- Doctor Web for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000
- (Dr.Web for Windows 95-2000)
-
- Version 4.26
- Copyright (c) 1992-2001, Igor Daniloff
-
- Anti-virus laboratory of Igor Daniloff, DialogueScience, Inc.
-
-
- This program is a representative of the 32-bit family of antivirus scanner
- Doctor Web (or, briefly, DrWeb). This family, DrWeb32, includes programs
- for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000, DOS/386, OS/2, Novell NetWare, Linux, and
- FreeBSD.
-
- The program is designed for 32-bit Windows (i.e. Windows 95/98/Me,
- Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000).
-
-
- INSTALLATION NOTES
-
- The Doctor Web for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000 distribution package includes the
- following programs:
-
- DrWeb32W - graphical version of Doctor Web for Windows 95-2000;
- DrWebWCL - console version of Doctor Web for Windows 95-2000
- (no graphical interface);
- SpIDer - memory-resident guard for Windows 95-2000;
- DrWeb386 - console version of Doctor Web for DOS/386;
- DrWebScd - Doctor Web Scheduler.
-
- These components are briefly described below. Since they are mutually
- independent, you can install them in any combination.
-
- To install DrWeb32, run the SETUP program included in the distribution
- package and follow on-screen instructions. If the distribution package
- is delivered as an EXE file, run this file.
-
- Note that all DrWeb32 programs are installed in the same directory. The
- distribution packages of all family members include two common files,
- DRWEB32.DLL (DrWeb32's engine) and DRWEBASE.VDB (main virus database).
- All new virus base adds-on should also be placed in the same directory.
-
- The configuration file DRWEB32.INI is also common to all family members and
- can be placed in the same directory (for instance, DRWEB32). However, each
- product uses its own section in the INI-file, except for DrWeb32W and
- DrWebWCL that share the same section.
-
- Log files are created in the same directory, separately for each product,
- and are given, by default, the filename <program>.LOG.
-
- Additionally, the DrWeb32 distribution kit may include language resource files
- named <language>.DWL (for instance, RUSSIAN.DWL, GERMAN.DWL, etc.) that
- contain program messages written in the respective language. The language
- resource files are common to all programs of the DrWeb32 family.
-
- In the program with graphical interface (DrWeb32W), language can be changed
- from a special menu in the main window. Or, in any version, language can be
- changed by the /LNG command line option.
-
- Updating the program via the Internet requires WININET.DLL. This library is
- usually installed by Windows standard setup, but it may be missing in
- earlier versions of Windows 95 and NT. If the "Library not found" error occurs
- when you try to update DrWeb32W, obtain the library (it's available from the
- same source as DrWeb32) and place it to DrWeb's directory. However, if the
- library already exists in your system, we do not recommend its replacement
- since it might result in the library's version incompatibility.
-
-
- DOCTOR WEB FOR WINDOWS 95-2000
-
- This version offers two variants, graphical (DrWeb32W) and command
- line (DrWebWCL). Both programs support the same command line options given
- below. However, DrWeb32W can be configured via dialog panels, which is
- usually more convenient. On the other hand, DrWebWCL requires less system
- resources.
-
- Both programs use the same configuration file and the same option group in
- it. You can alternatively use both variants, whichever is more convenient at
- a given time.
-
- Dr.Web for Windows 95-2000 can work with ADinf32 and ADinf for DOS, but
- would refuse to communicate with 16-bit ADinf for Windows.
-
-
- RUNNING DOCTOR WEB
-
- All console versions of DrWeb32 (i.e. non-graphical DrWebWCL, DrWeb386,
- DrWeb2CL) can be launched by using the command line as described below in
- "Using the Command Line for the DrWeb32 family programs". The graphical
- version of DrWeb for Windows 95-2000 (DrWeb32W) can also be started with a
- command line, although you would normally use the program's icon on the
- Windows desktop.
-
- In addition to this traditional technique, the graphical interface supports a
- higher level of integration with the system GUI. Now, when you right-click on
- individual or selected objects of the file system (such as files, folders, and
- disks), you will see a new item, "Check by DrWeb", in the context menu. This
- method is also available in Explorer.
