About VirusScan Software Interface enhancements This release moves the VirusScan interface for all supported platforms solidly into the territory VirusScan for Windows 95 and Windows 98 pioneered with its v4.0.1 release. This adds extensive VShield scanner configuration options for the Windows NT Workstation v4.0 and Windows 2000 Professional platforms, while reducing the complexity of some previous configuration options. Alert Manager server configuration, for example, moves entirely over to the NetShield product line-VirusScan software now acts strictly as a configurable client application. This release also adds a new VirusScan control panel, which functions as a central point from which you can enable and disable all VirusScan components. This control panel also lets you set a ceiling for the number of items you can scan in or exclude from a single operation, and can set the VShield scanner and VirusScan control panel to run at startup. Other changes include: • New VShield system tray icon states tell you more about which VShield modules are active. These states are: - All VShield modules are active - The System Scan module is active, but one or more of the other VShield modules is inactive - The System Scan module is inactive, but one or more of the other VShield modules is active - All VShield modules are inactive • New interface settings for task configuration allow you to tell the VirusScan application how you want it to appear as your scheduled task runs and what you want it to do when it finishes. You can also set a password to protect individual task settings from changes, or to protect an entire task configuration at once. • An updated randomization feature for scheduled tasks allows you to set a time for the task to run, then set a randomization "window." The VirusScan Console then picks a random time within the window to actually start the task. • System Scan module action options now include a new Prompt Type configuration option for Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems. This option lets you determine how the Prompt for user action alert appears. 32 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
