SETTING ON-ACCESS SCANNING PROPERTIES
On-access scanning is an important part of protection. It prevents your system
from becoming infected between full scans. This on-access protection is
provided through Dynamic Virus Protection (DVP).
DVP provides transparent, on-access scans of each program that is run or file
that is opened. This includes programs run from the hard drive, a diskette, or
CD-ROM, and the boot sector of each diskette that is read. The moment you
place a diskette or CD-ROM in the drive and run or copy a program, the diskette
or CD-ROM is scanned automatically. DVP also scans files that are opened from
the Command Prompt.
DVP is turned on by default and is set to disinfect when a virus infection is found.
You can turn off DVP protection or change its on-access scanning properties
through the Preferences menu. For example, you can select whether to scan
diskette drives, local hard drives, or network drives. You can also select the
action to take when a virus infection is found.
This section contains information on how to start or stop DVP scanning. It also
contains information on how to set the DVP scanning properties.
To start or stop DVP scanning or change the DVP scanning properties, follow
these steps:
1. On the Command AntiVirus menu bar, click Preferences. The system
displays the Preferences menu:
