Dr.Web Scanning Engine

The Dr.Web Scanning Engine scanning engine is designed to search for viruses and other malicious objects in files and boot records (MBR—Master Boot Record, VBR—Volume Boot Record) of disk devices. The component loads the anti-virus engine Dr.Web Virus-Finding Engine into memory and starts it as well as loads Dr.Web virus databases used by the engine for threat detection.

The scanning engine operates in daemon mode, as a service which receives scanning requests from other Dr.Web for UNIX components.
