Using Specialized Scanning Tools 2. Select the Log to file checkbox. By default, the E-Mail Scan extension writes log information to the file MAILSCAN.TXT in the VirusScan program directory. You can enter a different name in the text box provided, or click Browse to locate a suitable file elsewhere on your hard disk or on your network. You may use a different file, but the text file must already exist. The extension will not create a new file. NOTE: If you choose a different location for your log file on a Windows NT Workstation v4.0 or Windows 2000 Professional system, verify that you choose a location to which you have user-level access. Because the E-Mail Scan extension runs with the same access rights that your e-mail client program does, it cannot write to this log file correctly if the file exists in a location that requires Administrator access rights, and you have logged in as a user to run your e-mail client program. Instead, the E-Mail Scan extension will give you an "Activity Log Access Error" message when it detects a virus. 3. To minimize the log file size, select the Limit size of log file to checkbox, then enter a value for the file size, in kilobytes, in the text box provided. If you do not select this checkbox, the log file can grow to as large a size as your disk space permits. Enter a value between 10KB and 999KB. By default, the extension limits the file size to 100KB. If the data in the log exceeds the file size you set, the extension erases the existing log and begins again from the point at which it left off. 4. Select the checkboxes that correspond to the information you want the extension to record in its log file. Each checkbox you select here causes the extension to record this information, usually when the scan operation ends, or when you shut your system down: • Virus detection. Select this checkbox to have the log file record how many viruses the extension finds during each scan operation. Clear the checkbox to leave this information out of the log file. • Virus cleaning. Select this checkbox to have the log file record how many infected files the extension cleans-or tries to clean-during each scan operation. Clear this checkbox to leave this information out of the log file. User's Guide 267
