Interface enhancements
This release moves the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus interface for all supported
platforms solidly into the territory Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus for Windows 95
and Windows 98. This adds extensive WinGuard scanner configuration
options for the Windows NT Workstation v4.0 and Windows 2000
Professional platforms, while reducing the complexity of some previous
configuration options. Alert Manager server configuration, for example,
moves entirely over to the NetShield product line—Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
now acts strictly as a configurable client application.
This release also adds a new Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus control panel, which
functions as a central point from which you can enable and disable all Dr
Solomon's Anti-Virus components. This control panel also lets you set a
ceiling for the number of items you can scan in or exclude from a single
operation, and can set the WinGuard scanner and Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
control panel to run at startup. Other changes include:
• New WinGuard system tray icon states tell you more about which
WinGuard modules are active. These states are:
– All WinGuard modules are active
– The System Scan module is active, but one or more of the other
WinGuard modules is inactive
– The System Scan module is inactive, but one or more of the other
WinGuard modules is active
– All WinGuard modules are inactive
• New interface settings for task configuration allow you to tell the Dr
Solomon's Anti-Virus application how you want it to appear as your
scheduled task runs and what you want it to do when it finishes. You can
also set a password to protect individual task settings from changes, or to
protect an entire task configuration at once.
• An updated randomization feature for scheduled tasks allows you to set a
time for the task to run, then set a randomization "window." The Dr
Solomon's Anti-Virus Console then picks a random time within the
window to actually start the task.
• System Scan module action options now include a new Prompt Type
configuration option for Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems. This
option lets you determine how the Prompt for user action alert appears.
