If your anti-virus scanner was preset to ask for instructions on
how to handle infected objects,
after detection of such an object it will display the object's name, the vi-
rus name and will ask you to choose the method to handle this object.
For example, the inquiry string may look similar to the following:
Actions — Report only
(OK/disInfect/Delete/Cancel/Stop)
where:
•
Report only—do not handle the object but log the
event;
•
disInfect—try to disinfect the object; the virus will be
deleted and the object will be restored to its virus-free
state, close to the original;
•
Delete—delete the object;
•
Cancel—ignore the object and continue with checking;
•
Stop—abort the check.
The inquiry string will vary depending on the method that was selected
for the previous infected object detected. The general format for the
dialog is:
Actions —
<Action_1> (OK/<Action_2>/<Action_3>/Cancel/Stop)
where:
•
<Action_1> is the default method suggested. It may be
one of the following three actions: Report only, disIn-
fect or Delete;
•
<Action_2> and <Action_3> are the other two meth-
ods of the three listed above. The Cancel and Stop
commands are always at the end of the string.
