Working with default tasks
As soon as you install Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus on your computer and reboot,
VShield software will immediately begin scanning your system, using a
default configuration that provides you with a basic range of protection for
your system. The other tasks listed in the Console window also have default
configurations set up, but these tasks remain dormant until you activate them.
See
the Console comes with five default tasks. These are:
• VShield. This task runs the VShield scanner. By default, it runs
automatically as soon as you start your computer. You cannot schedule the
VShield scanner to run any other time, but you can choose different scan
options. You may not rename or delete this task, but you can see statistics
from its most recent scan session, you can enable or disable it, and you can
open up the VShield properties dialog box to configure it.
See "Setting WinGuard scanner properties" on page 109
options you have available.
• AutoUpgrade. This task allows you to schedule automatic program
upgrades for Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus These upgrades can consist of new
scan engine files or other file upgrades. To get it to upgrade your files, you
must configure this task to connect to a local network server or FTP site that
you designate, then you must schedule and activate it. You may not
rename or delete this task, but you can enable and disable it, schedule it,
configure it, and protect its settings with a password.
To learn how to schedule and enable this task, see
223. To learn how to configure this task to suit your needs, see
"Updating and Upgrading Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus."
• AutoUpdate. This task allows you to schedule automatic virus definition
(.DAT) file updates. To get it to do so, you must configure the task to
connect to a server or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site that you designate.
The task comes configured to connect to a Network Associates server, but
you may also set it to download files internally. You must also schedule
and activate the task to get it to update your files. In other respects, this task
closely resembles the AutoUpgrade task.
To learn how to schedule and enable this task, see
223. To learn how to configure this task to suit your needs, see
