McAfee VirusScan
The E-Mail Scan module starts out without any heuristic scan options
active. To activate heuristics scanning, follow these substeps:
a. Select the
Enable heuristics scanning
checkbox. The remaining
options in the dialog box activate.
b. Select the types of heuristics scanning you want theE-Mail Scan
module to use. Your choices are:
–
Enable macro heuristics scanning
. Choose this option to
have the E-Mail Scan module identify all Microsoft Word,
Microsoft Excel, and other Microsoft Office files that contain
embedded macros, then compare the macro code to its virus
definitions database. The module will identify exact matches
with the virus name; code signatures that resemble existing
viruses cause the module to tell you it has found a potential
macro virus.
–
Enable program file heuristics scanning.
Choose this option
to have the E-Mail Scan module locate new viruses in program
files by examining file characteristics and comparing them
against a list of known virus characteristics. The module will
identify files with a sufficient number of these characteristics as
potential viruses.
–
Enable macro and program file heuristics scanning.
Choose this option to have the module use both types of
heuristics scanning. McAfee VirusScan Software recommends
that you use this option for complete anti-virus protection.
NOTE:
The module will use heuristic scanning
techniques only on the file types you designate in the
Program File Extensions dialog box. If you choose to scan
All files
, the module will use heuristic scanning for all file
types.
6. Click the Action tab to choose additional E-Mail Scan module options. To
save your changes without closing the E-mail Scan Properties dialog box,
click

. To save your changes and close the dialog box, click
OK
. To
close the dialog box without saving your changes, click
Cancel
.
NOTE:
Clicking
Cancel
will not undo any changes you already
saved by clicking
Apply
.
