McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
See “Adding file name extensions for scanning” on page 287
and
“Current list of vulnerable file name extensions” on page 288
to
learn which file name extensions this module scans by default and
how to add to or change this list.
•
Scan all files.
Select the
All files
button to have the System Scan
module examine any file, whatever its extension, whenever you or
a system process modifies it in any way.
•
Scan networked drives.
To have the System Scan module look for
viruses on any drives mapped to your system that you use in any
way, select the
Network drives
checkbox.
NOTE:
If you have network disks mounted on your system,
the System Scan module treats any files your system writes to
such drives as “inbound” files and any files your system reads
from such drives as “outbound” files. To ensure complete
coverage, select both of these checkboxes in the Scan area when
you select the
Network drives
checkbox.
4. Choose VShield software management options. These options let you
control your interaction with the VShield scanner. You can
•
Disable the System Scan module at will.
Select the
System Scan
can be disabled
checkbox in order to have the option to disable this
module. Note that McAfee recommends that you leave the System
Scan module enabled for maximum protection. Clearing this
checkbox removes the
Exit
and
System Scan
items from the
VShield shortcut menu and the
Disable
button from the VShield
Status dialog box.
Ð
TIP:
To ensure that nobody else who uses your computer will
disable the VShield scanner, or to enforce an anti-virus security
policy among VirusScan users on your network, clear this
checkbox, then protect the settings with a password. This will
keep other users from disabling the scanner from within the
VirusScan Console, or from the VShield Properties dialog box.
See “Configuring the Security module” on page 149
for details.
You can also run the entire VirusScan product in secure mode,
which disables access to all configurable options.
See
“Installation steps” on page 37
to learn how to install
VirusScan software so that it uses this mode.
