Issue dr-web update fails with "section [daemon] not found"

PeterKi

Regular Pleskian
I am running plesk onyx 17.0.17 and I get the following error for dr-web, which indicates that something with the setup of dr-web is not correct.
When I check the modules at Tools&Settings -> Updates and Upgrades I cannot even find a dr-web module.
So what can I do to solve the problem?

/etc/cron.daily/drweb-update:
Tue Apr 4 04:56:05 2017 {W} [17587] Dr.Web Updater ($Id: fbb3ca1734c5e75ae3008acef02c2f1032ac44cf $) started ...

ERROR: Dr.Web Updater: failed to load parameters - section [daemon] not found in /etc/drweb/drweb32.ini !

And this is the contents of drweb32.ini
NotifyPeriod = 2
NotifyType = Everyday
 
Thanks for pointing me to the solution which I unfortunately did not find myself when I was searching for the issue.
I updated the drweb32.ini and the problem seems to have gone now.

What I am still looking for is the location of the drweb module within the plesk GUI.
Is it selectable and if so where? Or is it always built in?

You can just choose Used antivirus in Mail Server Settings:

Ah, I see.
I did not know that drweb was the tool behind "Plesk Premium Antivirus" (maybe it should be mentioned in parenthesis)

I have in fact activated Kaspersky Antivirus which is exclusive to "Plesk Premium Antivirus"
Doesn't that should imply the uninstallation of drweb at all?
 
Just go to Updates and Upgrades and you will see that you can install both antivirus solutions:

Igor you're great.
Thanks a lot for the clarification.
I have indeed selected all 6 of 6 Mail hosting addons.
What confused me is that on the Tools & Setting -> Antivirus (under the Mail section) I see the config screen as below.
So I suppose I can have both AV solutions installed but only one of them can be selected for actual use.
