single alert or event, click Advanced and click an alert or event name in
the list. To specify more than one alert or event, type a name in the text

specify all viruses with names beginning W32/.

measured, for example, each hour or each day, click the drop-down arrow and
select an interval.
On the Schedule tab, select Schedule this report if you want to run the report at regular intervals, with the results being sent to your chosen recipients as email attachments.