-
- WARNING! This feature appears in the context menu only if DrWeb was installed
- by using the distribution kit. If DrWeb was updated via the Internet, the
- system is not reconfigured to enable the feature.
-
- Whenever you request DrWeb to perform an antivirus check, your request is sent
- to an active copy of DrWeb, if any. This makes the check process faster, since
- no time is required to launch unnecessary instances of the program.
-
- If your request is sent to an active copy of DrWeb, the check process uses the
- settings configured for this copy. If there is no active copy of DrWeb running
- in memory, DrWeb is launched with the following options:
-
- - all files are checked regardless of the file extension;
- - archives and packed files are checked;
- - recursive scan of subfolders is enabled;
- - heuristic analyzer is enabled.
-
- After processing the request, DrWeb remains in memory. This lets you easily
- examine the check results.
-
- Note that you can send multiple request to DrWeb simultaneously, even if it's
- processing another request at that moment. All requests are queued and served
- sequentially.
-
- Besides, DrWeb for Windows 95-2000 can process requests posted by using the
- drag'n'drop operation. To check a file or folder (or a group of selected
- objects), just drag and drop it onto the main menu of DrWeb active copy, or,
- if DrWeb is not running at the moment, drop it onto the DrWeb icon on the
- Windows desktop.
-
-
- SPIDER FOR WINDOWS 95-2000
-
- Now, the Dr.Web for Windows 95-2000 distribution kit includes a
- memory-resident anti-virus program called SpIDer Guard for Windows 95-2000,
- or briefly SpIDer.
-
- SpIDer intercepts all attempts to access files and disk system areas and
- checks them for viruses "on-the-fly". Having detected a virus, SpIDer
- removes or locks it, granting access to the infected file only if it has
- been successfully cured.
-
- SpIDer can operate in a special mode when it's able to detect and block a
- virus-like activity (i.e. attempts to infect files and other objects on your
- hard disk) of any (even unknown) virus.
-
- SpIDer uses the same virus database and program kernel as Dr.Web for Windows
- 95-2000 does.
-
- SpIDer is included in the Dr.Web for Windows 95-2000 Distribution Kit and
- is installed with the same Setup program. On installation the Setup program
- configures SpIDer for automatic startup in subsequent Windows sessions.
-
- At startup, SpIDer checks the computer memory. After that, SpIDer's icon
- appears on the Windows System tray. Right click this icon to invoke SpIDer's
- menu, or double click the icon to open the Options dialog where you can
- reconfigure SpIDer.
-
-
- CONFIGURING SPIDER
-
- WARNING! Any changes to SpIDer's settings will take effect only after you
- restart Windows.
-
- Once started, SpIDer cannot be manually terminated. Uncheck the "Load at
- startup" box in the Options dialog to prevent SpIDer from auto-loading at
- Windows startup.
-
- There are several options used to configure SpIDer. File operations to be
- hooked by SpIDer are determined by the "Scan on-access mode" checkbox group.
- You can activate the following modes:
-
- "Run and Open" - check files when they are opened or executed;
- "Create and Write" - check new files when they are created, check existing
- files when they are changed;
- "Smart" - (1) on local hard disks, check files only when they are changed
- (thus, files aren't checked when they are launched. This mode
- assumes that you've already scanned newly created and modified
- file. Nevertheless, we recommend that you regularly scan your
- system, particularly after updating DrWeb or virus base
- adds-on);
- (2) on removable and network drives, files are checked whenever
- they are opened Read-Only or Read-Write (this mode combines
- the functionality of "Run and Open" and "Create and Write").
-
- Note: This version of SpIDer can intercept an attempt to access network
- drives provided it's installed over a standard Microsoft Network Client only.
- This feature may not work with other network clients, for example, a Novell
- client.
-
- If the "Virus activity control" box is checked, SpIDer can detect and block
- virus-like attempts to infect files, even if such attempts are made by
- unknown infectors and viruses that can't be recognized by the heuristic
- analyzer.
-
- WARNING! Certain viruses may corrupt a file when their infectious attempts
- are blocked by SpIDer.
