Dr.Web Industrial for Linux consists of the following components:
Component
|
Description
|
Scanner
|
A component which performs scanning of file system objects (files, directories, boot records) at user request or according to the schedule to detect threats. The user can start scanning both from a graphical mode or the command line.
|
SpIDer Guard
|
A resident mode component that tracks file operations (such as creating, opening, closing, and launching). It sends requests to the Scanner to scan the contents of new and modified files, as well as executable files when programs are launched. It works with the OS file system using the fanotify system mechanism. When using the fanotify system mechanism, the monitor can operate in an enhanced mode, blocking access to not yet checked files (all types or executables only) until the scan is completed. By default, the enhanced monitoring mode is disabled.
|
Scanning Engine
|
A core component of the anti-virus solution. It is used by Scanner to detect viruses and malicious programs as well as to analyze suspicious behavior.
|
Virus databases
|
An automatically updated database containing information about known threats and used by the scanning engine to detect and cure them.
|
Updating component
|
A component which automatically downloads updates of virus databases and scanning engine from Doctor Web update servers (both scheduled and on demand).
|
Graphical management interface
|
A component which provides a window graphical interface for management of Dr.Web Industrial for Linux. It allows users to run scanning of file system objects in the graphical mode, manage operation of SpIDer Guard, view the quarantine contents, start receiving updates, and also configure Dr.Web Industrial for Linux operation.
|
Notification agent
|
A component which works in a background mode. It displays pop-up notifications on events and Dr.Web Industrial for Linux indicator in the notification area, runs scheduled scanning. By default it is launched when a user session starts in the desktop environment.
|
