Once VirusScan Enterprise is installed, the shield
icon appears in the Windows system tray if you configured this
feature during the installation process.
Note the following:
- The icon changes when the on-access scanner detects access
protection violations. A red frame surrounds the icon for 30
minutes unless you reset it. For more information, see Access
violations and how VirusScan Enterprise responds
in the Protecting Your System Access Points section.
- Double-click the icon to display these menu options:
- VirusScan Console — Opens the
VirusScan Console.
- Disable On-Access Scan — Toggles
between disable and enable.
Note: The access
protection, buffer overflow protection, and script scan features
use the on-access scanner. If the on-access scanner is disabled,
you are not protected from access violations, buffer overflows, or
execution of unwanted scripts.
