[Dr.Web] menu contains three commands [DOS shell], [About...], and [Exit]. [Test] menu contains five commands [Test memory], [Scan], [Cure], [Statistics], and [Report]. [Setup] menu contains three commands [Desktop], [Options], and [Paths]. Speedkeys: Alt-X, Alt-F4 - Shell to DOS, F1 - Help, F5 - Scan (a given file, directory, drive), Ctrl-F5 - Cure (a given file, directory, drive), F9 - Display configuration options panel, F10, Space - Main menu, Tab, Shift-Tab - Move from one menu field to another, Esc - Abort scanning. {} Unknown error! {} File not found! Specify the pathname correctly. {} Disk error! If this happened during writing, check whether there is enough free disk space. {} Memory allocation error! Reboot the system and repeat the command once again. {} Insufficient memory space! Free the memory and repeat the command once again. {} Dr. Web's environment settings corrupted! Possibly, error in memory allocation. {} Disk error! ..., probably at physical level! Check your disk! {} Error reading REPORT file! Probably,you opened a nonexistent REPORT file. Deselect the DON'T CREATE button in the REPORT FILE field in OPTIONS panel. {} Drive not found! Type a different drive name letter. {} [DOS Shell] command temporarily interrupts Dr. Web to shell to DOS. To resume Dr. Web session, type EXIT and press RETURN. [About] command displays information about Dr. Web. [Exit] command terminates the current Dr. Web session. {} [Test memory] command scans computer memory for resident viruses at any time in a scanning session. [Scan] command scans user-defined drives, directories, and files for computer viruses or suspicious files. [Cure] command removes viruses from boot sectors and files. [Statistics] command displays full statistical data for each drive tested in the current scanning session. [Report] command opens the REPORT file containing the results of testing or curing of memory, boot sectors, drives and files. Its name is specified in the REPORT FILE text box in the panel displayed on choosing the FILES... command from the SETUP menu. This field is operative only if either the OVERWRITE or APPEND button in the REPORT FILE field in the OPTIONS panel of the SETUP is selected. {} [Desktop...] command provides a few options for configuring the screen display mode to suit user's preferences. [Options...] command provides a few options for configuring the way in which scanning progress is reported on the screen. [Paths...] command is used to specify the pathnames and search pattern of files that are essentional for the normal operation of Dr. Web program. {} The original boot sector is not found in the "hide-out" where the detected virus must conceal it. Either this virus is a modification of some known virus and hides the boot sector elsewhere or your computer is infected with a few boot viruses such that one virus is superimposed on another. If this is the case, your computer cannot be booted from such an infected disk. For help, call the technical maintenance service of DialogueScience,Inc., Moscow. {} This virus does not save the original boot sector. If you permit Dr. Web to cure the machine, a standard boot sector will be restored instead of the original boot sector of your machine. DO NOT permit Dr. Web to cure your disk if it is formated by nonconventional disk administrators like ADM, Disk Manager, SSTOR, etc., otherwise data on your disk may be lost. {} You can suppress this prompt by selecting the TEST ONE FLOPPY ONLY check box in the panel displayed on choosing the DESKTOP command from the SETUP menu. {} The file cannot be restored because it is infected by (1) an overwriting virus which does not save the original program code, or (2) a companion virus, or (3) a trojan virus, or (4) the file is damaged beyond repair. Delete and restore the file from a backup copy. {} Curing is not possible because your computer is protected by SHERIFF security system. To clean the computer, quit Dr. Web, disable SHERIFF, and then cure your computer. {} Dr. Web has detected self-infection. This happens, as a rule, when Dr. Web is infected by an hitherto-unknown virus. Close down your computer and forward a copy of the infected Dr. Web program to its designer or our authorized dealer. Soon you will receive a cost-free add-on database file to kill the virus or the next upgraded version capable of detecting and eradicating this virus. {} This message warns you that the file had one size prior to opening and a different size after opening. Possibly, memory contains an active resident virus that has infected the file. In such a case, the file size increases. Or there may be an active stealth virus in the memory that is trying to hide its copy in the file being tested. In such a case, the file size decreases. Close down the computer, reboot from a "clean" bootable diskette and test the suspected files. {} Drive not ready! Insert