2. Tell the module when and where you want it to look for viruses. You can
have it
• Scan files as you work with them. Each time you open, run, copy,
save, rename, or otherwise use files on your hard disk, virus code
can execute and spread infections to other files.
To prevent this on computers that run Windows NT Workstation
v4.0 or Windows 2000 Professional, select both the Inbound files
and the Outbound files checkboxes. On computers that run
Windows 95 or Windows 98, select each of the Run, Copy, Create,
and Rename checkboxes for full coverage.
"Inbound" files are files that your computer or another system on
the network saves or writes to local hard disks attached to your
computer or to any network hard disks you have mapped to your
system. To include network drives mapped to your system for a
scan session, you must also select the Network drives checkbox.
Your system can receive data from your computer's memory, from
a floppy disk in your computer's floppy drive, from other systems,
from e-mail, or from other sources, then write that data to a file on
your hard disk. The WinGuard scanner treats all such data as
"inbound."
"Outbound" files, meanwhile, are files that your computer or other
systems on the network read from local hard disks attached to your
system or from network disks mapped to your system. To include
network drives mapped to your system for a scan session, here too
you must select the Network drives checkbox.
Whenever your computer or another system reads data from a file
stored on a local hard disk attached to your system or a network
disk mapped to your system, the System Scan module treats that
data as "outbound."
NOTE: If you have network drives mapped to your computer
from which you copy files, or if other network users copy files
from your computer, Dr Solomon's strongly recommends that
you have the WinGuard scanner installed both on your
computer and on the computer that "owns" the network drive.
Also, select all checkboxes in the Scan area in the Detection
page, plus the Network drives checkbox in the What to Scan
area.
