Scanning cc:Mail
Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus includes native support for Microsoft Exchange and
Outlook clients, and for Lotus cc:Mail v6.0, v7.0, and v8.0. The cc:Mail clients
use a proprietary e-mail system that the E-Mail Scan extension does not
support directly. Instead, Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus includes a specialized
cc:Mail extensions that plugs into VShield software, logs on to your cc:Mail
system, then operates unobtrusively in the background, polling your cc:Mail
Inbox to check for new mail. When new mail arrives, the cc:Mail scanner
examines it for any infected attachments before your client software
downloads it to your computer.
The only real interaction you will have with cc:Mail Scan is when you choose
which corporate e-mail system you want the VShield scanner to examine for
viruses. To learn how to specify cc:Mail as your corporate e-mail system, see
“Choosing Detection options” on page 128.
If you havenot yet loggedin toyour cc:Mail server,the cc:Mailscanner might
also ask you toenter your user name and password into a login screen so that
itcan getaccess toyourcc:MailserverandscanyourInbox.Enteryourcc:Mail
usernameandpassword, just asif youwereloggingdirectlyintocc:Mail,then
click OK to continue. Next, start your cc:Mail client application, then set the
interval for the client to poll your cc:Mail server to a period longer than five
minutes. This gives VShield software a chance to examine your mail before
your client software retrieves it.
The cc:Mail component logs off from your e-mail server when you quit your
client software.

saver runs. With it, you can turn otherwise idle computer time to productive
use by allowing your machine to check itself for virus infections. ScreenScan
will not take any action against viruses it detects, but it will record the results
