Select the options you want to see in the alert message. Each of the
checkboxes you select here causes an option button to appear in an
alert message that the module displays when it finds a virus.
Selecting Delete file here, for example, causes a Delete button to
appear in the alert message.
You can choose from these options:
– Delete file. This option tells the module to delete the infected
attachment immediately. The module will, however, preserve
the e-mail message it came in.
– Move file. This option tells the module to move the infected file
to a quarantine folder. The alert message will display a Move
button that tells the module to move the infected file to a
preselected quarantine directory. By default, this directory is a
folder named Infected in the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus program
directory.
– Continue scan. This option tells the module to continue with
its scan operation, but not take any other actions. If you have
its reporting options enabled, the module records the incident
in its log file.
• Move infected files to a folder. Choose this response to have the
module move infected files to a quarantine folder as soon as it finds
them. The module moves these files to a folder named Infected
located in the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus program directory.
• Delete infected files. Choose this response to have the Download
Scan module delete every infected file it detects immediately. Be
sure to enable its reporting feature so that you have a record of
which files the module deleted. You will need to restore deleted files
from backup copies. See
details.
• Continue scanning. Choose this response to have the module
continue scanning without taking any action against the virus it
finds. If you also activate the Download Scan reporting feature (see
"Choosing Report options" on page 150
will record the names of any viruses it finds and the names of
infected files so that you can delete them at your next opportunity.
Use this option only if you plan to leave your computer unattended
while the module checks for viruses.
