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.
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 ?.
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.
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
