Configuring the scanners

You can configure the settings for both the On-Demand scanner and the On-Access

scanner using the

Preferences dialog box. Two versions of this dialog box are available;

one for configuring the On-Demand scanner, the other for the On-Access scanner. Both

scanners have the same general preferences, while advanced scanning options are

scanner-specific.

The preferences are saved automatically when you select them.

Configuring general preferences

General preferences apply to both the On-Demand scanner and the On-Access

scanner. They are the same for both.

To configure general preferences:

1 Click

panel in this dialog box contains general preferences options that apply to both the

On-Demand scanner and the On-Access scanner.

Note

Scanner preferences are global settings that apply to all users.

You need administrative privileges to modify preferences.
