• The VirusScan Console. This component allows you to create, configure
and run VirusScan tasks at times you specify. A “task” can include
anything from running a scan operation on a set of disks at a specific time
or interval, to running an update or upgrade operation. You can also enable
or disable the VShield scanner from the Console window. The Console
comes with a preset list of tasks that ensures a minimal level of protection
for your system—you can, for example, immediately scan and clean your
C: drive or all disks on your computer. See “Creating and Configuring
Scheduled Tasks” on page 191 of the VirusScan User’s Guide for details.
