Dr.Web Daemon is a background anti-virus module drwebd, designed to perform scanning for viruses on request received from other Dr.Web components. It can scan files on the disk or data transferred through a socket. Requests for anti-virus scanning are sent using a special protocol via UNIX or TCP sockets. Dr.Web Daemon uses the same anti-virus engine (Dr.Web Engine) and virus databases, like Dr.Web Scanner, and is able to detect and cure all known viruses.
Dr.Web Daemon is always running and has simple and intelligible protocol for sending scanning requests, which makes it a perfect solution to be used as an anti-virus filter for file servers. Dr.Web for UNIX mail servers is a ready-made solution for integrating Dr.Web Daemon with UNIX mail servers..

Note that Dr.Web Daemon cannot scan the contents of the encrypted files because in this case it is necessary to know the password that been used for encryption. So, these files will be passed without the scan, and for the client application the special return code will be returned. |
