Using the VShield Scanner
154 McAfee VirusScan
Method 3: Use the VShield Properties dialog box
Follow these steps:
1. Right-click the VShield icon in the Windows system tray to display
the VShield shortcut menu.
2. Point to Properties, then choose a module name to open the VShield
Properties dialog box (Figure 4-45).

3. For each module that you want to disable, click the corresponding icon
along the left side of the dialog box, then click the Detection tab.
4. Clear the Enable checkbox at the top of each module page.
As you do so, the scanner will disable that module and make all of the
configuration options in that page unavailable. Depending on which
modules you disable, the VShield icon will display a different state.
If you disable all of its modules, the scanner will display in the
Windows system tray, unless you clear the Show icon in the taskbar
checkbox in the System Scan Detection property page. In that case,
VShield will not display an icon in the system tray.
Using this method to disable the module makes the disabled state the
module’s “default” state. If you later use the shortcut menu to enable the
module, it will stay enabled only until you restart your VirusScan
software or your computer.
