Browser and e-mail client support
The VShield scanner works seamlessly with many of the most popular web
browsers and e-mail client software available for the Windows platform. To
work with your browser, the scanner requires no setup beyond what you have
already done to connect your computer to the Internet. You must configure the
scanner, however, to work correctly with your e-mail client software. See
"Using the VShield configuration wizard" on page 40 or "Setting VShield
scanner properties" on page 97 of the VirusScan User's Guide to learn how to
do the required setup.
McAfee has tested these web browsers and verified that they work correctly
with the VShield scanner:
• Netscape Navigator v3.x
• Netscape Navigator v4.0.x (not including v4.0.6)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer v3.x, v4.x and v5.x
McAfee has also tested these e-mail clients and verified that they work with
the VShield Download Scan module:
• Microsoft Outlook Express
• Qualcomm Eudora v3.x and v4.x
• Netscape Mail (included with most versions of Netscape Navigator and
Netscape Communicator)
• America Online mail v3.0, v4.0 and v5.0
In order to work with the VShield E-mail Scan module, your corporate e-mail
system must use Lotus cc:Mail, Microsoft Exchange, or Microsoft Outlook
client. McAfee has tested these clients and has verified that they work correctly
with the E-mail Scan module:
• Microsoft Exchange v4.0, v5.0 and v5.5
• Microsoft Outlook 97 and Outlook 98
• Lotus cc:Mail v6.x, v7.x, and v8.x (not MAPI-compliant)
McAfee does not certify VShield software compatibility with client software
not listed above.
Enabling or starting the VShield scanner
At the end of the VirusScan installation, Setup asks if you want to enable the
VShield scanner at that time. If you agree, the VShield 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 VShield scanner
will load automatically the next time you restart your computer.
