Hello!
As the lead developer of the front end of the Control Center for Mac OS X I would like to reply to questions regarding the product.
We wanted to develop a product that
- is easy to use for everyone, yet flexible and feature rich enough to satisfy an advanced user
- doesn't hog the system while providing a high level of security
- is appealing and user-friendly
Essentially the product is a highly tunable on demand antivirus scanner currently based on the latest of the 4 series engine (although the solution is completely engine independent and the product may be shipped with the 5 series enginе in the release version).
In the backend it has a command line scanner (the same one shipped with Unix line of Dr.Web products) and an updater, which can be launched through the GUI frontend, manually or scheduled to launch automatically (default). The command line scanner can be used on its own as well.
The frontend of the Control Center is a Cocoa Application which handles all the work aside from file scanning. As the product is targeted both at novice and advanced users it has a lot of various settings which makes it flexible and powerful and also it doesn't require any kind of configuration to be fully usable and useful. In the release version we are going to make the product scriptable via AppleScript.
If you have any more questions, please ask! I will be very glad to answer them!
