Creating new tasks
Although the tasks that come in the default set can provide your system with
nearly comprehensive anti-virus protection, you will probably want to create
and run your own tasks after you have some experience with Dr Solomon’s
Anti-Virus and have a good idea of what and when you want it to scan.
You can modify some aspects of the default tasks that come with the Dr
Solomon’s Anti-Virus Console, but you may not delete, rename or—with the
exception of the Scan My Computer and Scan Drive ‘C’ tasks—create new
instances of them. You may copy the existing configuration options from the
Scan MyComputer and Scan Drive‘C’ tasksfor use asfoundation settings for
your own new tasks.
