Benefits

Wide range of supported operating systems
Dr.Web anti-virus for Internet gateways Unix builds an unconquerable barrier against modern Internet threats for almost all Unix-based operating systems used nowadays:

  • Linux – all distributions of v.v. glibc-2.2 and higher;
  • FreeBSD 4.11 and higher;
  • OpenBSD 4.1;
  • Solaris 10 (for Intel platform only).

Excellent compatibility
Dr.Web anti-virus for Internet gateways Unix can be used with any proxy server supporting ICAP and never conflicts with all known firewalls.

High scanning speed
The traffic is filtered at the level of the icap-server. The anti-virus filtering doesn’t slow down the delivery of the requested content to end users of the corporate network.

Flexibility and low cost administration
Dr.Web anti-virus for Internet gateways Unix allows to implement any security policies adopted at the enterprise. The administrator can specify an automatic reaction to detection of different types of the malicious objects (non-curable files, suspicious files, files which can be possible cured, adware, paid dialers, riskware and joke programs, spyware, archives which, due to some reasons (too many nesting levels, too high compression level, etc.), cannot be checked). The access to Internet resources can be restricted by mime-type and size of files, as well as by host name.

Outstanding scalability
The product can perfectly suite needs of a small company with only one gateway, as well as meet the unlimited requirements of large transnational telecoms. Its efficiency, flexible settings and filtering capability of huge volumes of web-traffic on-the-fly can comply with any highest demands. Dr.Web anti-virus for Internet gateways Unix operates in modern Internet networks, as well as in the next generation networks using the IPv6 protocol. Traditional for Dr.Web low system resources requirements allow the product to smoothly function in Internet gateways of almost any configuration.

High protection level
Huge virus database and constantly perfecting heuristic analyzer leave no chances for viruses, including micro viruses, Trojan horses and other malware to penetrate into users’ computers. Dr.Web anti-virus for Internet gateways Unix detects ill-intentional objects written for all platforms — Windows, Unix, DOS, including the objects which can infect files of Microsoft Office. The unique non-signature detection technique – Origins Tracing™ – combined with traditional signature-based scan and the Dr.Web heuristic analyzer dramatically increase the detection rate of yet unknown malicious objects.

Correct scan of archives and packed files
Dr.Web anti-virus for Internet gateways Unix correctly checks the majority of existing formats of packed files and archives with any nesting level, including multi-volume and self-extracting, which is extremely important for mail systems. Dr.Web can process more than 4000 types of archives and packers. While checking archives the administrator can specify the maximum compression level and maximum file size for extraction.

Dr.Web anti-virus for Internet gateways Unix The solution is designed as a Dr.Web icap-server (drweb-icapd), which is used as a client communicating with Dr.Web Daemon. The data received by drweb-icapd from an http-stream is scanned for viruses. Both http-, and ftp-traffic can be scanned.

Dr.Web anti-virus for Internet gateways Unix is not only an anti-virus. It allows restricting user access to various web-resources using a list of banned sites or creating content filtering rules based on mime-type and size of requested files.

The program also supports the Preview mode that allows to specify files that are not to be scanned and, consequently, are not downloaded by Dr.Web icap-server (e.g, video and audio stream). Using the rules allows do decrease both local and Internet traffic.

Infected and suspicious files detected by Dr.Web anti-virus for Internet gateways Unix can be placed in the quarantine, so some additional actions can be performed for the files: one can extract information he or she needs, apply the cure option or delete.

Any actions, made by the anti-virus for protection of the network are reflected in the log file. Useful system notifying users on attempts of downloading of a viral web-page, or on a detection of a virus efficiently helps to implement safety politics accepted at the enterprise. An administrator has the options to restrict user access to various web-resources using a list of banned sites or creating content filtering rules based on mime-type and size of requested files.

System requirements

  • Dr.Web Daemon (drwebd) version 4.32 or higher.
    • Any proxy server supporting ICAP protocol:
    • Squid 2.5 or higher .STABLE5 supporting ICAP 6-pre3 or higher. If you are going to use experimental Preview feature, you need to use squid-icap-2.5-200408092201-src with icap_respmod.c.path patch installed
    • Shweby 1.0 or higher
    • SafeSquid 3.0 or higher
