Mobility

On the Mobility tab, you can specify parameters of the Mobile Mode of the Agent:

In the Update period field, specify the time interval between the anti-virus software updates on station using GUS servers.

In the Manual mode, automatic updates are disabled. In this case, to receive the latest virus databases, the user must launch the update in the Agent settings on the station.

Enable the Use proxy server option to use an HTTP proxy server to receive updates from the internet. This will make the fields to set a proxy server available.

Updating Mobile Dr.Web Agents

If the user's computer has no connection to Dr.Web Server for a long time, to receive updates in time from the Dr.Web GUS, it is recommended that you set the Agent mobile mode of operation on the station.

In the mobile mode, the Agent tries to connect to Dr.Web Server three times and, if failed, performs an HTTP update. The Agent tries continuously to find Dr.Web Server at interval of about a minute.

warning

The mobile mode will be available in the Agent settings if the mobile mode has been allowed in the Control Center, in the Anti-virus NetworkPermissionsWindowsGeneralRun in mobile mode section.

When the Agent is functioning in the mobile mode, the Agent is not connected to Dr.Web Server. All changes made for this workstation at Dr.Web Server, will take effect once the Agent mobile mode is switched off and the connection with Dr.Web Server is re-established.

 

In the mobile mode only virus databases are updated.
