Operating Principles

The Dr.Web CloudD component is designed to communicate with the Dr.Web Cloud service of the Doctor Web company. The Dr.Web Cloud service collects up-to-date information from all Dr.Web anti-virus products, which makes it possible to:

•neutralize latest threats that are not yet covered by virus databases;

•prevent users from visiting unwanted websites that are not yet covered by databases of web resource categories;

•reduce a number of false positives of Dr.Web Scanning Engine.

If the component is enabled, it will periodically send statistics on detection of infected files to the Dr.Web Cloud service.

The Dr.Web Cloud service is used as an additional security layer while scanning file systems, network traffic and URLs. When enabled, the Dr.Web CloudD component is used in all file-system scanning operations.
