If you run the task in normal scan mode, it will also allow you to
dispose of any viruses it detects, if you have not already set the
application to dispose of them automatically.
• Never Exit. Click this button to specify that you want the VirusScan
application to always remain open after it completes this scan task.
If you run the task in normal scan mode, it will display the results of
the scan operation and allow you to dispose of any viruses it
detected, if you have not already set it to dispose of them
automatically. You can then run the task again immediately, if you
wish.
6. At this point, you have entered enough information to create your task,
but you have not yet chosen program options or scheduled it to run. You
can:
• Click Configure to set the properties for this task.
This opens the VirusScan Properties dialog box. Here, you can tell
the VirusScan application where and what to look for during this
scan operation, how to respond to any viruses it finds, how to notify
you when it finds a virus, what information to record in its activity
log, what items to exclude from scan tasks, and whether to protect
the configuration options you set for the task.
• Click Run Now to run this task immediately. The task will run with
default configuration options or the configuration options you've
defined for it. Here's what happens when you click the button:
– If you have configured the task to start automatically, it will
run immediately. For this to happen, you must have previously
selected the Start Automatically checkbox in the VirusScan
Properties dialog box. To see this checkbox, click Configure,
immediately to the left, then locate the checkbox in the What to
Scan area in the Detection property page.
– If you chose a scan task that you have not set to start
automatically, the VirusScan application window appears.
Click Scan Now in this window to run the task.
• Click Apply to save your changes without closing the Task
Properties dialog box, then click the Schedule tab.
• Click OK to save your changes and return to the VirusScan Console
window. You will need to set a task schedule later to get it to run.
To do so, select the task from the list in the Console window, then
click to open the Task Properties dialog box.
