Scanner

Dr.Web Scanner performs express or full check of the whole file system or scans the critical files and folders only.

Dr.Web Scanner settings for computers running macOS are available in the Scanner for workstations section, for macOS Server—in the Scanner for servers section.

General

•Set the Check archives flag to enable check of files in archives.

•Set the Check email files flag to enable check of email files contents.

•In the Scanning time of one element field, specify the maximum time for scanning a file. Value 0 means that time to scan one file is unlimited.

Actions

In this section, select actions that will be automatically applied to computer threats detected by Dr.Web Scanner depending on their types:

•Cure, move to quarantine if not cured. Instructs to restore the original state of the object before infection. If the object is incurable, or the attempt of curing fails, this object is moved to quarantine. The action is available only for objects infected with a known virus that can be cured except for the Trojan programs and files within complex objects.

•Cure, delete if not cured. Instructs to restore the original state of the object before infection. If the object is incurable, or the attempt of curing fails, this object is deleted. The action is available only for objects infected with a known virus that can be cured except for the Trojan programs and files within complex objects.

•Move to quarantine. This action moves a detected threat to a special folder that is isolated from the rest of the system.

•Delete. It is the most effective way to remove all types of threats. This action implies full deletion of a dangerous object.

•Ignore. No actions are applied to the object. Notifications are not displayed.
