Dr.Web Agent Interface Start and Shutdown

Top  Previous  Next

The Dr.Web Agent is started automatically after the installation and at every Windows OS load.

The Dr.Web Agent launched under Windows OS displays an icon in the Taskbar notification area  (An element of the Microsoft Windows Desktop that displays the icons of active applications and is located in the right part of the taskbar, which by default is positioned in the bottom of the desktop).

 

The Exit command of the context menu of the Agent just removes the icon from the notification area of the Taskbar. The Agent continues its operation.

 

The Agent icon is automatically shown in the notification area of the Taskbar when the Agent is launched after Windows OS start.

To display the icon (if it was removed by the Exit command) without restarting the computer, you can start the Agent interface by the following way:

For OS earlier than Windows 8: Start Programs Dr.Web Enterprise Suite Start AgentUI item.

For Windows 8 OS: Apps  (oppened via the All Apps item on the appication panel of the Start screen) menu Dr.Web Enterprise Suite section Start AgentUI item.

To run the Agent interface under account with administrative rights:

for OS earlier than Windows Vista:

1.Right-click the Start AgentUI item (see above) and select Run as option in the context menu.

2.In the opened window, enter the necessary account login and password and click OK.

3.The Agent interface will be run under specified user account.

for Windows Vista and later OS:

1.On the context menu of the Agent click Administrator.

2.In case then the UAC  (User Account Control - technology and security infrastructure introduced with Microsoft. It aims to improve the security of Microsoft Windows by limiting application software to standard user privileges until an administrator authorizes an increase or elevation. Administrator can disable UAC in the Control panel) is enabled, confirm the request to run the application with administrative rights.

3.The Agent interface will be run under administrative account.
