128 Scanning for viruses and other threats Configuring scan options Displaying and customizing a warning message on an infected computer When you run a remote scan on a user's computer, you can immediately notify the user of a problem by displaying a warning message on the infected computer's screen. You can customize the warning message by including information such as the name of the threat, the name of the infected file, the status of the infection, and so on. The default warning message contains message variables and text. The message variable is in brackets. Everything outside the brackets is text. You can change the text and message variables that are in the warning message to suit your needs. Table 3-4 describes the message variables. Table 3-4 Warning message variables Variable Text [LoggedBy] [Event] [VirusName] [PathAndFilename] [Location] [Computer] [User] [ActionTaken] [DateFound] [Status] Type of scan that logged the event: Auto-Protect, scheduled, or manual scan.
