This option enables you to choose how notification will be given of the detection of a virus in the computer in which it was detected. If you indicate that you wish to see the warnings in the computer where the virus was found, a button allows you to configure the type of notification.

Audible warning: plays a sound the moment a virus is detected.

Audible warning û beep: if this option is chosen, a beep will be heard each time a virus is detected.

Audible warning û WAV file: if you select this option, each time a virus is detected a WAV type file will be played. You can indicate which WAV file you wish to hear.
