Help for Advanced options window 
--------------------------------

The Advanced options pop-up window allows you to specify more complex
combinations of drives, subdirectories, and files to be checked for
viruses than does the Check system pop-up window. The Advanced options
pop-up window is accessed by selecting the Advanced options push button
on the Check system pop-up window. 

Select the drive, directory, and files you want to check. Then use the
Add push button to add them to the Paths selected for checking box.
Repeat this process until everything that you want to check is listed in
the Paths selected for checking selection box. Use the Save settings push
button if you want to save these settings permanently. Then use the
Execute push button to perform the check. 

Note that only items that appear in the Paths selected for checking
selection box are used during this check. The only way to put items in
the Paths selected for checking selection box is with the Add push
button. 


Help for Drives/Directories 
___________________________

Use the Drives/Directories selection boxes to select a drive and
directory to check. The files to check on that drive and directory are
selected with the Files to check box. 

Note that you must use the Add push button to add a selected item to the
Paths selected for checking selection box in order for it to be checked. 


Help for Files to check 
_______________________

Use the Files to check box to select the files to check on the specified
drive and directory. 

Selecting Program files tells IBM AntiVirus/DOS to check files that are
normally executable on the specified drive and directory. These are files
that have file types of BAT, BIN, CMD, COM, DOS, DLL, EXE, OS2, OV?, PRG
and SYS. Selecting All files tells IBM AntiVirus/DOS to check all files
on the specified drive and directory. In either case, the master boot
record and all active partition boot records on the specified drive are
also checked if the drive is a local hard disk, including Boot Manager
boot records. 

Normally, viruses only infect program files. Checking program files is
the correct thing to do in most cases. The only exceptions are if an
executable file has been renamed to some other file type or if a program
uses overlay files that have some other file type. Usually, files other
than program files are data files that do not become infected with
viruses. Checking all files finds viruses, no matter what files they are
in, but it takes longer because more files need to be checked. 

Selecting Specific files allows you to specify a particular file in the
selection box below. The selection box displays the files in the selected
drive and directory. Select the files that you want to check, and select
the Add push button in the Paths selected for checking selection box to
add them to the list. 

Note that you must use the Add push button to add a selected item to the
Paths selected for checking selection box for it to be checked. 

If a file cannot be accessed for some reason, it is skipped and checking
continues.

____________________________________

When you have specified the drive, directory, and files that you want to
check, add them to the list by selecting the Add push button. You can
delete items from the list by selecting them, then selecting the Delete
push button. When the Paths selected for checking box lists everything
you want to check, select the Execute push button to perform the check. 

Note that you must use the Add push button to add a selected item to the
Paths selected for checking selection box in order to check it. 


Help for Add 
____________

Use the Add push button to add the specified drive, directory, and files
to the list of files to check.

files to check in Paths selected for checking. 


Help for Advanced options Default settings 
__________________________________________

Use the Default settings push button to return the settings on the
Advanced options pop-up window to their default and recommended values.
Any other values that had been specified are discarded. 

The Save settings push button needs to be selected to save the default
settings for subsequent sessions. 


Help for Advanced options Save settings 
_______________________________________

Use the Save settings push button to save the settings on the Advanced
options pop-up window. When you select Advanced options at a later time,
these saved settings are used. 


Help for Advanced options Execute 
_________________________________

directories, and files for viruses now. If a virus is found, you will be
given the option to remove the virus and to do a more thorough search to
make sure all instances of the virus are eliminated. 

Note that you must use the Add push button to add a selected item to the
Paths selected for checking selection box for it to be used for this
check. 


Help for Advanced options Cancel 
________________________________
