Managing infected file warnings
When VirusScan Mobile performs a scan, several situations can cause an infected file
warning. This warning appears on the Scan Device screen when an infected file is
found during a real-time scan, scheduled scan, or manual scan and when:
The
Scan action
is set to
Clean, Quarantine
, or
Delete
and VirusScan Mobile cannot
perform the appropriate action on the file.
The
Scan action
is set to
Report only
.
To view information about infected or suspicious files detected, click
Details
when the
warning is displayed, or on the Scan Device screen. The Scan Results screen displays
any infected or suspicious files detected during the scan. Select a file from the list and
click
Menu
. You can now clean, quarantine, or delete the file.
If you quarantine the file, it is moved to the quarantine area. For information about
handling files in the quarantine area, see
Managing quarantined files
on page 16
.
Updating VirusScan Mobile
Updating VirusScan Mobile should be performed regularly to ensure that you always
have the latest detection definitions. VirusScan Mobile can automatically check for
updates at scheduled intervals, or you can manually check for updates at any time.
Automatically checking for updates
Automatic updates ensure that your device always has the latest virus protection.
McAfee recommends that you check for detection definition updates often. Updates
are checked for automatically based on the
Scheduled update interval
setting (see
Configuring VirusScan updates
on page 12
).
If you do not want to automatically check for updates, set the
Scheduled update interval
to
Never
.
Manually checking for updates
You can manually update your detection definitions at any time to ensure that your
device has the latest virus protection.
To manually check for updates:
1
On the main screen, click
Menu
then select
Update VirusScan
.
Note
You must be connected to the Internet for VirusScan to check for available updates. If
no direct connection is configured, you can connect through ActiveSync using your
computer’s Internet connection.
