Use the Action property page to specify which response options you want VirusScan software to give you when it finds a virus, or which actions you want it to take on its own. Follow these steps: 1. Click the Action tab in the VirusScan Advanced window to display the correct property page (Figure 5-14). Figure 5-14. VirusScan Advanced - Action page 2.
