              Copyright (c) 1992-2004, Igor Daniloff

     Anti-virus laboratory of Igor Daniloff, DialogueScience, Inc.

This package is a representative of the antivirus program family DrWeb32
(including programs for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP, DOS/386, OS/2 and
Novell NetWare). The package programs are to work for Unix-systems - Linux,
FreeBSD and Solaris (Intel). The package includes daemon and scanner.

The daemon may be used by various systems of data processing as a linkable
external antivirus filter. For example, mail systems may be quite easily
and flexibly set so that daemon will check the e-mail messages going through
the mail server. With the help of the daemon "on the fly" file check may be
organised on file servers. 

The scanner supports the same features as all other scanners from DrWeb32
family and may be launched from the command line.

The package also includes the following obligatory platform-independent
components used by all the programs of DrWeb32 family.

- drweb32.dll file, antivirus engine,
- drwebase.vdb file, main database of known viruses description.


               Limitations

Both the scanner and the daemon do not test boot sectors and main memory.
If the evaluation key is used the following limitations are imposed: the
scanner does not perform curing of infected objects, checking of the files
placed into archives, into mail bases and packed by the programs for
executable modules compression (DIET, PKLITE etc.). The same limitations
valid for daemon except for working with mail bases and packed programs.
To turn the evaluation version into a full-functional one you should
register it.



           Installation and setting

DrWeb will be installed into directories /opt/drweb and /var/drweb by default.
Daemon and scanner settings must be in configuration file drweb32.ini 
located in /etc/drweb.

The distribution includes scanner and daemon documentation and program
clients' source texts, demonstrating the technology of interaction with 
daemon. Separately antivirus filters organisation packages for various mail
(Sendmail, Qmail, Postfix, Exim, Communigate Pro, Zmailer) and file (Samba)
servers are delivered.

To read a brief help text for command line options, please launch each of
the programs with "-?", "-help" or "--help" option.
