DTAM106 - McAfee VirusScan On-Access Scanner All Processes settings must be configured to scan inside archive files.

Information

Malware is often packaged within an archive. In addition, archives might have other archives within. Not scanning archive files introduces the risk of infected files being introduced into the environment.

Solution

Access the local VirusScan console by clicking Start->All Programs->McAfee->VirusScan Console.
On the menu bar, click Task->On-Access Scanner Properties.
Select All Processes.

Under the Scan Items tab, locate the 'Compressed files:' label. Select the 'Scan inside archives (e.g., .ZIP)' option.

Click OK to Save.
