Dr.Web Scanning Engine

Top  Previous  Next

Dr.Web Scanning Enginescanning engine is designed to search for viruses and other malicious objects in files and boot records (MBR – Master Boot Record, VBR – Volume Boot Record) of disk devices. The component loads the anti-virus engine Dr.Web Virus-Finding Engine into memory and starts it as well as loads Dr.Web virus databases used by the engine for threat detection.

The scanning engine operates in the daemon mode, as a service which receives scanning requests from other Dr.Web for UNIX Internet Gateways components. If the Dr.Web Scanning Engine and Dr.Web Virus-Finding Engine components are missing or unavailable, no anti-virus scanning is performed.
