Removing Infections From Your System
92 Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus
• Clean. Click this button to have the Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus application
try to remove the virus code from the infected file. If it cannot clean the
file—either because it has no remover or because the virus has damaged
the file beyond repair—it will record the incident in its log file and suggest
alternative responses.
In the example shown in Figure 3-6 on page 91 , the application failed to
clean the EICAR Test Virus—a mock “virus” written specifically to test
whether your anti-virus software installed correctly. Here,
Clean is not an
available response option. In most cases, you should delete such files and
restore them from backups.
• Delete. Click this button to delete the file from your system immediately.
By default, the Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus application will record the name
of the infected file in its log so that you can restore the file from a backup
copy.
• Move file to. Click this to open a dialog box that you can use to locate your
quarantine folder, or another suitable folder. Once you have located the
correct folder, click
OK to transfer the file to that location.

Responding when the E-Mail Scan extension detects a virus
The E-Mail Scan extension included with Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus lets you
scan incoming Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook e-mail messages for
viruses at your initiative. You can start it from within either e-mail client and
use it to supplement the continuous e-mail background scanning you get with
the WinGuard E-Mail Scan module. The E-Mail Scan module also offers the
ability to clean infected file attachments or stop the scan operation, a capability
that complements the continuous monitoring that the E-Mail Scan module
provides. In its initial configuration, E-Mail Scan extension will prompt you
for a response when it finds a virus (
Figure 3-8 ).
