xii McAfee VirusScan

1Welcome to McAfee VirusScan

How Does VirusScan Software Work?

VirusScan software combines the anti-virus industry’s most capable scan

engine with top-notch interface enhancements that give you complete access

to that engine’s power. The VirusScan graphical user interface unifies its

specialized program components, but without sacrificing the flexibility you

need to fit the software into your computing environment. The scan engine,

meanwhile, combines the best features of technologies that McAfee and

McAfee VirusScan researchers developed independently for more than a

decade.

What Comes With VirusSca n Softwar e?

VirusScan software consists of several components that combine one or more

related programs, each of which play a part in defending your computer

against viruses and other malicious software. These components are:

• The VirusScan main window. This is your central entry point in using all
of the available components of McAfee VirusScan. The main window
provides relevant information such as the last time a virus scan was
performed on your computer and your computer’s current VShield
settings. The main window also informs you of the availability of updates
to your product.

1

Through this user-friendly interface, you access the main functions of
McAfee VirusScan – simply select “Pick a task” to access and use all
VirusScan features and components.

For answers to questions about viruses, product support, or to view on-line
help, refer to the See Also section of the VirusScan main window.

• On-Demand Scanning (ODS). On-demand scanning enables you to scan
at any time. For example, if you suspect you have come in contact with an
infected file, but have not accessed the file, you may manually scan the
suspect file, folder, drive, etc.

Welcome to McAfee VirusScan

• The VShield Scanner. This is an On-Access Scanning (OAS) component
that gives you continuous anti-virus protection from viruses that arrive on
floppy disks, from your network, or from various sources on the Internet.
The VShield scanner starts when you start your computer, and stays in
memory until you shut down. A flexible set of property pages lets you tell
the scanner which parts of your system to examine, what to look for, which
parts to leave alone, and how to respond to any infected files it finds. In
addition, the scanner can alert you when it finds a virus, and can
summarize each of its actions.

The VShield Scanner comes with specialized modules that guard against
hostile Java applets and ActiveX controls, that scan e-mail messages and
attachments that you receive from the Internet via Microsoft Mail or other
mail clients that comply with Microsoft’s Messaging Application
Programming Interface (MAPI) standard, and that block access to
dangerous Internet sites. Secure password protection for your
configuration options prevents others from making unauthorized changes.
The same convenient dialog box controls configuration options for all
VShield modules.

• Hostile Activity Watch Kernel. HAWK monitors your computer for
suspicious activity that may indicate a virus is present on your system. As
opposed to VirusScan, which cleans the virus, HAWK prevents viruses,
worms, and trojans from spreading further.

• Safe & Sound. This component allows you to create backup sets in

accessed and enables you to clean or delete them at your convenience.

submit files that you believe are infected directly to McAfee anti-virus
researchers. A simple wizard guides you as you choose files to submit,
include contact details and, if you prefer, strip out any personal or
confidential data from document files.

Microsoft Exchange or Outlook mailbox, or public folders to which you
have access, directly on the server. This invaluable “x-ray” peek into your
mailbox mean s that VirusScan software can find potential infections before
they make their way to your desktop, which can stop a Melissa-like virus
in its tracks.

Welcome to McAfee VirusScan

• The Emergency Disk creation utility. This essential utility helps you to
create a floppy disk that you can use to boot your computer into a
virus-free environment, then scan essential system areas to remove any
viruses that could load at startup.

• Bootable CD. The VirusScan Installation CD includes a CD version of the
emergency startup disk. If your computer is configured to start using its
CD drive, then you can use the CD to boot your computer in to a virus-free
environment then scan for viruses that load during startup.

• Instant Updater. Enables your computer to automatically communicate
with McAfee while you are connected to the internet and inquire of the
availability of product updates, updates to anti-virus signature files, and
updates to the VirusScan scan engine. You will also use this feature to
register your McAfee product.

• Wireless device protection. In addition to total anti-virus protection for
your PC, VirusScan protects your wireless device and PC from harmful
viruses transferred during the synchronization process.

• Command-line Scanners. This component consists of a set of full-featured
scanners you can use to run targeted scan operations from the MS-DOS
Prompt or Command Prompt windows, or from protected MS-DOS mode.
The set includes:

– SCAN.EXE, a scanner for 32-bit environments only. This is the

primary command-line interface. When you run this file, it first
checks its environment to see whether it can run by itself. If your
computer is running in 16-bit or protected mode, it will transfer
control to one of the other scanners.

– SCANPM.EXE, a scanner for 16-bit and 32-bit environments. This

scanner provides you with a full set of scanning options for 16-bit
and 32-bit protected-mode DOS environments. It also includes
support for extended memory and flexible memory allocations.
SCAN.EXE will transfer control to this scanner when its specialized
capabilities can enable your scan operation to run more efficiently.

– SCAN86.EXE, a scanner for 16-bit environments only. This scanner

includes a limited set of capabilities geared to 16-bit environments.
SCAN.EXE will transfer control to this scanner if your computer is
running in 16-bit mode, but without special memory configurations.

– BOOTSCAN.EXE, a smaller, specialized scanner for use primarily

with the Emergency Disk utility. This scanner ordinarily runs from
a floppy disk you create to provide you with a virus-free boot
environment.

Welcome to McAfee VirusScan

All of the command-line scanners allow you to initiate targeted scan
operations from an MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt window, or
from protected MS-DOS mode. Ordinarily, you'll use the VirusScan
application's graphical user interface (GUI) to perform most scanning
operations, but if you have trouble starting Windows or if the VirusScan
GUI components will not run in your environment, you can use the
command-line scanners as a backup.

• Integrated Firewall Solution. McAfee VirusScan adds McAfee Firewall to
safeguard your PC's connection to the Internet. Whether you're connected
via DSL, cable modem, satellite, or dial-up; the integrated firewall gives
you the powerful tools you need to control the communications into and
out of your PC. Mcafee Firewall provides Intrusion Detection, color-coded
and audible firewall alerts, enhanced graphical display of network activity,
and more.
