VirusScan Console and how it works
After you understand what VirusScan Enterprise does and its components, you need to understand how to access its features. Use one of these methods to open the VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 Console:

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 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.
- Help — Access online Help topics, the Threat Library on the McAfee Labs website, the Submit a Sample website, and the Technical Support website. You can also repair the product installation and view the About dialog box for copyright information and which versions of the product, license, definition files, scanning engine, extra driver, and patch are installed.
