Setting Winguard Scanner Properties - McAfee DR SOLOMON S ANTI-VIRUS 8.5 User Manual

Using the WinGuard Scanner

Setting WinGuard scanner properties

To ensure its optimal performance on your computer or in your network
environment, the WinGuard scanner needs to know what you want it to scan,
what you want it to ignore, what you want it to do if it finds a virus or other
malicious software, and how it should let you know when it has. You can use
the configuration wizard to enable most of the scanner's protective options,
but if you want complete control over the program and the ability to adapt it
to your needs—including the ability to protect your settings with a
password—choose your options in the WinGuard Properties dialog box.
The WinGuard Properties dialog box consists of a series of property pages that
control the settings for each program module. To choose your options, click
the icon for the appropriate program module, then click each tab in the
WinGuard Properties dialog box in turn.
To open the WinGuard Properties dialog box, right-click the WinGuard icon
in the Windows system tray to display the WinGuard shortcut menu, point
to Properties, then choose System Scan.
The dialog box appears with the System Scan icon selected (Figure 4-9).
