Configuring the E-mail Scan module
The WinGuard E-mail Scan module looks for viruses in files

systems thatadhere to the MessagingApplication Programming
Interface (MAPI) standard, such as Microsoft Exchange and
Outlook, or later versions of Lotus cc:Mail. It also includes a
special scan mode that looks for viruses in earlier cc:Mail versions.
This module can work with the Download Scan module to examine messages
that arrive via POP-3 or SMTP e-mail client programs such as Eudora,
Netscape Mail, or Outlook Express. The module pays particular attention to
attachments that come with your e-mail, which are the biggest potential
source of viruses. Because it can scan e-mail as soon as it appears on your
desktop, the module canintercept viruses beforethey have a chance to spread.
Whenit findsavirus,themodulecanaskyou whatyou wantit to do,orit can
take a variety of automatic actions in response. You can have it report what it
has done either with an alert message when it takes the action, or in a log file

sent an infected e-mail message, which makes tracking the source of virus
infections relatively simple.

you installed Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus and specified that you wanted to
install the E-Mail Scan module.
By default, the WinGuard scanner does not enable the E-Mail Scan
module when it first starts—you must tell the module which e-mail
systems you use before it can activate.