-
-
- OTHER FEATURES OF SPIDER
-
- If you are trying to shutdown MS Windows 95/98/Me with a floppy disk inserted
- in drive A:, SpIDer will scan the diskette to make sure it's not infected.
- This technique protects you against unintentional booting from an infected
- diskette.
-
- Please note that if SpIDer is configured to check files when they are opened,
- scanning your system with DrWeb may take a considerably longer time since
- each object will be checked twice - by SpIDer and DrWeb. If you are going to
- use both programs concurrently, you should carefully configure each of them
- to avoid duplicate checking.
-
-
- SPECIFIC NOTES: SPIDER FOR WINDOWS NT/2000
-
- SpIDer Guard for Windows NT/2000 (or, briefly, SpIDerNT) is a memory-resident
- activity monitor designed to run under Windows NT 4.0 WorkStation and
- Windows 2000 Professional.
-
- This edition of SpIDerNT is not intended for a server, primarily,
- due to the fact that a server and workstation require an essentially
- different functionality from the activity monitor. We are planning to
- release a special edition of SpIDer Guard for the server platforms of
- Windows NT/2000.
-
- Hardware configuration required by SpIDerNT:
- - CPU: Intel Pentium 166 (Intel Celeron 266 or faster recommended);
- Alpha-based systems are not supported;
- - RAM: 32 MB (64 MB or more recommended).
-
- WARNING! More detailed information is given in SPIDERNT.TXT included in the
- distribution kit. PLEASE READ IT BEFORE USING THE PROGRAM!
-
-
- DOCTOR WEB FOR DOS/386
-
- Functionally, DrWeb386 and the traditional DrWeb for DOS are very much alike.
- In certain aspects, however, DrWeb386 is substantially different from DrWeb
- for DOS. It runs in the "command line" mode only and requires 386 (or higher)
- processor. However, the new program's strong points are:
-
- - minimum requirements to the conventional memory. The program can operate
- in the environment with less than 200K of main memory;
-
- - support of the latest (memory-consuming) archive methods, employed by RAR
- 2.00, etc.;
-
- - faster scan process. As compared with the 16-bit version, DrWeb32 may
- show increase in performance by 15-20% (if DrWeb16 is optimally configured)
- up to 300% (if DrWeb16 runs in a particularly unfriendly environment.)
-
- DrWeb386 can be recommended for antivirus checking under DOS, just before
- the Windows environment is loaded.
-
- To install DrWeb386, run the setup program included in the DrWeb for Windows
- 95-2000 distribution package.
-
-
- UPDATE SUBSYSTEM OF DOCTOR WEB
-
- The update subsystem enables an automatic delivery and installation
- of updates for Dr.Web for Windows 95-2000 via the Internet or local network.
- The subsystem is used to update all components of the package, including
- program modules, virus databases, help files, and documentation.
-
- On the client's side, i.e. on the workstation where Dr.Web for Windows
- 95-2000 is installed, the update process is supported by the special
- program module, DRWEBUPW.EXE.
-
- As a rule, the update module, DrWebUpW, is called from the main menu of
- the antivirus scanner, DrWeb32W. In this case, the update subsystem can
- conveniently be configured from the setup panel of DrWeb32W.
-
- Sometimes (for instance, if you didn't install all components of the Dr.Web
- for Windows 95-2000 package) you might have to run the update module
- directly. You can start the update module with the /GO, /QU, /INI, and /LNG
- options (they have the same meaning as described in the Command Line Options
- section).
-
- Reports of update sessions are written to the DRUPDATE.LOG file.
-
- The main option of the update subsystem is configured with the following line:
-
- UpdateURL = "network or local resource"
-
- where the resource is one of the following:
-
- 1) Directory on a local or network drive, e.g. "F:\DRWEB\UPDATE";
-
- 2) Network (UNC) directory, e.g. "\\UPDATE_SERVER\DRWEB\UPDATE".
-
- 3) HTTP URL. Updating via Internet supports the HTTP protocol only.
- By default, the update subsystem is pre-configured to connect to
- the non-commercial area of DialogueScience www-server:
- "HTTP://WWW.DIALS.RU/DRWEB/FREE". At this URL, the update is available
- to any user.
