58 McAfee VirusScan Plus Using trusted lists If VirusScan detects a file or registry change (SystemGuard), program, or buffer overflow, it prompts you to trust or remove it. If you trust the item and indicate that you do not want to receive future notification about its activity, the item is added to a trusted list and VirusScan no longer detects it or notifies you about its activity. If an item has been added to a trusted list, but you decide you want to block its activity, you can do so. Blocking prevents the item from running or making any changes to your computer without notifying you each time an attempt is made. You can also remove an item from a trusted list. Removing allows VirusScan to detect the item's activity again. Manage trusted lists Use the Trusted Lists pane to trust or block items that have been previously detected and trusted. You can also remove an item from a trusted list so that VirusScan detects it again. 1 Open the Trusted Lists pane. 1. Under Common Tasks, click Home. 2.