a diskette into drive and repeat the test or abort testing. {} This panel displays full statistical information about the drives checked in the current scanning mission. {} Screen mode ----------- [X] Expanding windows smoothly and gradually opens menu and message panels. [X] Mouse support provides mouse support. Deselect this option if a nonstandard mouse driver not compatible with Microsoft mouse is installed in your machine. [X] Load screen font loads national screen fonts of Dr. Web program. [X] Beep option enables and disables sound alarm on detecting known viruses in memory, boot sectors or files. [X] Autosave setup automatically saves the user-defined settings in the configuration file DRWEB.INI prior to ending a session or shelling to DOS. Additional preferences ---------------------- [X] "Snow" prevention If snow appears on CGA monitors, check this item to suppress the glow of electron beam in its reverse scanning path. [X] Screen output via BIOS uses BIOS Int 10h to send the output to the screen. This mode is very slow compared to direct access of videomemory which is the default mode. Check this item if problems arise in outputing to screen by direct access of videomemory. [X] Print "Ok" after filename writes "Ok" after the name of a file on the screen if the file is found clean in the course of testing. [X] Print packer name writes the name of the packer, achiver, or the encoder programs in the scanning progress window. This option is operative only if the CHECK PACKED, CHECK ARCHIVES, or CHECK E-MAIL box is selected in the FILES field of the panel displayed on choosing the OPTIONS command from the SETUP menu. [X] Report for each drive generates a report containing the scanning results upon completion of scanning a logical drive. To resume scanning, click or choose OK from the report panel. [X] Test one floppy only will not prompt you for testing another diskette. Deselect this option when you want to test more than one diskette. Language (if available) -------- tells Dr. Web to display menus and messages in the selected language if an alternative language is supported. Color Scheme ------------ Choosing one of the six option buttons, adjust the color display to suit best your preference: () Color 1 Default color scheme of Dr. Web program, ( ) Color 2 This scheme is created with Turbo Vision, ( ) Color 3 This scheme is drawn from Norton Utilities Version 5, ( ) Color 4 This scheme is drawn from ADinf program, ( ) Mono 1 Both these schemes display the message in white against black ( ) Mono 2 background. Choose Mono 1 or 2 that is best suited for your monitor. Screen height ------------- Vertical size of screen displays () 25 lines ( ) 30 lines ( ) 45 lines {} Main settings ------------- are the basic configuration parameters controlling the operation of Dr. Web. [X] Memory test tells Dr.Web to verify the memory at the start of each scanning session. The memory range to be tested is selected in this panel in the MEMORY RANGE field. Memory range ------------ ( ) 640 - conventional memory () 1088 - conventional memory, UMB, and HMA. [X] Boot sector test tells Dr.Web to scan the master boot record and boot sectors of drives. [X] Heuristic analysis tells Dr.Web to check files and boot sectors of drives for new and unknown viruses. In this mode Dr. Web will verify whether a program is an executable file or a virus code. [X] Check TSR viruses tells Dr.Web to check the changes in file size (if any) at the time of executing the seek and open commands. Many resident viruses infect a file when it is opened for reading or writing. Resident stealth viruses, on the contrary, try to conceal their presence in infected files. Files ----- field contains check boxes to tell Dr. Web to verify packed files and to cure infected files. The cure check box is operative only when the CURE command is chosen from the TEST menu or when its speedkey Ctrl-F5 is pressed. [X] Check packed When this box is selected, packed files will be exploded in a temporary directory prior to testing. For this purpose, you must specify a drive for creating a temporary directory in the TEMP DRIVE text box in the panel displayed on choosing the FILES... command from the SETUP menu. [X] Check archives box tells Dr.WEb to check the files inside an archive file created with ARJ, PKZIP, RAR, LHA, ZOO, ICE and HA. [X] Check E-mail tells Dr.Web to check the files encoded by UUENCODE and MIME utilities. [X] Delete damaged When this box is selected, Dr. Web will delete the virus infected and damaged files that do not yield to restoration. [X] Prompt for cure When this box is selected, Dr. Web will ascertain your intention prior to curing an infected file. When this box is deselected, Dr. Web will automatically remove virus codes from infected files. Infected files defines the method for -------------- removing viruses when cure command is