For protecting of workstations running under OS GNU/Linux family, the following anti-virus components are provided:
General Components
Scanner for Workstations
The component which performs scanning of file system objects (files, directories, boot records) and running processes on demand or as scheduled to detect threats.
|
Note that as the Scanner for Workstations, the GUI version of the Scanner is implied. Dr.Web for Linux contains also the Console Scanner that is used to run scan from a command line. The Control Center does not manage the Console Scanner operating. |
SpIDer Guard
The component which operates in resident mode and monitors file operations (creation, opening, closing, and running of a file). It scans new and modified files or executable files upon a program startup.
SpIDer Gate
The component which works in resident mode and monitors all network connections.
•It checks whether the requested URL falls into the unwanted category of web resources or in the user’s black list, and, if so, blocks access to the resource.
•Blocks transfer of email messages if they contain malicious objects or unwanted links.
•The component also sends Scanner tasks to scan files downloaded from the Internet (from servers whose access is not restricted) and blocks their download if they contain threats.
Additionally, if it has the permission from the user, the component sends URL to Dr.Web Cloud service for a check.
Console Scanner
The component which performs scanning of the file system objects, running processes and remote hosts on demand from the command-line OS interface.
Auxiliary Components
Dr.Web Agent for UNIX
The component is used for interaction between Dr.Web for Linux installed on the station and Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite.
File Checker
The component is used by Scanner for Workstations, Console Scanner, SpIDer Guard and SpIDer Gate for file checking and managing of Quarantine.
Scanning Engine
The component is used for anti-virus scan and virus databases managing.
Dr.Web ConfigD
The component that coordinates operation of all Dr.Web for Linux components.
Quarantine
Isolates malicious and suspicious objects in the special directory.

Description of how to manage Quarantine via the Control Center you can find in the Administrator Manual. |
Dr.Web for Linux installed on the station can also include other auxiliary components not specified in the list above.