-
- For commercial update, change URL to: "HTTP://WWW.DIALS.RU/DRWEB/<area>"
- and specify your user name and password (see details below).
-
- The <area> parameter may assume one of the following values:
- ENGLISH - English version (smallest package);
- RUSSIAN - English-Russian version;
- FULL - polylingual version (largest package).
-
- In all these areas, Doctor Web variants are functionally identical and
- offer different language support only. We may also support commercial areas
- for other languages (for instance, GERMAN for the English-German version).
-
- If access to the URL is restricted, the following options must also be
- specified:
-
- UserName = "user name"
- Password = "password"
-
- If you update from the DialogueScience server, the user name and password
- are given to you by DialogueScience Registration Service (reg@dials.ru).
- Otherwise, ask your Internet administrator for the user name and password.
-
- ATTENTION: system administrators.
- If you wish to enable your users to update DrWeb32 from your own www-server
- or via your local network, create a special folder and place there all files
- obtained by the update subsystem from the respective area (free or commercial)
- of our server. In addition, place DRWEB32.LST (package description) to the
- same folder. If the package does not include this file, you may download
- it from:
-
- HTTP://WWW.DIALS.RU/DRWEB/<area>/DRWEB32.LST
-
- For commercial areas, an administrator must be registered by
- DialogueScience as a customer entitled to update via the Internet.
-
-
- DOCTOR WEB SCHEDULER
-
- The Dr.Web for Windows 95-2000 distribution kit includes a special
- component, DrWebScd. This program is a simple scheduler that allows you to
- manage an automatic launch of applications, in particular, the antivirus
- scanner or the update subsystem of Doctor Web.
-
- By using Doctor Web Scheduler, you manage the so called "tasks". Each task
- describes when, how, and what application to run. Scheduler runs the
- application in accordance with this description and also allows you to
- view task list, create and delete tasks. You can also edit task
- description and enable/disable tasks.
-
- When Scheduler is active (running), its icon appears on the System Tray.
- Double-clicking (or right-clicking) this icon opens a window that shows
- Scheduler's main menu and task list.
-
- Normally, Scheduler is configured to run automatically at Window startup.
- If you want to disable this feature for the next Windows session, click
- Options on the main menu bar and uncheck the Load at Startup item.
-
- Each task has the following attributes:
- - Title: an arbitrary name of the task;
- - Path: full path to the scheduled application;
- - Parameters: command line options, if any, for the application;
- - Schedule: the program supports the following types of schedule:
- - Once. You must specify exact date and time to run the application;
- - Hourly. You must specify the minute of each hour to run the
- application;
- - Weekly. You must specify the day of week and time to run the
- application;
- - Monthly. You must specify the day of month and time to run the
- application;
- - Yearly. You must specify the day, month and time to run the
- application;
- - Daily. Unlike the Weekly schedule, here you can specify several days
- of week and time to run the application.
-
- You can temporarily disable a task (without actually deleting the task
- from the schedule). To do so, in the task settings you should clear the
- Enable checkbox.
-
- Note. If a task has not been launched on time (say, because the computer
- was turned off), Scheduler will run the application as scheduled for the
- next time. The current version does not support running "past due"
- applications.
-
- Examples of typical tasks are given below.
-
- 1) Update - automatic update of Doctor Web, scheduled weekly for Monday at
- 10:15, launches DrWebUpW (update program) from the Doctor Web home
- directory. Command-line parameters: /GO. It is assumed that the update
- program is properly configured for updates via the Internet or your local
- network.
-
- 2) Daily_Scan - launches the antivirus scanner DrWebWCL daily at 10:30 to
- scan the G:\INCOMING folder which is used as a container for new files.
- Command-line parameters: G:\INCOMING /GO /WA /HA /FM /TM- /TB-
-
- 3) Full_Scan - launches the antivirus scanner DrWebWCL periodically, on
- Wednesday and Friday at 13:00, for full scan of memory and all fixed
- drives. Command-line parameters: * /GO /WA /HA /AL
-
- If you choose to install the Scheduler component when installing Doctor
- Web, the SETUP program will activate Scheduler and create several typical
- tasks. However, all tasks will be disabled (the Enable checkbox is not
- selected). Thus, you will have a ready-to-use schedule that you can edit
- to suit your specific needs. Select the Enable checkbox for the task you
- want to run.
