The Create memory dumps at scan errors option allows you to save useful information on operation of several Dr.Web components. This helps Doctor Web technical support specialists analyze an occurred problem in detail and find a solution. We recommend enabling this option on request of Doctor Web technical support specialists or when errors of scanning or neutralizing occur. Memory dump is saved to .dmp file located in the %PROGRAMFILES%\Common Files\Doctor Web\Scanning Engine\ folder.
