Trend Micro PC-cillin

Setting virus scan actions

For both Manual Scan and Real-time Scan, you can set actions PC-cillin executes when it detects a virus. We recommend you use the default scan action setting, Clean. Any virus scan action PC-cillin executes is recorded as a log entry in the Virus log.

To set a virus scan action:

  1. On the PC-cillin window, click Settings. The Settings window appears.

  2. On the Settings menu, click the Virus Scan link. The menu expands. Do one of the following:

  • To set Manual Scan virus scan actions, click the Manual Scan link.

  • To set Real-time Scan virus scan actions, click the Real-time Scan link.

Depending on the link you clicked, the Manual Scan or Real-time Scan screen appears.

  1. On the Manual Scan or Real-time Scan screen, under Scan action, select one of the following virus scan actions from the Action when virus found list:

  • Deny Access- Deny the user access to the infected file (Real-time Scan only).

  • Pass- Record virus infection or malicious files in the Virus log, but take no action (Manual Scan only).

  • Rename- Modify the file's extension to prevent opening or execution.

  • Quarantine- Move infected or malicious files to a restricted access folder.

  • Clean- (Default) Remove virus code from infected files.

  • Delete- Remove the infected or malicious files (e.g., Trojans, worms, etc.).

  1. Click Apply.
