Using the Command-Line Scanner
Choosing the options
3
/ANALYZE
/ANALYSE
Use heuristic analysis to find possible new viruses in
“clean” files.
This step occurs after the program has checked the file for
other viruses and potentially unwanted software. See
Using
heuristic analysis
on page 24
for details.
For macro viruses only, use
/MANALYZE
. For program
viruses only, use
/PANALYZE
.
/APPENDBAD
Use with
/BADLIST
.
Append names of infected files to an existing file, as
specified by
/BADLIST
.
See also
Creating a list of infected files
on page 23
.
/BADLIST
<FILENAME>
None.
Create a list of infected files.
See also
Creating a list of infected files
on page 23
.
/BOOT
Do not use with
/NODDA
.
Scan boot sector and master boot record only.
/BPRESTORE
None.
Restore sectors from backup after cleaning.
/CHECKLIST
<FILENAME>
None.
Scan the files listed in the specified file.
See also
Creating a list of infected files
on page 23
.
/DOHSM
On Windows NT
and later versions
only.
Scan files that are offline.
These are files that Hierarchical Storage Management
(HSM) has archived because they have not been accessed
for some time. See also
/NORECALL
and
Scanning files in
remote storage
on page 18
.
/DRIVER
None.
Specify the location of the DAT files:
SCAN.DAT
,
NAMES.DAT
, and
CLEAN.DAT
.
If you do not specify this option in the command line, the
program looks in the same directory from where it is
executed. If it cannot find these data files, it issues exit
code 6.
/EXCLUDE
<FILENAME>
None.
Exclude the directories or files from the scan as specified in
<
FILENAME
>
.
List the complete path to each directory or file on its own
line. You may use wildcards,
*
and
?
.
/EXTRA
<FILENAME>
None.
Specify the location on any
EXTRA.DAT
file.
An
EXTRA.DAT
is a small, supplemental virus-definition file
that is released between regular DAT updates.
If you do not use this option in the command line, the
program looks in the same directory from where it was
executed.
If it cannot find this file, the program issues exit code 6.
/FAM
None.
Find all macros, not just macros suspected of being
infected.
The scanner treats any macro as a possible virus and
reports that the file “contains one or more macros.”
However, the macros are
not
removed.
If you suspect a file is infected, you can remove all macros
from the file using the
/FAM
and
/DAM
options together,
although this should be used with caution. For example:
SCAN
<FILENAME>
/FAM /DAM
