Operation Mode

If necessary, Doctor Web solutions can be used to connect to a corporate or private Anti-virus network managed by Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite. To operate in the central protection mode, it is not required to install additional software or uninstall your Dr.Web solution.

To provide you with this option, Dr.Web Monitor can operate in one of the following modes:

•Standalone mode when a protected computer is not included in an anti-virus network and is managed locally. In this mode, configuration files and key files reside on local drives, Dr.Web Monitor is fully controlled from the protected computer, and all modules start in accordance with the settings specified in the Dr.Web Monitor configuration file.

•Enterprise mode (or central protection mode) when protection of the local computer is managed from the central protection server. In this mode, some features and settings of Dr.Web for Novell Storage Services can be modified and blocked for compliance with a general security policy (for example, corporate security policy). A key file for operation in this mode is received from the central protection server. Your personal key file on the local computer is not used.

To enable central protection mode

1.Contact anti-virus network administrator of your company for a public key file and parameters of connection to the central protection server.

2.In Dr.Web Monitor configuration file (by default, %etc_dir/monitor.conf), set the UseEnterpriseMode parameter value to Yes.

To enable standalone mode

1.Ensure that all modules that you want Dr.Web Monitor to start are listed in the RunAppList parameter in the [Monitor] section of Dr.Web Monitor configuration file (by default, %etc_dir/monitor.conf). The modules must be installed and configured properly.

On switching to this mode, all settings of Dr.Web for Novell Storage Services are unlocked and restored to their previous or default values. You can access all settings of Dr.Web for Novell Storage Services again and configure them.
