Using ActiveShield Scanning for scripts VirusScan monitors your computer for suspect activity that might indicate a threat is present on your computer. While VirusScan cleans viruses and other threats, ScriptStopperTM prevents Trojan horses from running scripts that spread viruses further. A "Trojan horse" is a suspect program that pretends to be a benign application. Trojans are not viruses because they do not replicate, but they can be just as destructive. The ScriptStopper protection mechanism detects, alerts, and blocks suspect activity. Suspect activity might include the following action on your computer: A script execution that results in the creation, copying, or deletion of files, or the opening of your Windows registry If you set ActiveShield to use the default Enable ScriptStopper (recommended) option in the Advanced Options dialog box, ScriptStopper monitors script execution for suspect patterns and alerts you when a specified number of e-mails or recipients has been exceeded within a specified interval. To set ActiveShield to scan running scripts for worm-like activity: 1 Right-click the McAfee icon, point to VirusScan, then click Options. 2 Click Advanced, then click the Exploits tab (Figure 2-5). 3 Click Enable ScriptStopper (recommended), then click OK.
