Using the VirusScan application
Configuring the VirusScan Classic interface
For the VirusScan application to protect your system, you must tell it:
• what you want it to scan
• what you want it to do if it finds a virus
• how it should let you know when it finds a virus
• whether you want it to keep track of its actions
A series of property pages in the VirusScan window controls the options for
each task—click each tab to set up the application for your task. To give
yourself more configuration options, move to the VirusScan Advanced
interface. Choose
Advanced from the Tools menu in the VirusScan Classic
window.
You can start a scan operation with the options you've chosen at any
point—simply click
Scan Now . To save your changes as default scan options,
choose
Save As Default
from the
File
menu or click
New Scan
. To save your
settings in a new file, choose Save Settings from the File menu, name your
file in the dialog box that appears, then click Save .
The settings file you save will have your filename with a .VSC extension. To
learn how to use this file to start a VirusScan application scan operation, see
“Method 3: Starting a scan task from a settings file” on page 166 .
Choosing Where & What options
VirusScan software initially assumes that you want to scan your C: drive and
all of its subfolders, and to restrict the files it scans only to those susceptible to
virus infection (
