Using Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition
26
Scanning for viruses
In addition to File System Realtime Protection, which is your most
powerful defense against virus infection, Norton AntiVirus Corporate
Edition supplies several different types of scans to provide additional
protection. Scan types include the following:
■
On-demand scans: Scan a file, folder, drive, or entire computer at any
time.
■
Scheduled scans: Run unattended at a specified frequency.
■
Startup scans: Run every time you start your computer and Windows
loads.
■
Custom scans: Scan specified file sets at any time.
A single, weekly Scheduled Scan of all files is generally sufficient
protection, as long as File System Realtime Protection is always running. If
your computer is victimized by viruses, consider adding a Startup Scan or
daily Scheduled Scan. Another good habit is to always scan floppy disks
when first used, particularly if they have been circulating.
Using on-demand scans
You can scan for viruses at any time. Select anything from a single file to a
floppy disk to your entire computer.