-
-
- REGISTRATION KEYS FOR THE DRWEB32 FAMILY
-
- For the DrWeb32 programs, there is an important file, a registration user key.
- Without a registration key, all DrWeb32 members offer a limited functionality
- only, as described below:
-
- - at each startup, the evaluation version displays a warning (saying that
- it's an evaluation version);
- - archives aren't checked;
- - e-mail message files aren't checked;
- - packed executable files aren't checked;
- - heuristic analyzer is disabled;
- - infected and suspicious files cannot be cured, deleted, removed or renamed.
-
- Without a registration key, the DrWeb32 family members may be redistributed
- without any restriction.
-
- To enable an enhanced preview of Doctor Web features, DialogueScience freely
- distributes a special evaluation registration key, the DRWEVAL.KEY file,
- that removes some of the restrictions mentioned above. However, this key only
- works with the one version of DrWeb (that is attached to the key). With
- the evaluation key, DrWeb32 will have the following restrictions:
-
- - at each startup, the evaluation version displays a warning (saying that
- it's an evaluation version);
- - archives aren't checked;
- - e-mail message files aren't checked;
- - infected files cannot be cured.
-
- In some cases DialogueScience and its dealers can also distribute other
- evaluation registration keys, with other set of restrictions.
-
- To use all features of DrWeb32, a user must purchase a commercial
- registration key. This key, as well as an evaluation key, is a special
- file generated by UserKey. When placed in the DrWeb32 home directory,
- the key enables the full-featured commercial operation of DrWeb32. The key
- contains a user name, duration and some other information, and is protected
- against fraud with a digital signature.
-
- The DrWeb32 programs may be distributed in various forms, for instance,
- as an installation package or just as an archive. The installation package
- may include images of 3.5" (1.44 MB) floppy disks. Disk #1 contains
- the installation program, SETUP.EXE. The registration key can be placed
- on this disk, too. In this case the key is automatically copied to
- the DrWeb32 directory.
-
- The distribution kit may be contained in a single EXE-file that performs
- the installation. In this case (or, if the key is shipped to the user
- separately from DrWeb), the key must be placed to the DrWeb directory
- after the installation.
-
- If you tried an evaluation copy of DrWeb32 and have received a commercial
- registration key, please copy it to the DrWeb32 directory.
-
-
- KNOWN PROBLEMS OF DOCTOR WEB FOR WINDOWS 95-2000
-
- 1) Incompatibility with the installed version of COMCTL32.DLL
-
- Manifestation: an attempt to open the Setup dialog results in a system error,
- "Division error in USER.EXE"
-
- Reason: outdated version of COMCTL32.DLL
-
- Recommendation: update COMCTL32.DLL. The update package for COMCTL32.DLL
- (some 500 Kb) is available:
- - from Microsoft: FTP://FTP.MICROSOFT.COM/SOFTLIB/MSLFILES/40COMUPD.EXE
- - from DialogueScience: FTP://FTP.DIALS.RU/PUB/40COMUPD.EXE
-
- If you obtained the DialogueScience distribution kit on a CD-ROM,
- check the CD-ROM first. You may find the update package, 40COMUPD.EXE,
- in the PUB subdirectory.
-
-
- COMMAND LINE OPTIONS FOR DRWEB32 FAMILY PROGRAM
-
- To start Doctor Web, use the following command line:
-
- <program> [disk:][path] [options]
-
- where
- program - executable module name (DrWeb32W for the graphical
- Windows-version, DrWebWCL for the command line Windows-version,
- or DrWeb386 for DOS/386-version);
- disk: - logical drive of a hard disk, floppy drive, network drive, CD-ROM,
- or * (all local logical drives);
- path - location of files to be checked; it may contain path to the
- directory on local/network drive (or network directory) and,
- optionally, filename (or filename mask).
-
- The command line may contain several [disk:][path] parameters delimited with
- blanks. In this case, the program will sequentially scan the specified objects.
