Starting and Shutting Down Graphical Interface

All Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux components are automatically run by default (some of the components are run on operating system startup, others only by request from other components) and do not require user intervention in their operation.

Starting Anti-Virus in Graphics Mode

To start Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux in graphics mode, select the Dr.Web for Linux item on the Applications Menu.

You can also start Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux in graphics mode from the  command line using the drweb-gui command.

Shutting Down Anti-Virus

To shut down Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux, close the window using the standard close button on the title bar.

Внимание!

Note that service components continue their operation after Anti-virus shuts down. The same is actual for SpIDer Guard as well, but the component cannot be accessed via the indicator in the system tray. Thus, it is not recommended to close the Anti-virus window when SpIDer Guard is enabled (minimize the window instead).

 

Under normal operation, operation of all necessary service components does not require user intervention.
