Click Configure to open either the Automatic Upgrade or the AutoUpdate dialog box. To learn how to configure the AutoUpgrade utility, see "Configuring the AutoUpgrade utility" on page 241.

To learn how to set a task schedule, see "Enabling tasks" on page 204. • Click OK to save your changes and return to the VirusScan Console window.

Creating new tasks Although the tasks that come in the default set can provide your system with nearly comprehensive anti-virus protection, you will probably want to create and run your own tasks after you have some experience with VirusScan software and have a good idea of what and when you want it to scan. You can modify some aspects of the default tasks that come with the VirusScan Console, but you may not delete, rename or-with the exception of the Scan My Computer and Scan Drive 'C' tasks-create new instances of them. You may copy the existing configuration options from the Scan My Computer and Scan Drive 'C' tasks for use as foundation settings for your own new tasks. 200 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
