Choosing Report options
E-Mail Scan lists its current settings and summarizes all of the actions it takes
during its scanning operations in a log file called MAILSCAN.TXT. You can
have E-Mail Scan write its log to this file, or you can use any text editor to
create a text file for E-Mail Scan to use. You can then open and print the log file
for later review from within E-Mail Scan or from a text editor.
You can use the MAILSCAN.TXT file to track virus activity on your system
and to note which settings the extension used to detect and respond to
infections it found. You can also use the incident reports recorded in the file to
determine which files you need to examine in quarantine, or delete from your
computer.
To set E-Mail Scan to record its actions in a log file, follow these steps:
1. Click the Report tab in the E-Mail Scan Properties dialog box to display
