| Preferences worth making (using application) | On-Demand Scanner: Scan -> Options -> What to scan -> By content and extension Scan -> Options -> What to scan -> Compressed files Scan -> Options -> What to scan -> Inside archives Scan -> Options -> What to scan -> Inside subfolders Scan -> Options -> What to scan -> scan boot sectors Scan -> Options -> Action to take -> Disinfect Scan -> Options -> Action to take -> Disinfect -> (if fails) ... -> Application files -> Move file to: (i.e.) D:\programs\F-Prot\Moved Scan -> Options -> Action to take -> Disinfect -> (if fails) ... -> Documents -> Report only Scan -> Options -> Action to take -> Request confirmation (alternatively it may be worth creating different profiles of the above settings for different situations) unsure about this but an alternate means of doing this is by making the same choices as above in Scan -> Advanced -> [HARD DRIVES] -> Edit, then choose 'Set As Default' Settings -> Make a sound when a virus is found Settings -> Report -> Report file (i.e.) D:\programs\F-Prot\Report.txt Settings -> Report -> Append to file Real-Time Protector: in Windows 95 and 98 (non multi-user operating systems), you can set options for the Real-Time Protector Updater set the Updater to use either 'Internet (on-line)' or 'Local network (LAN)' depending on your situation Scheduler Define whether the Scheduler runs on startup or not with: Settings -> Run on startup Set the tasks in the updater to the times and frequency you want, using the 'Change' and 'Schedule' buttons. if you used the 'Set As Default' option in the On-Demand Scanner then you can retrieve those saved settings here with the 'Get Defaults' button |
