Configuring VirusScan application options
To configure a VirusScan scan task that will run at a time you designate, you
must tell the application:
• when you want it to run
• what you want it to scan
• what you want it to do if it finds a virus
• how it should let you know when it finds a virus
• whether you want it to keep track of its actions
• which items you don't want it to scan for viruses
• whether you want to protect the settings you chose from unauthorized
changes
The VirusScan Console provides a series of property pages you can use to
define your task. These property pages replicate many of the options you find
in the VirusScan application main window, and add others that help you
define a task you want to run regularly and repeatedly.
To configure the VirusScan application to run a scan task, select one of those
listed in the Console window—including any task that you created
yourself—then click
in the Console toolbar.
The VirusScan Properties dialog box will appear ( Figure 6-8 ).
