This helps Doctor Web technical support specialists analyze an occurred problem in detail and find a solution. It is recommended to enable this option when operational errors occur.
Enabling detailed logging
|
Logging detailed data on Dr.Web operation may result in considerable log file growth and increase in process load. It is recommended to use this mode only when errors occur in component operation or by request of Doctor Web technical support. |
1.To enable detailed logging for a Dr.Web component, select the corresponding check box.
2.By default, detailed logging is enabled until the first restart of the operating system. If it is necessary to log component activity before and after the restart, set the Continue detailed logging after restart (not recommended).
3.Save the changes.
|
By default, size of a log file is restricted to 10 MB. |
Quarantine settings
To configure Quarantine settings, click the corresponding Change button.
You can configure Dr.Web Quarantine, estimate its size, and delete isolated files from a specified logical drive.
For details on a certain option, click the corresponding item in the picture.
Folders of Quarantine are created separately on each logical drive where suspicious files are found.
To empty Quarantine
1.To remove all quarantined files on a particular drive, select the drive in the list.
2.Click Clear and confirm the deletion when prompted.
Use Advanced settings to select the isolation mode for infected objects detected on portable data carriers. By default, detected threats are moved to the folder on this data carrier without being encrypted. The Quarantine folder is created on portable data carriers only when they are accessible for writing. The use of separate folders and omission of encryption on portable data carriers prevents possible data loss.
Secure Connections
You can enable scanning of data transmitted over secure protocols. To check such data, select the Check encrypted traffic check box. If your client application that uses secure connections does not refer to the default Windows system certificate storage, then you need to export the certificate.
Doctor Web Certificate
You may need to scan data transmitted in accordance with SSL protocol. For instance, you can configure SpIDer Gate to check encrypted data transferred over HTTPS protocol and configure SpIDer Mail to check messages sent over POP3S, SMTPS, or IMAPS. In order for Dr.Web to scan such encrypted traffic and maintain transparent integration with some browsers and mail clients that do not refer to the Windows system certificate storage, it may be necessary to import Doctor Web SSL certificate into the application certificate storages. To save the certificate from the system storage for future use in third party applications, click Export and select a convenient folder.
