File System Monitoring Settings

On the SpIDer Guard tab, you can configure reactions of Dr.Web for Linux to threats detected by the file system monitor SpIDer Guard.

Figure 41. File system monitoring settings page

This page, including the window with advanced settings, is the same as the page with Scanner settings (Scanner tab).

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

Notes:

You can exclude files from monitoring by SpIDer Guard on the Exclusions tab.

For details on enabling the enhanced file monitoring mode by SpIDer Guard, refer to File Monitoring Modes.

Reactions to threat detection defined for SpIDer Guard do not influence on behavior of Scanner. Reactions to threat detection for Scanner are specified on the corresponding page.

To change the settings of the SpIDer Guard file system monitor, the application must operate with elevated permissions. Refer to Managing Application Privileges section.

 

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