McAfee VirusScan
What is McAfee VirusScan?
The VirusScan name applies both to the entire set of desktop anti-virus
program components described in this chapter, and to a particular component
of that set: SCAN32.EXE, or the VirusScan “on-demand” scanner. “On
demand” means that you as a user control when VirusScan starts and ends a
scan operation, which targets it examines, what it does when it finds a virus,
or any other aspect of the program’s operation. Other VirusScan components,
by contrast, operate automatically or according to a schedule you set.
VirusScan originally consisted solely of an on-demand scanner—features
since integrated into the program now provide a cluster of anti-virus functions
that give you maximum protection against virus infections and attacks from
malicious software.

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