/VIRLIST
/XMSDATA
On-demand Scans subdirectories inside a directory.

• By default, when you specify a directory to scan
rather than a drive, the scanner will examine
only the files it contains, not its subdirectories.
• Use /SUB to scan all subdirectories within any
directories you have specified.
• It is not necessary to use /SUB if you are
scanning an entire drive.
On-demand Scan inside compressed files.

On-demand Displays the name and a brief description of each
scanning only virus that the scanner detects.
You may use the /PAUSE option on the same
command line as /VIRLIST to read the virus list
one screen at a time.
To redirect the /VIRLIST output to a text file:
At the command prompt, type
scan /VIRLIST <filename>.txt
Because the scanner can detect many viruses, this
file will be over 250 pages long. This is too large
for the MS-DOS Edit program to open; McAfee
recommends using Notepad or another text editor
to open the virus list.
On-access Loads VShield data files into XMS memory.
