Getting Started

When Dr.Web is installed, the SpIDer Agent icon  is displayed in the notification area.

The SpIDer Agent icon indicates the status of Dr.Web:

•—all necessary components are running and protect your computer.

•—Dr.Web self-protection or computer protection is disabled.

•—components are expected to start after the operating system startup process is complete, thus wait until the components start; or an error occurred while starting one of the main Dr.Web components, and your computer is at risk of virus infection. Check that you have a valid key file and, if required, install it.

The SpIDer Agent menu  allows to manage and configure the main settings of Dr.Web. To open the menu, click the SpIDer Agent icon  in the Windows notification area.
