When installed on your Microsoft Windows system, VirusScan
becomes an effective solution against viruses, Trojan-horse programs, and other types
of potentially unwanted software.
The command-line scanner enables you to search for viruses in any directory or file in
your computer on demand — in other words, at any time. The command-line scanner
also features options that can alert you when the scanner detects a virus or that enable
the scanner to take a variety of automatic actions.
When kept up-to-date with the latest virus definition (DAT) files, the scanner is an
important part of your network security. We recommend that you set up a security
policy for your network that incorporates as many protective measures as possible. The
scanner acts as an interface to the powerful scanning engine — the engine common to
all our security products.
