Updating Virus Databases

To mitigate the risk of infection during the licensed period, Doctor Web provides you with regular updates of virus databases and application components. The Updater component of Dr.Web helps you download the updates via Internet and automatically installs them.

You can review the information about the application version, license, virus databases and also the date, time and result of the last update on the Version section in Dr.Web Administrator Web Console.

You can start the virus databases update by clicking Start in the Update task section.

You can change parameters of the update using drwupsrv.bat file.

An updating task is created during installation of Dr.Web setting the optimal periodicity for downloading the updates from the Doctor Web update servers. You can adjust this schedule using Windows Task Scheduler:

1.Open Windows Task Scheduler.

2.Right-click the Doctor Web for MSP Update Task task and click Properties.

3.In the Doctor Web for MSP Update Task window, open the Triggers tab (or Schedule tab, if you are using Windows Server 2003) and modify the update periodicity. By default, virus databases are updated every hour.

4.Click OK.
