If any problems occur during operation of defragmentation programs, disable Self-Protection temporary.
To rollback to a system restore point, disable Self-Protection. |
The Block user activity emulation option allows you to prevent any changes in Dr.Web settings made by third-party software, including execution of scripts that emulate the mouse and the keyboard functioning in Dr.Web windows (for example, scripts to make changes in Dr.Web settings, license removal and other actions aimed at changing Dr.Web operation).
The Enable compatibility with screen readers option allows you to use such screen readers as, for example, JAWS and NVDA for reading loud the information on Dr.Web interface elements. This option makes Dr.Web interface accessible for disabled people.
Some malicious programs intentionally change system data and time. In this case virus databases are not updated as scheduled, license can be marked as expired, and protection components will be disabled.
The Block changing the system date and time option allows you to prevent manual and automatic changes of the system date and time as well as of the time zone. This restriction is set for all system users. You can configure notification parameters to be informed on an attempt to change the system time.
