Checking Updater Functionality

Top  Previous  Next

The updating module drwupsrv.exe automatically starts after the installation of Dr.Web. It updates the anti-virus engine drweb32.dll, virus databases and other elements except the application components.

To make sure that an update was successful:

1.Depending on the version of the operating system, run the Tasks command to open the %WINDIR%\Tasks folder or open the Task Scheduler.

2.Check that a task for Dr.Web has been created and it is working correctly (the return code in the Last Result field must be 0x0).

3.Open the updater log file %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Doctor Web\Logs\dwupdater.log (if you work in Windows Server 2003) or %PROGRAMDATA%\Doctor Web\Logs\dwupdater.log (if you work in Windows Server 2008) and make sure that there are no errors in it.
