Removing Infections From Your System
Figure 3-8. E-Mail Scan response options
To respond to the infection, click one of the buttons shown. You can tell the
E-Mail Scan extension to:
• 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.
• Stop. Click this button to stop the scan operation immediately. The E-Mail
Scan extension will list the infected files it has already found 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. Right-click each
infected file listed in the main window, then choose an individual response
from the shortcut menu that appears.
