Responding when the E-Mail Scan extension detects a virus
The E-Mail Scan extension included with VirusScan software lets you scan
incoming Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook e-mail messages for
viruses at your initiative. You can start it from within either e-mail client and
use it to supplement the continuous e-mail background scanning you get with
the VShield E-Mail Scan module. The E-Mail Scan module also offers the
ability to clean infected file attachments or stop the scan operation, a capability
that complements the continuous monitoring that the E-Mail Scan module
provides. In its initial configuration, E-Mail Scan extension will prompt you
for a response when it finds a virus (
Figure 3-8 ).

Continue .
Click this button to have the E-Mail Scan extension proceed with
its scan operation, list each infected file it finds in the lower portion of its
main window (
Figure 3-9 ), and record each detection in its log file, but it
will take no other action to respond to the virus. The extension will
continue until it finds another virus on your system or until it finishes the
scan operation. Once it has finished examining your system, you can
right-click each file listed in the main window, then choose an individual
response from the shortcut menu that appears.
