Log settings cannot be adjusted if the administrator of the central protection server to which Dr.Web is connected blocked this option.
Size of a log file is restricted to 10 MB by default (and 100 MB for SpIDer Guard). If the log file size exceeds the limit, the content is reduced to:
•Specified size if the current session information does not exceed the limit. •Size of the current session if the session information exceeds the limit. |
By default, the standard logging mode is enabled for all the Dr.Web components and the following information is logged:

Information
|
SpIDer Guard
|
Time of updates and SpIDer Guard starts and stops, virus events, names of scanned files, names of packers, and contents of scanned complex objects (archives, email attachments, file containers).
It is recommended to use this mode to determine the most frequent objects scanned by SpIDer Guard. If necessary, you can add these objects to the list of exclusions in order to increase computer performance.
|
SpIDer Mail
|
Time of updates and SpIDer Mail starts and stops, virus events, connection interception settings, names of scanned files, names of packers, and contents of scanned archives.
It is recommended to use this mode when testing mail interception settings.
|
SpIDer Gate
|
Time of updates, starts and stops of SpIDer Gate, virus events, connection interception settings, names of scanned files, names of packers, and contents of scanned archives.
It is recommended to use this mode for reception of more detailed information on the checked objects and work of the HTTP watchman.
|
Scanner
|
In this mode, main events are logged, such as time of updates, time of Dr.Web Scanner starts and stops, information on detected threats, names of packers, and content of scanned archives.
|
Firewall
|
Firewall does not log its operation in the standard mode. When you enable detailed logging, the component collects data on network packets (pcap logs).

Information on Dr.Web components, changes in their settings, component starts and stops, preventive protection events, connections to central protection server.

Memory dump creation
The Create memory dumps at scan errors option allows to save useful information on operation of several Dr.Web components. This helps Doctor Web technical support specialists analyze an occurred problem in detail and find a solution. It is recommended to enable this option on request of Doctor Web technical support specialists or when errors of scanning or neutralizing occur. Memory dump is saved to a .dmp file located in the folder %PROGRAMFILES%\Common Files\Doctor Web\Scanning Engine\.
Enabling detailed logging
|
Upon logging detailed data on Dr.Web operation, the maximum amount of information is recorded. This will result in disabling of log file size limitations and will have an impact on system and Dr.Web performance. It is recommended to use this mode only when errors occur in component operation or by request of your anti-virus network administrator.

1.To enable detailed logging for a Dr.Web component, select the corresponding check box. 2.Save the changes. Quarantine settings
You can select the isolation mode for infected objects detected on portable data carriers. When this option is enabled, detected threats are moved to the folder on this data carrier without being encrypted. The Quarantine folder is created on portable data carriers only when they are accessible for writing. The use of separate folders and omission of encryption on portable data carriers prevents possible data loss. If the option is enabled, the detected threat is moved to Quarantine on the local disc.
