McAfee AVDCDE-AA-AA - Active Virus Defense Suite User Manual page 183

You can pass alert messages directly to an Alert Manager server, or you
can send alert messages as text (.ALR) files to a Centralized Alerting
directory that the Alert Manager server checks periodically.
Š
NOTE: Clearing this checkbox tells the VirusScan application not to
send an alert message via Alert Manager, but does not affect other
alert messages that you configure in this property page.
3. Select the Sound audible alert checkbox to have the application beep
when it finds an infected file.
You can change the setting for this option only if you select Prompt for
user action in the Action property page. Otherwise, the checkbox will
display and use the setting it had when you last chose the Prompt for
user action item. The application will sound the standard system
warning beep or .WAV file you have your computer set to play.
4. Select the Display custom message checkbox to have the application
add a custom message to the alert box it displays when it finds an
infected file.
As with the audible alert, you can change the setting for this option only
if you choose Prompt for user action in the Action property page. If you
do not choose that item in the Action page, no alert box will appear and
you will not see a custom message even if you select this checkbox.
5. Enter the message you want the application to display in the text box
provided. You can enter a maximum of 250 characters here.
6. Click the Report tab to choose additional VirusScan configuration
options.
To start a scan operation immediately with just the options you've
chosen, click Scan Now. To save your changes as default scan options,
choose Save As Default from the File menu or click New Scan. To save
your settings in a new file, choose Save Settings from the File menu,
name your file in the dialog box that appears, then click Save.
Choosing Report options
The VirusScan application lists its current settings and summarizes all of the
actions it takes during its scan operations in a log file called VSCLOG.TXT.
You can have the application write its log to this file, or you can use any text
editor to create a text file for the application to use. You can then open and
print the log file for later review from within the application or from your text
editor.
