a. Select the volume to be scanned from the Available Volumes list, then
click Add. You can add more than one volume.
b. Select whether you want to scan All Files or Program Files only.
Selecting Program Files only scans files based on a list of extensions that
are commonly susceptible to viruses on Windows systems and scans all
files with x-bit turned on for UNIX systems.
c. Check whether you want to scan Compressed Files. These include:
— ARJ
— GZIP
— JAVA archive
— LHA
— Microsoft cabinet file
— Microsoft compressed file
— MIME
— UNIX to UNIX encoded files (UUEncode)
— ZIP
— RAR
— UNIX compressed file (.Z)
— Rich Text Format file (.RTF)
d. Check whether you want to virus-scan all Snapshots that exist for the
volumes you selected. Snapshots are read-only so if the scan finds a virus,
it is only recorded in the log.
e. Check whether you want to Enable Heuristic Scanning. This lets you
find new virus strains by detecting virus-like characteristics. Selecting this
option slows down your scan.
