4. Choose special scanning options.
Boot-sector viruses load themselves into your computer’s memory and
conceal themselves in the boot blocks or master boot record on your hard
drive. To use this scan task to detect those types of viruses, select the
Scan Memory and Scan boot sectors checkboxes.
5. If you have scheduled scan operations that you want to run in your
absence, select the Start automatically checkbox to tell the VirusScan
application to begin scanning as soon as it launches.
If you do not select this checkbox, the Console will start VirusScan
software, but the VirusScan application will wait for you to click

to start scanning. Leaving the checkbox clear gives you a chance to
cancel the scan operation if it will interfere with your work.

changes without closing the VirusScan Properties dialog box, click

Choosing Action options
When the VirusScan application detects a virus, it can respond either by
asking you what it should do with the infected file, or by automatically taking
an action that you determine ahead of time. Use the Action property page to
specify which response options you want VirusScan software to give you
when it finds a virus, or which actions you want it to take on its own.
Follow these steps:
1. To start from the Console window, select the task you created in the task
list, then click in the Console toolbar.
2. The VirusScan Properties dialog box appears (see Figure 6-8 on page
204 ). Click the Action tab to display the correct property page (see Figure
6-12 on page 210 ).
