Using the VShield Scanner See "Adding file name extensions for scanning" on page 287 and "Current list of vulnerable file name extensions" on page 288 to learn which file name extensions this module scans by default and how to add to or change this list. • Scan all files. Select the All files button to have the System Scan module examine any file, whatever its extension, whenever you or a system process modifies it in any way. • Scan networked drives. To have the System Scan module look for viruses on any drives mapped to your system that you use in any way, select the Network drives checkbox. NOTE: If you have network disks mounted on your system, the System Scan module treats any files your system writes to such drives as "inbound" files and any files your system reads from such drives as "outbound" files. To ensure complete coverage, select both of these checkboxes in the Scan area when you select the Network drives checkbox. 4. Choose VShield software management options. These options let you control your interaction with the VShield scanner. You can • Disable the System Scan module at will. Select the System Scan can be disabled checkbox in order to have the option to disable this module. Note that McAfee recommends that you leave the System Scan module enabled for maximum protection. Clearing this checkbox removes the Exit and System Scan items from the VShield shortcut menu and the Disable button from the VShield Status dialog box. Ð TIP: To ensure that nobody else who uses your computer will disable the VShield scanner, or to enforce an anti-virus security policy among VirusScan users on your network, clear this checkbox, then protect the settings with a password. This will keep other users from disabling the scanner from within the VirusScan Console, or from the VShield Properties dialog box. See "Configuring the Security module" on page 149 for details. You can also run the entire VirusScan product in secure mode, which disables access to all configurable options. See "Installation steps" on page 37 to learn how to install VirusScan software so that it uses this mode. 102 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
