Scanner Settings

On the Scanner tab, you can configure reactions of Dr.Web for Linux to threats detected by Scanner during file scanning at user’s request or as scheduled.

On the drop-down lists, select the action to be applied by Dr.Web for Linux to an object if a threat of a certain type is detected in this object.

If threat is detected in a file located in a container (an archive, email message, etc.), its removal is replaced with moving of a container to quarantine.

By clicking the Automatically apply actions to threats check box, you instruct Dr.Web for Linux to apply the specified action to a threat once it is detected by Scanner during scanning at request or as scheduled (the user will be informed about threat neutralization and details on the threat will be available on the threat list). If the check box is cleared, a threat, detected by Scanner will be added to the list of detected threats and the user will need to manually select the action to be applied.

Click the Advanced button to open the window with advanced file scanning settings.

Reactions on threat detection defined for Scanner, including them automatic applying, do not influence on behavior of SpIDer Guard. Reactions on threat detection for SpIDer Guard are specified on the corresponding tab.

To change Scanner reaction to threats and to access advanced settings, the application must operate with elevated permissions. Refer to Managing Application Privileges section.

The option to configure Scanner when Dr.Web for Linux is operating under the central protection server can be blocked if disabled by the server.

In advanced scanning setting window, you can configure the following parameters of Scanner:

If the check boxes that turn on scanning of containers are not selected, the container file structure are scanned by Scanner anyway, but enclosed files are excluded from scanning.

To close the window and save the changes, click OK. To discard the changes and close the window, click Cancel.
