Updating Virus Databases

Dr.Web uses virus databases to detect malicious software. These databases contain details and signatures for all viruses and malicious programs known at the moment of the plug-in release. However modern computer viruses are characterized by the high-speed evolvement and modification. More than that, within several days and sometimes hours, new viruses emerge which can infect millions of computers around the world. To mitigate the risk of infection during the licensed period, Doctor Web provides you with regular updates to virus databases and plug-in components. Virus databases are considered outdated after 24 hours since the last successful update.

The Dr.Web for IBM Lotus Domino virus databases are updated via the Updater module. The Updater launches according to schedule specified in the drwebupdate.bat document which is created in the Domino directory of the server address book during the installation. By default, the Updater launches every 30 minutes. The drwebupdate.bat can be edited via the Domino Administrator client.

To change the update schedule

1.Start the Lotus Domino server.

2.Start the Domino Administrator client.

3.Click the Configuration tab and select the Server item in the hierarchical menu on the left.

4.Click the Programs item in the opened submenu and select the drwebupdate.bat program in the list.

5.Click the Edit Program button at the top of the window and make the necessary changes.

The Updater can also be launched manually in the command line mode using the thedrwebupdate.bat file. In the command line mode, you can specify additional parameters (see Configuring Update Parameters).

If you are using a proxy server, configure Updater for operation via a proxy server. For that, add corresponding parameters to the drwebupdate.bat file (see Configuring Update Parameters).
