MAILSCAN.TXT in the VirusScan program directory. You can enter a

many viruses the extension finds during each scan operation. Clear
the checkbox to leave this information out of the log file.
• Virus cleaning. Select this checkbox to have the log file record how
many infected files the extension cleans—or tries to clean—during
each scan operation. Clear this checkbox to leave this information
out of the log file.
