Dr.Web Scanning Engine |
|
Dr.Web Scanning Engine is designed to search for viruses and other malicious objects in files and boot records (MBR—Master Boot Record, VBR—Volume Boot Record) of disk devices. The component loads Dr.Web Virus-Finding Engine into memory and starts it as well as loads Dr.Web virus databases used by the engine to detect threats. The scanning engine operates in daemon mode, as a service that receives requests for scanning file system objects from other Dr.Web Mail Security Suite components (these are Dr.Web File Checker and Dr.Web Network Checker and, potentially, Dr.Web MeshD). If Dr.Web Scanning Engine and Dr.Web Virus-Finding Engine are absent or unavailable, no antivirus scanning is performed on this host (except when Dr.Web Mail Security Suite contains the Dr.Web MeshD component, whose settings define a connection to local cloud hosts providing scanning engine services).
