Removing Infections From Your System
• Clean. Click this button to remove the virus code from the infected file. If
the E-Mail Scan extension cannot clean the file—either because it has no
remover or because the virus has damaged the file beyond repair—it will
record the incident in its log file and suggest alternative responses. In the
example shown in, Clean is not an available response option. In most cases,
you should delete such files and restore them from backups.
• Delete. Click this button to delete the file from your system. By default, the
E-Mail Scan extension will record the name of the infected file in its log so
that you can restore the file from a backup copy.
• Move. Click this button to open a dialog box that you can use to locate your
quarantine folder, or another suitable folder. Once you have located the
correct folder, click OK to transfer the file to that location.
• Info. Click this to connect to the McAfee Virus Information Library. This
choice does not cause the E-Mail Scan extension to take any action against
the virus it detected.
Viewing virus information
Clicking Info in any of the virus response dialog boxes will connect you to the
McAfee online Virus Information Library, provided you have an Internet
connection and web browsing software available on your computer.
