Using the VShield Scanner Enabling the VShield scanner and its modules Once you have all VShield components installed, you can use any of four methods to enable them, in various combinations. Š NOTE: Enabling a module means activating it and loading it into your computer's memory for use. The VShield scanner can start and remain active in memory even with none of its modules enabled. Method 1: Use the VShield shortcut menu Follow these steps: 1. Right-click the VShield icon in the Windows system tray to display its shortcut menu. 2. Point to Quick Enable. 3. Choose one of the module names shown without a check mark. Module names that have a check mark beside them are active. Those without a check mark are inactive. If you use this method to enable a module, it remains enabled until you restart your VirusScan software or your computer. At that point, its state will depend on whether you have enabled or disabled the module in the VirusScan Properties dialog box. Depending on which combination of modules you enable, the VShield icon will display a different state. To learn what the different icon states mean, see "Understanding the VShield system tray icon states" on page 92. Method 2: Use the System Scan Status dialog box Follow these steps: 1. Double-click the VShield icon in the Windows system tray to open the System Scan Status dialog box (Figure 4-1). Figure 4-1. System Scan Status dialog box 90 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
