McAfee VIRUSSCAN 5.1 Administrator's Manual page 25

This VirusScan version also comes with complete support for the Network
Associates ePolicy Orchestrator software distribution tool. A specially
packaged VirusScan version ships with the ePolicy Orchestrator software,
ready for enterprise-wide distribution. You can distribute VirusScan software,
configure it from the ePolicy Orchestrator console, update that configuration
and any program or .DAT files at any time, and schedule scan operations, all
for your entire network user base. To learn more about using ePolicy
Orchestrator software for VirusScan distribution and configuration, consult
the ePolicy Orchestrator Administrator's Guide.
Interface enhancements
This release moves the VirusScan interface for all supported platforms solidly
into the territory VirusScan for Windows 95 and Windows 98 pioneered with
its v4.0.1 release. This adds extensive VShield scanner configuration options
for the Windows NT Workstation v4.0 and Windows 2000 Professional
platforms, while reducing the complexity of some previous configuration
options. Alert Manager server configuration, for example, moves entirely over
to the NetShield product line—VirusScan software now acts strictly as a
configurable client application.
This release also adds a new VirusScan control panel, which functions as a
central point from which you can enable and disable all VirusScan
components. This control panel also lets you set a ceiling for the number of
items you can scan in or exclude from a single operation, and can set the
VShield scanner and VirusScan control panel to run at startup. Other changes
include:
• New VShield system tray icon states tell you more about which VShield
modules are active. These states are:
– All VShield modules are active
– The System Scan module is active, but one or more of the other
VShield modules is inactive
– The System Scan module is inactive, but one or more of the other
VShield modules is active
– All VShield modules are inactive
• New interface settings for task configuration allow you to tell the
VirusScan application how you want it to appear as your scheduled task
runs and what you want it to do when it finishes. You can also set a
password to protect individual task settings from changes, or to protect an
entire task configuration at once.
