Using the VShield Scanner
130 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
Configuring the Download Scan module
The Download Scan module can check files you download from
the Internet as you visit websites, FTP sites, and other Internet
sites. This module is also where you set the options you want to
use to respond to infected e-mail attachments you receive via
POP-3 or SMTP e-mail client programs such as Eudora, Netscape
Mail, or Microsoft Outlook Express. To activate this function,
you must also choose an appropriate mail system in the E-mail Scan module’s
Detection page.
See “Choosing Detection options” on page 116 for details.
When it finds a virus, the module can ask you what you want it to do, or it can
take a variety of automatic actions in response. You can have it report what it
has done either with an alert message when it takes the action or in a log file
you can examine at your leisure. It can even send a message to the person who
sent an infected e-mail message, which makes tracking the source of virus
infections relatively simple.

NOTE: The Download Scan module will not appear in the VShield
Properties dialog box unless you used the Custom Setup option when
you installed VirusScan software and specified that you wanted to install
the Internet Scan component.
Choosing Detection options
The Download Scan module initially assumes that you want it to scan for
viruses each time you download any file susceptible to virus infection from the
Internet (
Figure 4-25 ). These default options provide excellent security, but
your environment might require different settings.
