Dr.Web for Unix Server

Dr.Web for Unix Server is a high performance anti-virus for Samba file storages run under Unix-like operating systems (Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris). With its ability to process huge amounts of data in real-time, reliable operation, and flexible configuration, Dr.Web for Unix Server meets the requirements of companies of any size.

Samba SpIDer is a file monitor for a Samba server. Implemented as a loadable plugin for a virtual file system (vfs), Samba interface, it also operates as a client communicating with Dr.Web Daemon and receives scanning requests

Advantages

• High performance and stability
• High-speed scanning combined with low consumption of system resources allows Dr.Web to run smoothly on any server hardware
• Flexible, client-oriented configuration of scanning and actions performed with detected viruses or suspicious files
• Perfect compatibility – the anti-virus doesn’t conflict with any known firewall or file monitor
• Easy administration, simple installation, and configuration

Unique engine features

• Scans archived files at any nesting level
• Reliable detection of packed objects (even if the compression format is unknown to Dr.Web), their detailed analysis aimed at exposing hidden threats
• Leader in detecting and neutralizing complex rootkits.
• Intelligent scan technologies allow viruses to be blocked making it less likely for malware to exploit the vulnerability of a third-party application or the operating system

Detection of unknown threats

• FLY-CODE is a unique universal decompression technology enabling Dr.Web to unpack data that has been compressed with unknown packers
• The cutting-edge, non-signature scan technology Origins Tracing™ ensures the high probability that viruses unknown to Dr.Web will be detected
• The heuristic analyzer, whose analyses are based on criteria that is typical of various groups of malicious programs, detects most known threats

Dr.Web for Unix Server can be purchased as a component of Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite.

Dr.Web for Unix Server is also included in low-cost Dr.Web Universal bundle for small and medium companies.

Key features

• On-demand and scheduled scanning of server volumes
• On-the-fly scan –checks files for viruses as they are about to be written or opened
• Multi-thread scan
• Automatic disconnection of workstations from the server as soon as they’ve been identified as threat sources
• Instant notifications for the administrators and their groups via e-mail, short messages sent to a phone, or pager
• Isolation of infected files in the quarantine
• Curing, restoration, and removal of quarantined objects
• Anti-virus actions log
• Automatic updating of virus databases

Updating

Always up-to-date

• Updating over the Internet, whether automatically or according to a schedule, doesn’t require user interference. Updating can also be launched manually.
• Updating is very quick even if a slow Internet connection is used.
• Updating servers are always available.
• Updates can be retrieved from an HTTP server.
• In most cases, there is no need to reboot the system to complete updating; Dr.Web starts using the updated modules and latest virus definitions right away
• Updates are small (50-200KB).
• To save traffic the anti-virus can be set to update virus databases only However, enabling this option is not recommended. To counter the latest threats, Dr.Web undergoes constant refinement. New features are incorporated in updated modules of an anti-virus package and are downloaded from Doctor Web's server automatically during regular updating sessions.
• You can also reduce traffic by downloading updates as archived files A special data-compression algorithm used by Doctor Web allows reducing size of downloaded updates. Patch files are used to deliver minor additions and fixes for virus database or program modules. The special compression algorithm applied to such patches dramatically reduces the amount of transferred data.

Virus monitoring service

• The Doctor Web virus monitoring service collects samples of malicious programs all over the Internet to create antidotes and release updates as soon as analyses are completed — as often as several times per hour.
• As soon as an update is released, users can retrieve it from several servers located at various points of the globe.
• To avoid false positives an update is tested over a huge number of uninfected files before it is released.
• The intelligent system automatically adds entries for similar viruses into the database, ensuring the prompt neutralization of emerging threats.

System requirements

• Linux distributions with kernel version 2.4.x and higher;
• FreeBSD v.6.х and higher for Intel x86 platform;
• Solaris v.10 for Intel x86 platform.
