Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus
The Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus application operates in two modes: the Dr
Solomon’s Anti-Virus “Classic” interface gets you up and running quickly,
with a minimum of configuration options, but with the full power of the Dr
Solomon’s Anti-Virus anti-virus scanning engine; the Dr Solomon’s
Anti-Virus Advanced mode adds flexibility to the program’s configuration
options, including the ability to run more than one scan operation
concurrently.

Scheduling scan tasks
The Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus Console runs scan operations and other tasks on
the dates and at the times you choose, or at intervals you set. Use the Console
to run a scan operation in your absence, when it causes the least disruption to
your work, as part of a series of automated tasks, or in other ways that suit
your needs.

Using specialized scanning tools
In addition to the continuous background scanning that the WinGuard
scanner provides you with through its E-Mail Scan module, Dr Solomon’s
Anti-Virus includes a Microsoft Outlook client extension designed specifically
to look for viruses in your Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook
mailboxes. The E-Mail Scan extension gives you the ability to scan your mail
servers at your own initiative, and at times convenient for you. An
unobtrusive plug-in architecture gives you access to the scanner from directly
within your Exchange or Outlook client application.
