MCAFEE VIRUSSCAN (1998)

McAfee VirusScan 4.0.1 had a Classic interface built around three tabs: Where & What, Action, and Report. Choose a drive or folder, decide which files to check, then press Scan Now.

This exhibit recreates that on-demand scanning workflow using sample file names. Browse, file extensions, scan settings, Stop, New Scan and the activity log work locally.

The clean-drive scenario finishes without detections. The optional EICAR scenario demonstrates the old Virus Found dialog and its Continue, Delete and Move responses. It contains no test-file payload, and never scans or changes files on your computer.

Condition: VirusScan 4.0.1 Classic. Sample drive ready to scan.

The program is open in its own window. Everything in it is imaginary: nothing on your computer is touched.
