Using the VirusScan console
The VirusScan console allows you to use and configure On-Demand scanning and
On-Access scanning. The console connects you to the McAfee Virus Information
Library, does eUpdates, and prints and saves virus scan reports.
The VirusScan console also contains a drag-and-drop pane for On-Demand scanning.
You can initiate an On-Demand scan at any time by dragging files into the center pane
of the console, dropping them into the drag-and-drop pane, then clicking the
button. If you add another file after the scan has completed, the new file will replace
the first scan.
