Each of the checkboxes you select in the Action page causes an
option button to appear in an alert message that the application
displays when it finds a virus. Selecting Delete file, here, for
example, causes a Delete button to appear in the alert message.
You can choose from these options:
– Clean infection. This option tells the application to try to
remove the virus code from the infected file. If you have its
reporting function enabled, it will record alog event each time
it successfully cleans, or fails to clean, an infected file.
– Delete file. This option tells the application to delete the
infected file immediately.
– Exclude item. This option tells the application to skip the file
during later scan operations. This is the only option not
selected by default.