- When scan is finished, DrWebWCL and DrWeb386 terminate. DrWeb32W (if started
- without /QU) opens its main window where the user can specify new objects
- to scan, view the scan results, customize the settings, update or terminate
- the program. If started without the [disk:][path] parameter, DrWeb32W
- immediately opens its main window.
-
- Command line options (delimited with blanks)
-
- /@[+]<file> - check objects listed in <file>.
- Each object must be identified on a separate line containing
- a full pathname (to check file) or the "?boot" keyword (to check
- boot sectors). The list file can be created with any text editor.
- When scan is completed, Doctor Web deletes the list file, unless
- "+" is included in the option.
- A list file can also be generated by ADinf. In this case, the
- integrity checker will include in the file modified objects only.
- Then, this list can be used by Doctor Web to limit the scan scope,
- which can substantially reduce overall scan time. If ADinf32 is
- configured to launch Doctor Web, the integrity checker inserts
- the /@ option in the command line and starts the scanner
- automatically (see ADinf32 Manual for details);
- /AL - scans all files on a given drive or directory;
- /AR[N] - scans all files inside archives created by ARJ, CAB, GZIP, TAR, RAR,
- ZIP without curing. The N option suppresses the name of the archive
- utility after the name of the archived file;
- /CU[RDM][P] - cures infected files and disk system areas. Use the optional
- parameters to specify how infected filed should be treated:
- R - rename (by default, the extension's first character is changed to
- "#"), D - delete, M - move (by default, to the INFECTED.!!! directory);
- P - prompt before action;
- /SP[RDM][P] - specifies how to treat suspicious files: R - rename, D - delete,
- M - move; P - prompt before action;
- /IC[RDM][P] - specifies how to treat incurable files: R - rename, D - delete,
- M - move; P - prompt before action;
- /DA - runs Dr.Web only once in a day. For this option, the configuration file,
- (INI-file) containing the date of the next scanning session must be
- present. This option is useful for starting DrWeb386 automatically
- from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file only once in a day on booting the computer;
- /EX - scans files that have extensions associated with executable modules
- and MS Office documents (COM, EXE, SYS, BAT, CMD, DRV, BIN, DLL, OV?,
- BOO, PRG, VXD, 386, SCR, FON, DO?, XL?, WIZ, RTF, CL*, HT*, VBS, JS*,
- INF, A??, ZIP, R??, PP?, HLP, OBJ, LIB, MD?, INI, MBR, IMG, CSC, CPL,
- MBP);
- /FM - scans files (regardless of the extension) whose internal format is
- that of an executable module or MS Office document with macros (such
- as MS Word or Excel files);
- /GO - goes without asking you what to do next (in such situations as not
- enough disk space for unpack operation, invalid parameters in the
- command line, DrWeb infected by unknown virus, etc.). This option
- might be useful, say, for automatic check of incoming e-mail;
- /HA - enables the heuristic analyzer that can detect unknown viruses;
- /INI:<path> - uses an alternative configuration file (INI-file);
- /NI - ignores the settings in the configuration file (DRWEB32.INI);
- /LNG[:<path>] - uses an alternative language file (DWL-file), or built-in
- (English) language;
- /ML - check files of e-mail format (UUENCODE, XXENCODE, BINHEX and MIME);
- /NS - runs non-stop (no interruption by pressing ESC);
- /OK - writes a full list of scanned objects and displays "OK" next to clean
- objects;
- /PF - displays the "Scan another diskette?" prompt after checking a floppy
- disk;
- /PR - prompts to confirm an action on an infected or suspicious file;
- /QU - quits the program when scan is finished (DrWeb32W only);
- /RP[+]<file> - writes the scan results to a file (by default,
- <program>.LOG), <file> is the full pathname of a report file. If the
- plus sign is included, the recent report will be appended to the
- report file; otherwise the report file will be overwritten;
- /NR - does not create report file;
- /SD - scans subdirectories;
- /SO - plays sounds;
- /SS - saves current settings when the program terminates;
- /TB - scans boot sectors and master boot record;
- /TM - scans memory for viruses (including Windows system memory for DrWeb32W
- and DrWebWCL);
- /UP[N] - checks executable files packed by ASPACK, COMPACK, DIET, EXEPACK,
- LZEXE, OPTLINK, PECOMPACT, PEPACK, PGMPAK, PKLITE, WWPACK, WWPACK32,
- UCEXE, UPX; files converted by BJFNT, COM2EXE, CONVERT, CRYPTCOM,
- CRYPTEXE, PECRYPT, PESHIELD, PROTECT, TINYPROG; and files immunized by
- CPAV, F-XLOCK, PGPROT, VACCINE.
