SpIDer Guard

SpIDer Guard is an anti-virus monitor that resides in the main memory, checks processes and files and memory on start or creation. SpIDer Guard loads automatically when Windows starts and cannot be unloaded during the current Windows session.

With the default settings, SpIDer Guard performs on-access scans of files that are being created or changed on the hard drives and all files that are opened on removable media. It scans files in the same way as Dr.Web Scanner but with milder settings. Moreover, SpIDer Guard constantly monitors starting processes and blocks them if a threat is detected.

Files within archives and mailboxes are not checked. If a file within an archive or email attachment is infected, the malicious object will be detected and neutralized by SpIDer Guard immediately when you try to extract archived files or download the attachment.

On detection of an infected object SpIDer Guard applies actions to them according the specified settings. You can change settings to configure automatic reaction to different virus events.

You can also connect to Doctor Web cloud services which allow anti-virus components to use the latest information on threats. This information is stored and updated on Doctor Web servers in real-time mode.
