in each property page from unauthorized changes. This feature is particularly
useful for system administrators who need to keep users from tampering with
their security measures by changing VirusScan settings. Use the Security
property page to lock your settings.
To enable password protection for VirusScan Advanced, follow these steps:

Advanced window to open the Password Protection dialog box ( Figure