- N - suppresses the compression utility name after the name of the
- archived file;
- /WA - waits after scan is finished if viruses or suspicious objects were found
- (DrWebWCL and DrWeb386 only);
- /? - displays help.
-
- If INI-file is not present or not used, the default options are:
- /AR /FM /HA /ML /PR /SD /TB /TM /UP
-
- Some options can be postfixed with the "-" character. This "negation" form
- disables the respective function or mode. It might be useful if the mode is
- enabled by default or via settings in the INI-file.
-
- The negation form can be applied to the following command-line options:
- /AR /CU /FN /HA /IC /ML /OK /PF /PR /SD /SO /SP /SS /TB /TM /UP /WA
-
- Note that the negation form of /CU, /IC and /SP cancels all actions enabled
- by these options. It means that information about infected and suspicious
- objects will appear in the report file only.
-
- /AL, /EX and /FM cannot be used in the negation form. However, any of these
- options disables the other two.
-
-
- RETURN CODES FOR DRWEBWCL AND DRWEB386
-
- The values of the return code and corresponding events are as follows:
-
- 0 - OK, no virus found
- 1 - known virus detected
- 2 - modification of known virus detected
- 4 - suspicious object found
- 8 - known virus detected in archive
- 16 - modification of known virus detected in archive
- 32 - suspicious file found in archive
- 64 - at least one virus successfully cured
- 128 - at least one infected or suspicious file deleted/renamed/moved
-
- The actual value returned by the program is equal to the sum of codes for
- the events that occurred during scanning. Obviously, the sum can be easily
- decomposed into separate event codes.
-
- For example, return code 9 = 1 + 8 means that known viruses were detected,
- including viruses in archives; curing and others actions were not executed;
- no other "virus" events occurred during scanning.
-
-
- CONFIGURATION FILE, SETTINGS
-
- The configuration settings are contained in DRWEB32.INI. This file is located
- in the same directory as DrWeb32W and SpIDer programs. If the configuration
- file is missing, the program will use default settings.
-
- Most settings can be configured via the menu system. However, certain
- settings can be changed only by editing the INI-file. Some of them are
- described below.
-
- The INI-file is just a text file that can be edited by any text editor. This
- file is shared by all members of the DrWeb32 family. And settings used by
- DrWeb32 programs are grouped in several separate sections.
-
- WARNING! You must terminate Doctor Web and SpIDer before editing the
- corresponding section of INI-file.
-
- [SpiderGuard98] section (it is for SpIDer 95/98/Me)
- [SpiderGuardNT] section (it is for SpIDer NT/2000)
-
- - UpdateFlags - list of files whose modification requires that virus bases be
- automatically reloaded.
-
- - UpdatePeriod - interval (in minutes) at which the files listed in
- UpdateFlags are repeatedly checked for modification. UpdatePeriod=0 disables
- automatic bases reloading.
-
- SpIDer can automatically reload virus bases without reloading the SpIDer
- program itself. This feature works as follows. By using the UpdateFlags
- option, you declare one or several files as "flags". These files are then
- checked for changes regularly, at the interval specified with the
- UpdatePeriod option. If any of the flag files has been updated, all virus
- bases are reloaded. For instance, it is convenient to use drwtoday.vdb
- (a "hot" add-on to the virus base) as a flag.
-
-
-
- LIMITATIONS IN THIS VERSION OF THE DRWEB32 FAMILY PROGRAMS
-
- - Virus check in archives is supported only for ARJ, CAB, GZIP, TAR, RAR, ZIP.
