Constant anti-virus protection is carried out via a resident component called SpIDer Guard. The component performs real-time check of all files accessed by the user or running programs and processes running on your Mac. By default, it is enabled as soon as you install and register Dr.Web Anti-virus. Whenever a threat is detected, SpIDer Guard displays a warning and applies actions according to the anti-virus preferences.
To enable or disable SpIDer Guard
| • | On the Desk section of the main window (see Picture 1), enable/disable the SpIDer Guard option. |
| • | Click the Dr.Web Anti-virus icon in the menu bar and select the corresponding item. |
|
Only users with administrator privileges can disable SpIDer Guard. |
Be extremely cautious when using this option! While SpIDer Guard functions are disabled, avoid connecting to the Internet and check all removable media using Scanner before accessing. |
