Using the VShield Scanner b. To send a copy of this message to someone else, enter an e-mail address in the text box labeled Cc:, or click Cc: to choose a recipient from your mail system's user directory or address book. Š NOTE: To find an e-mail address in your mail system's user directory, you must store address information in a MAPIcompliant user directory, database, or address book, or in an equivalent Lotus cc:Mail directory. If you have not yet logged onto your e-mail system, the E-Mail Scan module tries to use your default MAPI profile to log onto MAPI-compliant mail systems, or asks you to supply a user name, password and path to your Lotus cc:Mail mailbox. Enter the information the module requires, then click OK to continue. c. Enter a subject for the message that conveys its urgency, then add any comments you want to make in the body of the message, below a standard infection notice that the module itself will supply. You may add up to 1024 characters of text. d. Click OK to save the message. Whenever it detects a virus, the module will send a copy of this message to each person who sends you e-mail with an infected attachment. It fills in the recipient's address with information found in the original message header, and identifies the virus and the affected file in the area immediately below the subject line. If you have activated its report feature, the module also logs each instance when it sends an alert message. e. To send an e-mail message to warn others-a network administrator, for example-about an infected attachment, select the Send alert mail to user checkbox in the Alert property page. You can then compose a standard reply in the same way you did in Step a through Step d above. In this case, however, you can fill out both the To: and the Cc: text boxes. Whenever it detects a virus, the E-Mail Scan module sends a copy of this message to all of the addresses that you entered for this message. 4. Select the Sound audible alert checkbox to have the module beep when it finds an infected file. You can change the setting for this option only if you select Prompt for user action in the Action property page. Otherwise, the checkbox will display and use the setting it had when you last chose the Prompt for user action item. 126 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software

b.
To send a copy of this message to someone else, enter an e-mail
address in the text box labeled Cc:, or click
Cc:
to choose a recipient
from your mail system
s user directory or address book.
NOTE:
To find an e-mail address in your mail system
s user
directory, you must store address information in a MAPI-
compliant user directory, database, or address book, or in an
equivalent Lotus cc:Mail directory. If you have not yet logged
onto your e-mail system, the E-Mail Scan module tries to use
your default MAPI profile to log onto MAPI-compliant mail
systems, or asks you to supply a user name, password and path
to your Lotus cc:Mail mailbox. Enter the information the
module requires, then click
OK
to continue.
c.
Enter a subject for the message that conveys its urgency, then add
any comments you want to make in the body of the message, below
a standard infection notice that the module itself will supply. You
may add up to 1024 characters of text.
d.
Click
OK
to save the message.
Whenever it detects a virus, the module will send a copy of this
message to each person who sends you e-mail with an infected
attachment. It fills in the recipient
s address with information found
in the original message header, and identifies the virus and the
affected file in the area immediately below the subject line. If you
have activated its report feature, the module also logs each instance
when it sends an alert message.
e.
To send an e-mail message to warn others
a network
administrator, for example
about an infected attachment, select
the
Send alert mail to user
checkbox in the Alert property page.
You can then compose a standard reply in the same way you did in
Step a
through
Step d
above. In this case, however, you can fill out
both the To: and the Cc: text boxes.
Whenever it detects a virus, the E-Mail Scan module sends a copy of
this message to all of the addresses that you entered for this
message.
4.
Select the
Sound audible alert
checkbox to have the module beep when
it finds an infected file.
You can change the setting for this option only if you select
Prompt for
user action
in the Action property page. Otherwise, the checkbox will
display and use the setting it had when you last chose the
Prompt for
user action
item.