selected. () Cure Deletes the virus codes from infected files. ( ) Delete Deletes infected files from the drive. ( ) Rename Renames infected files by substituting "V" for the first letter in the filename extension. Files of extensions COM and EXE are renamed with the default name but with extensions VOM and VXE, respectively. Report file will create a file for ----------- writting the results of every scanning mission. ( ) Don't create Report file is not created. ( ) Overwrite The results of every scanning mission will be overwritten in the report file. () Append The results of every scanning mission will be appended at the end of the existing report file. The name of the report file is to be specified in the menu box [Setup]|[Files]|[Report file name]. If the full pathname of the report file is entered in this box, the results of a scanning mission can be viewed through the command [Test]| [Report]. {} Virus database path ------------------- In this text box, you type and edit the path name of the directory where virus database files are stored. Database search pattern ----------------------- In the text box, you can type a search pattern for finding add-on update files to the main virus database. Upon finding them, Dr.Web automatically appends them to the main virus database DRWEBASE.VDB, which is released once along with the program update. Add-on files, DRWvvvnn.VDB, are released almost once every week. Registered users can obtain them free of cost from our authorized dealers. Temp drive ---------- In the text box, type the name letter of the drive where Dr. Web can create a temporary directory for exploding and testing packed files. The TEMP DRIVE must be READ/WRITE and have enough free space (about 500-1000 Kb) for storing temporary files. If there is a RAM drive of sufficient space in your machine, it is a good idea to specify it as a TEMP DRIVE as this will speed up the work. Report file name ---------------- In this text box, type the full pathname where you want Dr. Web to create a REPORT FILE for writing the results of scanning sessions. File type --------- field contains four option boxes for choosing the type of files to be tested: ( ) All files files of any extension; () By format files having internal structure of executable program modules (COM, EXE, SYS), Winword "macro containing" documents (DOC, DOT), and Excel spreadsheets (XL?); ( ) Programs executable files of extension COM, EXE, SYS, BAT, CMD, DRV, BIN, DLL, OV?, BOO, PRG, VXD, 386, SCR, FON, DO?, XL?, WIZ; ( ) User-defined In the text box under this └ COM EXE SYS field, you can enter and edit the type of files and their filename extension. Only files of the type specified in this text box will be tested and cured in scanning sessions, unless you type a different file specification in the panel displayed on choosing the SCAN command from the TEST menu. For example, if the user- defined files field specifies COM and EXE files but you specify BIN files in the SCAN command panel, then Dr. Web will verify only BIN files and ignore COM and EXE files in the current session. {} In the text field of the SCAN PATH panel, type the name of a drive, directory, subdirectory or file for testing and curing. The pathname can be specified with global wildcard characters; e.g., C:, C:\DOS, C:\DOS\*, C:\DOS\FILE.*, C:\DOS\*.*, ... If several paths are specified concurrently, they must be separated by intervening spaces, for example, C: D:\FILE.EXE E:\UTIL\UNKNOWN\*.COM. The global characters * and *: denote that all logical drives in the hard disk must be scanned. {} Insufficient space in TEMP DRIVE for exploding this packed file. Specify a different drive having sufficient free space for creating a temporary directory in the text box under TEMP DRIVE in the panel displayed on choosing the PATHS... command from the SETUP menu. Otherwise the whole or a part of the file will be skipped in scanning. {} This file or the boot sector of the drive is infected. Unless you permit Dr. Web to cure the situation, the consequences will be unpredictable and disastrous. {} Virus databases not found! Virus databases essential for searching and curing are missing. Check whether they exist in the disk or whether the path and pattern are properly specified in the VIRUS DATABASE PATH and DATABASE SEARCH PATTERN fields. {} Main virus database not found! There is no main virus database DRWEBASE.VDB. Check whether this file exists in the disk or whether the VIRUS DATABASE PATH and DATABASE SEARCH PATTERN fields of the FILES group in the SETUP panel are properly filled in. {} You have typed certain options that are not valid for Dr. Web command line. Type the command line properly and run Dr. Web once again. {} Memory seems to contain an active TSR virus. Reboot the computer from a "clean" bootable diskette containing the Dr. Web program and test the memory and drives in your system. {}
