Enabling or starting the VShield scanner

At the end of the VirusScan installation, Setup asks if you want to enable the
VShield scanner at that time. If you agree, the VShield scanner should load
into memory immediately and begin working with a default set of options that
give you basic anti-virus protection. If you do not agree, the VShield scanner
will load automatically the next time you restart your computer.
When the VShield scanner first starts, it displays an icon in the Windows
system tray that indicates which of its modules are active. To learn what each
icon state means, see

At first, the scanner enables only its System Scan module, which scans viruses
that arrive on your system from floppy disks and other removable media,
from local-area network connections, and similar areas. The System Scan
module also scans files that arrive via your e-mail system and from the
Internet, but to do so, it requires the aid of the other VShield modules: E-Mail
Scan, Download Scan, and Internet Filter.
