Installation in the background mode.

To start the installation of Dr.Web in the background mode, enter the executable file name (win-es-agent-setup.exe) and specify necessary parameters. For example, to start background installation of Dr.Web with reboot after the process completes, execute the following command:

win-avd-agent-setup.exe /silent yes

The full list of command-line parameters can be found in Appendix A.

Installation in the graphical mode

1.Run the installation package received from the provider.

Note

If there is any anti-virus software installed on the computer, the Installation Wizard will attempt to remove it before starting the installation. If the attempt fails, you need to remove the current anti-virus software manually.

The window of Dr.Web Installation Wizard opens.

It is strongly recommended not to change the parameters without approval of the provider..

 

For details on parameters for connection to the central protection server, contact the provider.

In the Central protection server field, specify the network address of the server, from which Dr.Web is to be installed. This field is automatically filled in with parameters of the server selected for the installation.

To enable manual authorization on the server, select the corresponding check box. After that, specify the following authorization parameters: Identifier of the workstation and Password to access the server. In this case, the workstation does not require manual approval of the provider.

Note

When installing Dr.Web using the installation file created in Dr.Web Control Center, the Identifier and Password entry fields are filled in automatically if you selected the manual authorization option.

From the Compression and Encryption drop-down lists, select the required modes of transferring traffic between the server and Dr.Web.

To save the changes, click OK. This will return you to the previous window.

Note

If the attempt to establish connection fails, follow the link to check network parameters and/or try to connect to the server again by clicking the corresponding button.
