Installing via Personal Installation Package

To install Dr.Web, the user must have administrative privileges.

To start the installation of Dr.Web in the background mode, enter the executable file name and specify necessary parameters. For example, background installation of Dr.Web starts upon the execution of the following command:

If there is any anti-virus software installed on the computer, the Installation Wizard will attempt to remove it before starting the installation. If the attempt fails, you need to remove the current anti-virus software manually.

2.In the next window, the full path to the public key (drwcsd.pub) residing on your computer is specified.

3.You can adjust parameters of connection to the central protection server. To do that, click the corresponding link and make required changes in the open Connection parameters.

It is strongly recommended not to change the parameters without approval of your anti-virus network administrator.

For details on parameters for connection to the central protection server, contact the administrator.

In the Central protection server field, specify the network address of the server, from which Dr.Web is to be installed. This field is automatically filled in with parameters of the server selected for the installation.

To enable manual authorization on the server, select the corresponding check box. After that, specify the following authorization parameters: Identifier of the workstation and Password to access the server. In this case, the workstation does not require manual approval of the administrator to get access to the server.

When installing Dr.Web using the installation file created in Dr.Web Control Center, the Identifier and Password entry fields are filled in automatically if you selected the manual authorization option.

From the Compression and Encryption drop-down lists, select the required modes of transferring traffic between the server and Dr.Web.

If the attempt to establish connection fails, follow the link to check network parameters and/or try to connect to the server again by clicking the corresponding button.

4.After the connection is established, the window opens notifying you that the product is ready to be installed. To start installation with the default parameters, click Install.

To select components you want to install, specify the installation path, and configure other settings, click Installation parameters. The option is meant for experienced users.

5.If you selected Install at the previous step, go to the description of step 8. Otherwise, the Installation parameters window opens.

Select the check boxes next to those components that you want to install. By default, all components, except for Dr.Web Firewall, are selected.

6.On the Installation Path page, specify the folder for Dr.Web to be installed into.

By default, it is installed into the Dr.Web folder in the Program files folder on the system disk. To change the installation path, click Browse and specify the necessary folder.

7.On the Advanced options page, you are prompted to create shortcuts that start Dr.Web.

If required, enable the Register Dr.Web Agent in the list of installed programs option. This option also allows to remove Dr.Web by the means of standard Windows tools.

9.Once the installation is complete, you are prompted to restart the computer. Click Restart now.
