Installation

SafetyScan comes with two files, safescan.exe, and sscan.hlp.  Create a new directory for these files and move them both into it.

To run SafetyScan, double click on the file called safescan.exe.  A small magnifying glass icon will appear in the System Tray near the clock.  Right click on this icon and select Open.

To create a shortcut to this file in your Start->Programs Menu:

1. Launch Explorer and find the file safescan.exe

2. Right click on the Windows 95 Start Button and select Open.

3. Double Click on Programs.

4. With the right mouse button, drag the safescan.exe file into the Programs window, and select Create Shortcut Here.  You may rename the shortcut to SafetyScan if you wish.

5. You may now launch SafetyScan by clicking Start>Programs>SafetyScan.


Overview

SafetyScan operates by regularly scanning your hard drive for various error producing files and then optionally cleaning them from your system for you.

SafetyScan targets specific types of error producing files that common disk utilities, un-install, defrag, scandisk, and sweep type programs will miss.

The error files that SafetyScan searches for and deletes can produce very hazardous results if not properly cleaned from your drive on a periodical basis.

The symptoms that these error files can produce include:

 Lost network and Internet connections.

 Mysterious application lock ups.

 Lost data

 Unexplainable General Protection Faults (GPFs) or Fatal Errors in your applications.

 Virus like behavior

 Mysterious Reboots

These error files accumulate over time, occupying megabytes of space on your hard drive.  SafetyScan will clean these files and recover the lost space from your system.  Regular use of SafetyScan will prevent these files from accumulating and wasting valuable disk space.

SafetyScan stays out of the way and is very easy to use.  It sits quietly in your Windows 95 System Tray, scanning for and cleaning error files on a scheduled basis.

The only thing you will notice is less problems with your computer and more hard drive space!


Operation

SafetyScan is very simple and easy to operate.  It resides in the Windows 95 System Tray (usually the lower right corner of the screen with the small icons) and may be accessed by Right-Clicking on the small magnifying glass icon, and selecting Open.

There are two tabbed sections of the application: The Main Tab and the Options Tab.

The Main Tab

This displays the files that SafetyScan finds when it scans.  You may select only some of these files for deletion by using the <Shift> and <CTRL> keys with the mouse to select individual files, and then clean them using the Clean Selected button, or you may use the Clean All button to clean all displayed files from your system.

The Scan button allows you to manually scan for error files at any time.  If the SafetyScan window is not minimized in the System Tray, SafetyScan will not automatically scan for files.

Note:  SafetyScan will attempt to not delete files that are locked by your system or are tagged as read-only files.  Files that are cleaned are permanently deleted.

The Options Tab

This displays the configuration options for SafetyScan. They are:

1. Scan For...:  These checkboxes allow you to choose which of the most common error producing files to scan for.  These are the filters that SafetyScan will use in order to filter out the error files from your hard drive.

2. Also Scan For...: These two spaces allow the advanced user to set two custom filters for SafetyScan to use when determining which files are error files.

Be careful !! These custom filters can do damage to your system if not used properly and should only be used by an individual with a good knowledge of such filters!!  Unisyn cannot take any responsibility for misuse of this option.

3. Drive to Scan:  Use this to select the drive that SafetyScan will scan and clean files from.

4. Scan Interval:  Use this to set the interval that SafetyScan scans your system for error files.  It can be from every minute to every hour.  Sliding this all the way to the left will disable automatic scanning.

5.  Re-Scan after all manual cleans:  Select this option if you would like SafetyScan to re-scan for errors each time you manually clean your drive.  Leaving this option unchecked can save time.

6.  Automatically clean all found files after each timed scan:  Select this option if you would like SafetyScan to automatically delete the files that it finds when scanning in the background automatically.
