From here, you can:
• Start scanning immediately. Click Scan Now to have the
application scan your system with the last configuration options
you set, or with default options.
• Switch between the Classic and Advanced interfaces. Use the
Classic interface for quick, uncomplicated scan operations that use
default or restricted settings. To switch to the Advanced interface
from there, choose Advanced from the Tools menu. Use the
Advanced interface to control nearly all aspects of your scan
operation. To return to the Classic interface from that point, choose
Classic from the Tools menu.
• Configure new scan options. Specify which files you want to scan,
then choose your response, reporting, alerting and exclusion
options in each tabbed property page. To learn about Advanced
options, see "Configuring the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Advanced
interface" on page
Next, click the New Scan button to the right of the window—or
choose Save As Default from the File menu—to save the options
you choose as the default options. The new settings will govern each
new scan operation you run from that point forward. You can
change your options as often as you want to, then save them again
this same way to replace the old options with the new ones.
Choose Save Settings from the File menu to save your options to a
settings file. You can use this file to run future scan operations or
send it to other computers in order to control their scan operations.
• View the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus application activity log.
Choose View Activity Log from the File menu to open the
VSCLOG.TXT file in a Notepad window.
