Dr.Web console scanners
Doctor Web, Ltd. offers cost-sparing solutions for advanced users — command line scanners for all types of the Dr.Web anti-virus scanners — Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris(i86), Windows, MS DOS.
Console scanners use the same Dr.Web virus database and search module as all Dr.Web solutions updated once or several times per hour, protecting computers from viruses, spyware, adware, riskware, dialers, joke programs, etc.
Advantages
Outstanding efficiency and capability of being installed onto infected computers
Dr.Web’s exceptional resistance to viruses and its ability to be installed onto an infected PC distinguishes it from its competitors. Dr.Web scanners can even be run without installation — from a CD or USB-stick, for instance.
High detection rate of unknown viruses due to Dr.Web powerful heuristic analyzer
A constantly perfecting Dr.Web heuristic analyzer protects from would-be malware yet unknown to Dr.Web virus database. There is an option of disabling the heuristic analyzer, if necessary.
Very frequent updates of the virus databases
Updates to Dr.Web virus database are released as soon as new entries are added - up to several times per hour. "Hot" add-ons are released as soon as new threat is caught and analyzed. Dr.Web global monitoring network collects samples of new viruses from all over the world.
Most resources-friendly anti-viruses
Dr.Web console scanners save and never overload computers, which make them indispensable in outdated computers of older generations. Page up
Description
If a computer has already been infected and doesn’t respond to system calls, Dr.Web Anti-virus scanner for DOS386 could save the situation. Dr.Web’s exceptional resistance to viruses and its ability to be installed onto an infected PC distinguishes it from its competitors. Dr.Web scanners can even be run without installation — from a CD or USB-stick, for instance.
Default settings
By default, the main memory, startup files, download sectors, archives and packed files, mail programs’ files and files in sub-directories are scanned. The heuristic analysis is performed as well, unless this default option is disables by the user at the scanner’s launch.
However, the default scanner settings do not contain the tasks to cure the infected files and no actions are specified either for infected with viruses or suspicious files.
Diversity of command line options
Command line keys set the program up. If not specified, the scanning is done with the default settings, unless the latter were changed after the launch.
Dr.Web console scanners provide with a lot of options determining the program performance, which can be divided into several groups — the scanning options, the diagnostics options, the actions options and the interface options. Being run, the scanner can be tuned for the current session with a list of targets to be scanned. Either all hard discs, or one disc only, or files in directories or sub-directories can be scanned.
Wide set up options
The default settings designed by our developers are optimal, but they can sometimes fail to meet particular user’s demands. Dr.Web console scanners allow to flexibly modify the settings stored in the configuration file. Some settings can be specified in the program’s configuration file only. If you skip some parameter, which often happens while tuning, the default one will be used.
Scanning statistics
After the scanning is done, the statistics report is generated on all checked, cured, moved, deleted and suspicious objects, as well as on time and speed of the scanning.
In UNIX based console scanners statistics is carried out by system service devise — syslogd.
