Mode

On this page, you can view and adjust parameters of interaction between Dr.Web and the Server as well as specify settings for the Mobile mode of Dr.Web. Administrator of the anti-virus network can restrict you from adjusting the server connection parameters. If so, the buttons and check boxes are unavailable.

In the Connection to central protection server settings group, you can check Connection status and, if you have the corresponding permissions, view and adjust the server connection settings.

To configure connection to the current server or to a new one, click Edit. The Settings window opens.

You can configure connection to the central protection server only in coordination with the anti-virus network administrator; otherwise, the computer will be disconnected from the anti-virus network.

•Address: and Port:—specify address and port of the central protection server.

By default, connection to the server cannot be established if no public key is specified, but can adjust settings for the workstation and allow connection without the public key.

If you are going to use an invalid public key, select the corresponding check box.

•Station ID—specify the Dr.Web identifier assigned to your computer for registration on the server.

When you enable the Connect as a newbie mode, you can send a request to register on the central protection server or establish connection to another server having adjusted the connection parameters (Address:, Port:, and Public key). After the registration is confirmed on the server, Dr.Web receives settings from .

After you finish adjusting the settings, close the Server Settings window by clicking OK. To close the window without saving the changes, click Undo.

•Accept jobs from the server—periodically receive tasks from the administrator.

•Accept updates from the server—receive updates for Dr.Web components and virus databases. Update settings are set on the server.

•Synchronize system time with the server time—synchronize system time on your computer with the time on the central protection server. In this mode, Dr.Web periodically sets the time on you computer in accordance with the server time.

•Accumulate events—save the event data for sending it to the central protection server. The event data will be sent as soon as connection to the server is established. If the check box is not selected and connection to the server is not established, important data (for example, information on detected threats and statistics) will be lost.

•Use Mobile mode when there is no connection with the server—keep virus databases up to date.

If your computer is disconnected from the central protection server for a long time, it is recommended to enable the Mobile mode of Dr.Web operation in order to receive updates from Doctor Web update servers. For that purpose, select the Use Mobile mode when there is no connection with the server check box.

The Use Mobile mode when there is no connection with the server option can be enabled or disabled only if use of this mode is allowed for this workstation in the settings of the central protection server.

In the Mobile mode, Dr.Web attempts to connect to the central protection server. After three unsuccessful attempts, it performs an update of the virus databases from Doctor Web update servers. Attempts to establish server connection are performed with an interval of about one minute.

To configure Mobile mode settings, click Configure. The Mobile mode window opens.

From the Update frequency drop-down list, select the frequency of checking updates on Doctor Web update servers.

To use proxy server, select the corresponding check box. The following fields will become active:

Option	Description
Address	Specify the address of the proxy server.
Port	Specify the port of the proxy server.
Login	Specify the username to use when connecting to the proxy server.
Password	Specify the password to use when connecting to the proxy server under the provided username.
Authorization type	Select an authorization type required to connect to the proxy server.

After editing, click OK to save the changes or Undo to cancel them. To edit the proxy connection settings, click Edit again.

In the Mobile mode, only virus databases are updated.

If you disable the Use Mobile mode when there is no connection with the server when there is no connection with the server before the connection to the central protection server is reestablished option, the virus databases will stop updating, but searching for the server will be continued.

All changes specified for the workstation on the server take effect only after the Mobile mode is disabled and connection between Dr.Web and the central protection server is reestablished.
