General Information

Periodic updates of virus databases and the anti-virus engine are downloaded and installed by Updater automatically. You can view the update status and, if required, force updating on a specialized page of the Dr.Web Industrial for Linux window. Virus databases are considered outdated after a day from the moment of the last successful update. To open the update management page, click Last update on the main page.

Figure 15. Update management

The update management page displays the following information:

status of the virus databases and of the scanning engine;

information about the last successful update and the date of the next scheduled update.

To force updating, click Update. To close the update management page, select another page by clicking a corresponding button on the navigation pane.

If Dr.Web Industrial for Linux operates in a centralized protection mode, this page will be blocked.
