Dr.Web for Linux Components

For  the protection of Linux Workstations, the following 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.

info

Note that the GUI version of the Scanner is meant by the Scanner for Workstations. 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 operation.

SpIDer Guard (for GNU/Linux)

A file system monitor. Operates in background mode and controls file operations (such as creation, opening, closing, running) in GNU/Linux file systems. It sends to File Checker requests to scan new or changed files as well as executables of programs when they are run.

SpIDer Gate

The component is designed for checking the network traffic as well as the URLs. It is designed for checking for threats all the data downloaded to the local node from the network and transmitted from it via the network. It prevents from connecting to web-resources included in the unwanted categories as well as to the resources blocked by the administrator.  

info

Included only in Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite distributions for GNU/Linux.

Dr.Web Console Scanner

Provides detection and neutralisation of viruses on the local machine. Managed via the console command line.

Dr.Web ClamD

Component emulating interface of the anti-virus daemon clamd, which is a component of ClamAV ®anti-virus. Allows all applications that support ClamAV ® to transparently use Dr.Web for Linux for anti-virus scanning.

Quarantine

The component is used by the Scanner for Workstations, by the Console Scanner and by SpIDer Guard and for isolating malicious and suspicious objects in the special directory.

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 Console Scanner for checking files in Scanning Engine and for managing Quarantine.

Network Checker

The component is used to send data to the Scanning Engine for actual scanning. It is used by general components to check data transmitted over the network.

Scanning Engine

The component is used by File Checker and Network Checker for anti-virus scan and virus databases managing.

SNMP Agent

The component is designed for integration of Dr.Web for Linux with external monitoring systems over the SNMP protocol.

Dr.Web ConfigD

The component that coordinates operation of all Dr.Web for Linux components.

Dr.Web CloudD

The component that sends the following information to the Dr.Web Cloud service: visited URLs and information about the scanned files, to check them for threats not yet described in virus databases.

Dr.Web HTTPD

Web server for managing Dr.Web for Linux components. It provides the management web interface for product installed on the station.
