Follow each of these steps: • To make sure InterCheck is running, look for the red ‘lightning strike’ icon on the right-hand side of the Windows taskbar. Double-click the icon and a small window will appear. It should contain the text ‘Status: Active’. • To make sure the Sophos Anti-Virus on-demand scanner is installed correctly, start the program: at the taskbar select Start|Programs|Sophos Anti-Virus|Sophos Anti-Virus SWEEP. When it has started up, the ‘Immediate’ tabbed page should be displayed, and there should be a ‘green light’ icon against the ‘C:\’ or ‘Local hard drives’ path. The text in the lower window of the scanner should contain a list of the IDEs that are being used.
