Here you can tell the VShield scanner to look for viruses in files
susceptible to infection whenever you open, run, copy, save or otherwise
modify them. Susceptible files include various types of executable files
and document files with embedded macros, such as Microsoft Office
files. The System Scan module will also scan files stored on floppy disks
whenever you read from or write to them, or when you shut down your
computer.
If it finds a virus, the module will sound an alert and prompt you for a
response. The module will also record its actions and summarize its
current settings in a log file that you can review later.
