Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite can perform the automatic launch of scheduled scanning of the specified list of the file system objects according to the indicated schedule.
|
If Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite is operating under the server control in centralized protection mode and launch of scanning on demand is prohibited on the centralized protection server, this Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite option is unavailable. |
According to schedule, it is possible to perform the following types of scanning:
•Express scan—scan critical system objects that are at high risk to be compromised (boot records, system files, and so on).
•Full scan—scan all local file system objects available to the user on whose behalf Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite was started.
•Custom scan—scan file system objects or other special objects specified by the user.
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.
