A user can interact with Dr.Web for Linux both in graphical mode via the component that provides a graphical management interface and from the command line (including operation via terminal emulators in graphical mode).
•To start the graphical management interface of Dr.Web for Linux, select the Dr.Web for Linux item on the Applications or run the following command in a terminal emulator:
$ drweb-gui & |
After that, if a desktop environment is available, the graphical management interface of Dr.Web for Linux is started. To run scanning upon starting the graphical interface or to start its autonomous copy, you can use this command with arguments.
•For details on how to manage Dr.Web for Linux, refer to Working from Command Line.
•For graphic desktop environments, scanning can be started from a taskbar (such as Unity Launcher on the Ubuntu OS) and from a graphical file manager (such as Nautilus). Furthermore, the application status indicator appears in the notification area of the desktop, displays pop-up notifications and provides access to the application menu. The indicator is displayed as the notification agent, which, as well as all other service components, starts automatically and its operation does not require intervention. For details, refer to Integration with Desktop Environment.
•For details on how to enable an enhanced file monitoring mode in SpIDer Guard, refer to File Monitoring Modes.

Regardless of the selected method to install Dr.Web for Linux, after the installation you need either to activate the license or install a key file if it has already been obtained, or connect Dr.Web for Linux to a centralized protection server (see Registration and Activation). Until you do that, anti-virus protection is disabled.
The mail protocol, IMAP, that is mostly used by mail clients (such as Mozilla Thunderbird) to receive email messages from an email server, works in sessions. Therefore, after adjusting operation of the SpIDer Gate monitor (enabling a previously disabled monitor, changing the mode of scanning of secure connections), it is necessary to restart the email client, so that SpIDer Gate could scan incoming email messages after adjusting its operation mode. |
