Using the Dr Solomon’sAnti-Virusapplication
If you connect to the Internet frequently or download files often, you might
want to schedule regular scan operations that sweep your system at set
intervals, so that you don't have to remember to start the Dr Solomon’s
Anti-Virus application. The Dr Solomon’sAnti-Virus Consoleprovides a very
flexible set of options for this purpose. To learn more about scheduling Dr
Solomon’sAnti-Virus application tasks, see“Creatingnew tasks”onpage219.
