  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Turn off DrWeb Anti-Virus

Regular Pleskian
How do I totally turn off DrWeb on my Linux servers with Plesk 9.2?

I have changed all of the settings to NO DrWeb that I can find in the Plesk control panel (email settings) and still it keeps trying to download files (which fails), ever 1 second on one server and less often on the other. I know this by reviewing /var/log/messages.

example:
/var/drweb/updates/drw50033.txt - drw50033.txt with such CRC32 already exists, downloading has been skipped
Thousands of entries like this!

I would like to stop this wasted server load. I do not need DrWeb, it is just problems. I have noticed the more I can turn it off, the better they run. I have never seen it stop anything, maybe it never works, or maybe my windows clients are already protected. I looks like DrWeb is the Virus!

Thanks for any help.

You can just remove it with something like:

rpm -e drweb-updater psa-drweb-configurator drweb-base drweb-daemon
