Using Specialized Scanning Tools
2. Select the
Log to file
checkbox.
By default, the E-Mail Scan extension writes log information to the file
MAILSCAN.TXT in the VirusScan program directory. You can enter a
different name in the text box provided, or click
Browse
to locate a
suitable file elsewhere on your hard disk or on your network. You may
use a different file, but the text file must already exist. The extension will
not create a new file.
Š
NOTE: If you choose a different location for your log file on a
Windows NT Workstation v4.0 or Windows 2000 Professional
system, verify that you choose a location to which you have
user-level access. Because the E-Mail Scan extension runs with the
same access rights that your e-mail client program does, it cannot
write to this log file correctly if the file exists in a location that
requires Administrator access rights, and you have logged in as a
user to run your e-mail client program. Instead, the E-Mail Scan
extension will give you an “Activity Log Access Error” message
when it detects a virus.
3. To minimize the log file size, select the
Limit size of log file to
checkbox,
then enter a value for the file size, in kilobytes, in the text box provided.
If you do not select this checkbox, the log file can grow to as large a size
as your disk space permits.
Enter a value between 10
KB
and 999
KB
. By default, the extension limits
the file size to 100
KB
. If the data in the log exceeds the file size you set, the
extension erases the existing log and begins again from the point at
which it left off.
4. Select the checkboxes that correspond to the information you want the
extension to record in its log file. Each checkbox you select here causes
the extension to record this information, usually when the scan operation
ends, or when you shut your system down:
•
Virus detection
. Select this checkbox to have the log file record how
many viruses the extension finds during each scan operation. Clear
the checkbox to leave this information out of the log file.
• Virus cleaning . Select this checkbox to have the log file record how
many infected files the extension cleans—or tries to clean—during
each scan operation. Clear this checkbox to leave this information
out of the log file.
