questions for you dr web users

cheers serge,i know that.

rather just leave it off for the guard

 

Good to hear from you Serge

I thought there must be a variable in the .ini file.
Will try it when I have time.
Thanx for the heads-up.

 

It's set to "Acknowledge Yes" by default

So THAT'S it!
I naively assumed "When to send a notification" only applied to remote recipients via email / across network.

Thanx

 

your notification settings if enabled show things like this........

thats what i wanted to see thanks for showing the notification thing chris.
lodore

 

no problem lodore,

if you have your spiderguard settings set correctly, you will never ever see the spiderguard box in the centre of the screen with the options such as shutdown etc, which one user complained he didnt like.

that box will only show if you have anything set to 'report' in your spiderguard settings, if you dont, and you enable notifications, it just pops up at the bottom and performs the action you stated automatically, as shown in the above screenshot.

hope that answers the question.

 

it sure does answer my question.
i always like av's to clean automatically but want a notfication about what it found and what it did with it.
but i didnt play with it much since i was to busy trying out linux live cd's lol

a few more examples of the notifications and spiderguard settings,

infected object (rootkit detection) - cure

Hacktools - delete

suspicious files - move to quarentine

http://show.imagehosting.us/show/1929556/0/nouser_1929/T0_-1_1929556.JPG

as you can see, if set up right, no report box in the centre of the screen, and depending on your settings, it does whatever you want it to, for the malware-type threat, pretty cool really, this is the way i prefer and have it set up myself, i prefer the automatic way, than the report and choose way.

although some others will prefer to choose as it happens with the report box, either way... it does the job

by the way, this is the released version but im sure its on the latest beta aswell.

 

cool
do you have the spidermail installed?
because my install would get stuck if i installed it with the spidermail the isntall would get stuck.
but if i uninstalled and unticked spidermail it installed fine.
also whats the different between the scanning mail tickbox in the spiderguard and spidermail?
lodore

 

sure do,

never had problems with install or uninstall of dr.web, ever.

so dont really know what to suggest to you for the spidermail.

when i tried to send an email to my address including a virus, it was spiderguard not spidermail that popped up with the notification when trying to send OUTGOING mail to myself.

if it does its job, im not really bothered

 

I was installing it on windows Me thou and it is an unstable OS.
but in the past i installed dr web beta on the same pc same os and the spidermail installed fine.
but the beta and the realased version spidermail now gets stuck lol.
so i installed it without
lodore

 

if you have installed the beta on it before and now it doesnt install, it sounds like a corrupt windows.

maybe try cleaning all entries of dr.web and downloading the package again, if it still doesnt have it, its a definate corrupt windows.

 

it did ask me for the windows cd at one point lol.
but hey what do i expect with windows ME
i could reinstall windows me at some point.
lodore

 

Thx C.S.J !!!!!!!
Finally i have "Perfect Settings "

 

and.......


right click the spider, control > notifications.

tick all 3 if you want it to do everything automatically (check your automatic spiderguard settings for this to make sure each file is handled accordingly)

 

@chris can you show me your drweb.ini file when you get the notifications in the system tray?
and the options in the program when you have the notifications in the system tray
thanks
lodore

 

not asking much are you lodore,

Infected: Cure (Primary Action - uses your notification for automatic removal)
suspicious: Move to Quarentine
adware: delete

delete the rest too, apart from Riskware which i have set to Move.

remember when changing PRIMARY ACTION, to click change and THEN apply or it will not be applied.

---------------------


to enable notifications:

Right Click spider > Control > Notifications

click the 3 at the top,

there you go,

 

thanks chris
it seems i just have to change the log file name because i dont have C:documents and settings/chrisjackson folder on my windows ME pc=D
btw the menus look alot nicer in xp than they do in windows ME
lodore

 

lol well yeah, ME sucks....

btw dell has said it could take 4 weeks - 8 weeks for my vista, im furious with em!

 

well duh windows Me sucks
omg 6-8weeks
well look on the plus side at least by that time drweb could be made vista compatible and you wont have to use another AV while waiting for the dr if you got it say tomorrow.
the waiting is annoying but the last few times ive had to wait ages for stuff i get extra stuff
lodore

 

im not the most patient of people,

i want my vista and my vista dr.web, it should all be out and delivered now, others have done

 

have you emailed drweb to ask and say where the hell is vista compatible drweb!?
lodore

 

nah cant be bothered to, will only be told to just wait.

although serge did say weeks ago that it was already 99% working,

i thought it would have arrived by now.
