What is Dr.Web

Dr.Web is an anti-virus plug-in designed to protect corporate mail systems against viruses and spam. It flexibly integrates into the system and processes each message and attachment dispatched to the server. All the messages are scanned before they are processed by the client part.

Dr.Web can perform the following functions:

•Scan all incoming and outgoing messages in real-time mode

•Filter and block spam, use manually compiled black and white lists of addresses (if the anti-spam module is installed)

•Isolate infected and suspicious objects to quarantine

•Filter email messages according to various criteria

•Group clients to simplify their management

•Log virus events in OS log and support an internal event database cmstracedb

•Collect statistics

•Support the common application settings on a distributed system of firewalls, including those organized in clusters

•Automatically update virus databases and components of the plug-in

To facilitate working with the plug-in, it is launched fully automatically (at system startup) and uses convenient update procedures (once added to the Windows Task Scheduler).

Dr.Web uses virus databases which are constantly supplemented with new records to assure up-to-date protection. Also, a heuristic analyzer is used for additional protection against unknown viruses.
