Using the VShield Scanner Choosing Alert options Once you configure it with the response options you want in the Action page, you can let the E-Mail Scan module look for and remove viruses from your system automatically, as it finds them, with almost no further intervention. But if you want the module to tell you as soon as it finds a virus so you can take appropriate action, configure it to send an alert message to you or to others. Follow these steps: 1. Click the Alert tab in the E-mail Scan module to display the correct property page (Figure 4-23). Figure 4-23. E-mail Scan Properties dialog box - Alert page 2. Select the Notify Alert Manager checkbox to have the module send alert messages to Alert Manager for distribution. Alert Manager is a separate McAfee software component that collects alert messages and uses a variety of methods to send them to recipients that you specify. To have the E-Mail Scan module send these alert messages successfully, you must also set up the Alert Manager Client Configuration utility. See "Using the Alert Manager Client Configuration utility" on page 281 for details. 124 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
