You can select the files to be scanned by specifying target directories and files before scanning and by dragging and dropping them with the mouse from the window of the file manager to the Main page (see below) or to the Scanner page of the Dr.Web for Linux window.

5.View all threats detected by Dr.Web for Linux during the current operation in graphical mode, including viewing neutralized and skipped threats and objects moved to quarantine.

•Actions that the Scanner and SpIDer Guard should apply to the detected threats (according to their type)

•List of directories and files that must not be scanned by the Scanner and must not be controlled by the file system monitor SpIDer Guard.

•Black and white lists of websites used by the monitor SpIDer Gate, and scanning parameters for the files downloaded from the Internet or received via email.

•Schedule of planned of file system scanning, including the frequency, the type of scanning and the list of objects for custom scan according to a set schedule.
