Accessing user interface options
There are a number of ways to access the standalone version of the VirusScan Enterprise user
interface. This information does not apply when using ePolicy Orchestrator to manage the
product.
VirusScan Console and how it works
The VirusScan Console is the interface for the standalone version of the program's activities.
Use either of these methods to open the VirusScan Console:
• From the Start menu, select Programs | McAfee | VirusScan Console.
• Right-click the VirusScan Enterprise shield icon in the system tray, then select VirusScan
Console.
The VirusScan Console is separated into these sections:
• Menu bar -— Use the menu items to create tasks, configure properties, and access additional
information.
• Task — Create and configure tasks such as scanning for threats or updating the DAT
files.
• Edit — Copy, paste, delete, or rename the selected task.
• View — Display the Toolbar and/or Status bar and refresh the display.
• Tools — Configure interface options for users, lock or unlock user interface security,
configure alerts, access the event viewer, open a remote console if you have administrator
rights, import or edit the repository list, and roll back the DAT files.
