Your choices are:
• Prompt for user action. Choose this response if you expect to be at
your computer when the E-Mail Scan extension examines your
mailbox—the program will display an alert message when it finds a
virus and offer you a range of possible responses.
Each of the checkboxes you select in the Action page causes an
option button to appear in an alert message that the extension
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:
– Clean file. This option tells the extension to try to remove the
virus code from the infected file. If you have its reporting
function enabled, it will record a log event each time it
successfully cleans, or fails to clean, an infected file.
– Delete file. This option tells the extension to delete the infected
file immediately.
– Move file. This option tells the extension to move the infected
file to a quarantine folder. The alert message will display a
Move file to button that allows you to send the infected item to
a quarantine folder on your Microsoft Exchange server. You
can move infected items to any other folder you've created in
your Exchange or Outlook mailbox, or to any public folder on
the Exchange server to which you have access. The item will
remain on the Exchange server until you dispose of it—it will
not get downloaded to your computer.
– Continue scan. This option tells the extension to continue
with its scan operation, but not take any other actions. If you
have its reporting options enabled, the extension records the
incident in its log file.
– Stop scan.This option tells the extension to stop the scan
operation immediately. To continue, you must click
Exchange or Outlook toolbar again, or you must choose Scan
for Viruses from the Tools menu to restart the operation.
• Move infected files automatically. Choose this response to have
the extension move infected files to a quarantine folder on your
Microsoft Exchange server as soon as it finds them. The extension
moves these files to a folder named Infected, which is located on
your Microsoft Exchange server.
