McAfee VIRUSSCAN 5.1 User Manual page 101

Choosing Action options
When the System Scan module detects a virus, it can respond either by asking
you what it should do with the infected file, or by automatically taking an
action that you determine ahead of time. Use the Action property page to
specify which response options you want the module to give you when it finds
a virus, or which actions you want it to take on its own.
Š NOTE: This property page will vary its appearance and have a different
option set, depending on which operating system your computer runs.
Follow these steps:
1. Click the Action tab in the System Scan module to display the correct
property page
Figure 4-12. System Scan Properties dialog box - Action page
2. Choose a response from the When a virus is found list. The area
immediately beneath the list will change to show you additional options
for each choice.
Š NOTE: If you choose Prompt for user action from the list, click the
Alert tab to specify whether you want the System Scan module to
prompt you with a message, a beep, or both.
