To access the SpIDer Gate settings, you are prompted to enter the password if you enabled Protect Dr.Web settings by password option on the Settings window. |
The default settings are optimal for most uses. Do not change them unnecessarily.
IM Clients Check
In the Scan options group, you can enable check of URLs and data transmitted by instant messaging clients (Mail@RU Agent, ICQ and clients using the Jabber protocol). Only incoming traffic is checked. By default, this option is enabled.
Links transmitted in messages are checked according to the SpIDer Gate settings: links to the websites known as infection sources are blocked automatically; links to the websites that are not recommended for visiting or URLs due to a notice from copyright owner are blocked only if the corresponding options are enabled on the Actions page. At that, white list and list of excluded applications also have an effect.
Files transmitted by instant messaging clients are also checked. When a threat is detected, file transmission is blocked if the corresponding setting is enabled on the Block programs page. Viruses are blocked automatically if the Check traffic in IM clients option is enabled.
Blocking parameters
In the Blocking parameters group you can enable automatic block of URLs due to a notice from the copyright owner (for that, select the corresponding check box) and block of unreliable websites (select Block not recommended sites). On the Exclusions page you can specify websites access to which must be allowed regardless of other restrictions.

By default, SpIDer Gate blocks access to websites known as infection sources. At that, applications from the exclusion list are not blocked. |
Programs to block
SpIDer Gate can detect and block the following malicious programs:
•Suspicious
•Riskware
•Dialers
•Hacktools
•Adware
•Jokes
By default, SpIDer Gate blocks suspicious programs, adware and dialers.
Objects to block
SpIDer Gate can block malformed or not checked objects. This option is disabled by default.
Advances settings
You can configure scans of archive and installation packages. By default, all malicious programs are blocked and scanning of archives and installation packages is disabled.
You can also adjust Scan priority that determines distribution of resources depending on traffic scanning priority. Internet connection speed decreases when SpIDer Gate operates with lower priority, since the monitor have to wait longer for downloading and scans larger portions of data. When you increase the priority, SpIDer Gate starts scanning data more often, thus increasing speed of your Internet connection. However, frequent scans also increase processor load.
You can select the type of HTTP traffic to check. By default, only incoming traffic is scanned. At that, the specified actions, white list and excluded applications also have an effect.
