McAfee VIRUSSCAN 5.1 User Manual page 193

• AutoUpdate. This task allows you to schedule automatic virus definition
(.DAT) file updates. To get it to do so, you must configure the task to
connect to a server or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site that you designate.
The task comes configured to connect to a McAfee server, but you may also
set it to download files internally. You must also schedule and activate the
task to get it to update your files. In other respects, this task closely
resembles the AutoUpgrade task.
• Scan My Computer. This task runs a baseline scan operation on all hard
disks and other drives connected to your computer, along with your RAM
and hard disk or floppy disk boot sectors. You may not rename or delete
this task, but you can modify its configuration it, schedule it, see statistics
from its most recent scan operation, and protect its settings with a
password. You must activate this task to get it to run, but you can run it in
its default configuration for nearly comprehensive protection.
• Scan Drive 'C'. This task runs a baseline scan operation on your computer's
C: drive. Otherwise, it closely resembles the Scan My Computer task.
Both the Scan My Computer and Scan Drive 'C' tasks require the VirusScan
application to run.
