a. Select the Enable heuristics scanning checkbox. The remaining
options in the dialog box activate.
b. Select the types of heuristics scanning you want the Dr Solomon's
Anti-Virus application to use. Your choices are:
– Enable macro heuristics scanning. Choose this option to
have the application identify all Microsoft Word, Microsoft
Excel, and other Microsoft Office files that contain embedded
macros, then compare the macro code to its virus definitions
database. The application will identify exact matches with the
virus name; code signatures that resemble existing viruses
cause it to tell you it has found a potential macro virus.
– Enable program file heuristics scanning. Choose this option
to have the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus application locate new
viruses in program files by examining file characteristics and
comparing them against a list of known virus characteristics.
The application will identify files with a sufficient number of
these characteristics as potential viruses.
– Enable macro and program file heuristics scanning.
Choose this option to have the application use both types of
heuristics scanning. Dr Solomon's Software recommends that
you use this option for complete anti-virus protection.
NOTE: The application will use heuristic scanning
techniques only on the file types you designate in the
Program File Extensions dialog box. If you choose to scan
All files, it will use heuristic scanning for all file types.
c. Click OK to save your settings and return to the Dr Solomon's
Anti-Virus Properties dialog box.
4. Choose special scanning options.
Boot-sector viruses load themselves into your computer's memory and
conceal themselves in the boot blocks or master boot record on your hard
drive. To use this scan task to detect those types of viruses, select the
Scan Memory and Scan boot sectors checkboxes.
5. If you have scheduled scan operations that you want to run in your
absence, select the Start automatically checkbox to tell the Dr Solomon's
Anti-Virus application to begin scanning as soon as it launches.
