Scanning Types
According to schedule, it is possible to perform the following types of scanning:
•Express scan—scan of critical system objects that are at high risk to be compromised (boot records, system files, and so on).
•Full scan—scan of all file system objects available for the user under whom Dr.Web for Linux is started.
•Custom scan—scan of file system objects or other special objects specified by the user.
Starting Scanning
Scanning is started automatically according to the set schedule. Start of the scanning is performed by:
1.The graphical interface itself if it runs when the scanning starts.
2.The notification agent if the graphical interface in unavailable when the scanning starts.
When scheduled scanning starts, the graphical interface for management automatically starts (if it is not launched yet), the created task is added to the queue which contains all scanning tasks of the current session: complete tasks, tasks in progress, and pending tasks. You can view the list of tasks and manage them on the scan task management page.
