If you have a virus scanning program, and you turn on virus scanning in SecureZIP, SecureZIP automatically launches your virus scanner to scan for viruses in the folders to which you have just extracted files. You can configure and turn on virus scanning from the Virus Scan tab of Security Options. You can also have PKZIP scan the files in an archive for viruses. (Again, you must first have configured a virus scanner in PKZIP.) To scan an archive for viruses, open the archive in PKZIP and choose “Virus Scan” from the Actions menu. PKZIP extracts the files to a temporary location, launches your configured virus scanner to scan them, and deletes the temporary files afterward.
