DTAM001 - McAfee VirusScan On-Access Scanner General Settings must be configured to enable on-access scanning at system startup.

Information

For Antivirus software to be effective, it must be running at all times, beginning from the point of the system's initial startup. Otherwise, the risk is greater for viruses, trojans, and other malware infecting the system during that startup phase.

Solution

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

Under the General tab, locate the 'General:' label. Select the 'Enable on-access scanning at system startup' option.

Click OK to Save.
