Dependent and related files for the E-Mail Scan extension
The E-Mail Scan extension runs as an add-in to your MAPI e-mail system. If you use
a Microsoft Exchange or Outlook client, the extension loads into the client application
and appears as menu items in the Tools menu and as buttons in the application toolbar.
You can use the extension to run scan operations whenever you wish. The extension
requires a number of support files to function, including some related to the McAfee
VirusScan’s scan engine. This table lists extension and related files:
