Using the VShield Scanner 2. Choose a response from the When a virus is found list. The area beneath the list will change to show you additional options for each response. Your choices are: • Prompt for user action. Choose this response if you want the E-Mail Scan module to ask you what to do when it finds a virus-the module will display an alert message and offer you a range of possible responses. NOTE: If you choose Prompt for user action from the list, click the Alert tab to specify whether you want the E-Mail Scan module to prompt you with a message, a beep, or both. Select the options you want to see in the alert message. Each of the checkboxes you select here causes an option button to appear in an alert message that the module displays when it finds a virus. Selecting Delete file here, for example, causes a Delete button to appear in the alert message. You can choose from these options: - Clean file. This option tells the module to try to remove the virus code from the infected file. If you have its reporting function enabled, it will record a log event each time it successfully cleans, or fails to clean, an infected file. NOTE: The E-Mail Scan module does not support this option for Lotus cc:Mail v7.x and earlier e-mail systems. The option will not appear here if you selected Lotus cc:Mail in the E-Mail Scan Detection page. - Delete file. This option tells the module to delete the infected attachment immediately. The module will, however, preserve the e-mail message it came in. - Move file. This option tells the module to move the infected file to a quarantine folder. The alert message will display a Move file to button that allows you to locate a quarantine folder. - Continue scan. This option tells the module to continue scanning, but to take no other actions. If you have its reporting options enabled, the module records the incident in its log file. • Move infected files to a folder. Choose this response to have the module move infected files to a quarantine folder as soon as it finds them. The module moves these files to a folder named Infected located in the VirusScan program directory. 122 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
