Excluding files and folders from virus scans
Use this SecurityCenter task to define and manage items that are not scanned for viruses. You can
add files, folders, or file extensions to the list of exclusions or remove them from the list.
Using Virus and Spyware Protection
Configuring scanning policy options
To do this...
Check for an outbreak detection definition (DAT) file every hour.
Detect code starting to run from data in reserved memory and
prevent that code from running. Virus and spyware protection
protects against buffer overflow in more than 30 most commonly
used Windows-based programs. McAfee updates this list as it
adds buffer overflow protection for additional programs.
Buffer overflow protection does not stop data from being
written. Do not rely on the exploited application remaining
stable after being compromised, even if buffer overflow
protection stops the corrupted code from running.
Detect harmful code embedded in web pages that would cause
unauthorized programs to run on client computers.
Script scanning is always enabled for on-access and
on-demand scans.
Look for threats in email before it is placed into the user's Inbox.
(Email is always scanned when it is accessed.)
they are downloaded, opened, or run. (Default file types are
defined in the DAT files.)
Look for threats in compressed archive files when the files are
accessed.
Look for threats in compressed archive files during manual or
scheduled scans.
Send unrecognized threats to McAfee Labs for investigation.
(This occurs in the background with no user notification.)
Look for threats in files located on mapped network drives when
the files are accessed.
If on-access scanning has been disabled on a client computer,
re-enable it the next time that computer checks for updates.
Use up to the selected percentage of CPU resources when
performing on-demand scans. When set to High, we recommend
scheduling scans to occur during off-peak hours.
