Enabling or starting the WinGuard scanner

At the end of the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus installation, Setup asks if you want
to enable the WinGuard scanner at that time. If you agree, the WinGuard
scanner should load into memory immediately and begin working with a
default set of options that give you basic anti-virus protection. If you do not
agree, the WinGuard scanner will load automatically the next time you restart
your computer.
When the WinGuard scanner first starts, it displays an icon in the Windows
system tray that indicates which of its modules are active. To learn what each
icon state means, see
on page
At first, the scanner enables only its System Scan module, which scans viruses
that arrive on your system from floppy disks and other removable media,
from local-area network connections, and similar areas. The System Scan
module also scans files that arrive via your e-mail system and from the
Internet, but to do so, it requires the aid of the other WinGuard modules:
E-Mail Scan, Download Scan, and Internet Filter.
