Creating and Configuring Scheduled Tasks • Click Apply to save your changes without closing the Task Properties dialog box, then click the Schedule tab. 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. You will need to set a task schedule later to get it to run. To do so, select the task from the list in the Console window, then click to open the Task Properties dialog box. • Click Cancel to close the dialog box without creating a task. Enabling tasks Enabling a task means choosing a schedule for it and activating that schedule so that the task runs when you need it. You can schedule any of the tasks shown in the VirusScan Console window, except the VShield task, which runs continuously from the time your start your computer or as soon as you start the task yourself. In order for your task to run, you must also ensure that the VirusScan Console is active at the time you want your task to run. To learn how to start the Console, see "Starting the VirusScan Console" on page 192. To run a scan task that uses the VirusScan application, you must configure the scan operation to start automatically. You do not need to do this for the other default tasks. See Step 5 on page 213 for more details. To enable a task, follow these steps: 1. If you do not already have the Task Properties dialog box open, double-click one of the listed tasks in the Console window, or select a task, then click in the Console toolbar. The Task Properties dialog box will appear (see Figure 6-5 on page 201). If you chose the VShield, AutoUpdate, or AutoUpgrade tasks in the Console task list, the Task Properties dialog box will look different from that shown in Figure 6-5. 2. Click the Schedule tab to display the correct property page (see Figure 6-6 on page 205). NOTE: The Task Properties dialog box for the VShield scanner will not include a Schedule property page-instead, it will include status pages for each of the scanner's modules. The Task Properties dialog boxes for the AutoUpdate and AutoUpgrade tasks, meanwhile, will not include status pages. 204 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
