•View component statistics and list of detected threats.
•Configure the following parameters of the file system monitor:
▫Reaction to detected threats.
▫List of objects excluded from scanning.
Managing Operation of the File System Monitor
You can start and stop the file system monitor SpIDer Guard and view statistics on its operation on the special page of Dr.Web for Linux. To access the page, click SpIDer Guard on the main page.
Figure 13. SpIDer Guard management page
On the page for monitoring management, the following information is displayed:
•State of the file system monitor SpIDer Guard (enabled or disabled) and details on errors if they occurred during the component operation.

▫Number of detected and neutralized threats.
To enable monitoring, if disabled, click Enable. To disable monitoring, if enabled, click Disable.
