If you connect to the Internet frequently or download files often, you might
want to schedule regular scan operations that sweep your system at set
intervals, so that you don't have to remember to start the Dr Solomon's
Anti-Virus application. The Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Console provides a very
flexible set of options for this purpose. To learn more about scheduling Dr
Solomon's Anti-Virus application tasks, see
Starting the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus application
You can start the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus application in its own window, or
as part of a scheduled scan task. The method you choose depends on what sort
of scan operation you want to run. When you first start it, the application
window opens so that you can make changes to its configuration. You must
click Scan Now or Run Now in a separate step to start an actual scan
operation.
Four separate methods exist to start the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
application—the fourth method involves running the application from the
command line. The Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Administrator's Guide lists the
command-line options for this method.
The next sections describe each method.
