This option tells the VirusScan application to open its main window and
await configuration option changes. To start a scan operation after you
change configuration options, click the Scan Now button in the
application window.
Setting this option will disable the /AUTOSCAN option if you use it in the
same command line.
This option prevents you from making changes to configuration options
or scan targets you've set previously. Instead, it tells the VirusScan
application to open its Scan Only window and begin a scan operation
immediately.
This option tells the VirusScan application to run a scan task
immediately with no visible interface. You must tell the application on the
same command line which scan targets it must examine. Enter the drive
designation, or a complete path to a file or directory you want it to scan.
This option tells the VirusScan application to look for viruses in any
subfolders inside the directory you specified as your scan target.
Note: This option causes the application to scan only those files stored
in the subfolders themselves. The application will not scan files stored at
the root level of the folder you designate. To scan those files, run the
application with the /NOSUB option.
This option tells the VirusScan application not to look for viruses in any
subfolders inside the directory you specified as your scan target.
Note: This option causes the application to scan only those files stored
at the root level of the folder you designate. The application will not scan
files stored in any subfolder beneath that level. To scan those files, run
the application with the /SUB option.
This option tells the VirusScan application to scan all of the files stored
on the drive or in the folder you specified as your scan target, whatever
their extensions.
This option tells the VirusScan application to scan only those files stored
on the drive or in the folder you specified as your scan target that have
the extensions predefined in the application's default program extension
list.
Use the /EXT option to replace the default extension list with a set of
extensions you specify on the same command line. Use the /DEFEXT
option to supplement the default extension list with extensions you add
on the same command line.
This option tells the VirusScan application to scan files saved in
compressed file archives. Examples of such archives include .ZIP, .CAB,
.LZH, and .UUE files. This can slow down scan operations, but gives
your system better protection.
