra data, for example, when there are many empty groups.

for stations:

Show station ID show unique identifiers of stations in the hierarchical list.

Show station name show names of stations in the hierarchical list, if such are given.

Show station address show IP-addresses of stations in the hierarchical list.

Show station server show names or addresses of Enterprise Servers to which stations are connected.

for all elements:

Display personal settings enables/disables marker on icon of workstations and groups which shows whether individual settings are present.

Show descriptionsenables/disables showing of groups and stations descriptions (the descriptions are set in the properties of an element).

Property Pane

The property pane shows the properties and settings of workstations.

To display the property pane

1.To display the attributes, click the General Edit element of the Toolbar.

2.A pane with properties of the station will be opened in the right pane of the Dr.Web Control Center. This panel contains the following settings: General, Configuration, Groups, Location. For more details about this settings see p. Management of Stations Configuration.
