Description
Append information to the specified report file instead of
overwriting it.
Create a file containing the results in HTML format.
Display a progress summary during the scan.
Note that this option can produce a large amount of information.
Create a report of infected files and system errors, and save the
data to the specified file in ASCII text file format.
If that file already exists, /REPORT overwrites it. To avoid
overwriting, use the /APPEND option with /REPORT. The
scanner then adds report information to the end of the file,
instead of overwriting it.
You can also use /RPTALL, /RPTCOR and /RPTERR to add
more information to the report.
You can include the destination drive and directory (such as
D:\VSREPRT\ALL.TXT), but if the destination is a network
drive, you must have rights to create and delete files on that
drive.
You may find it helpful to add a list of scanning options to the
report files. To do this, type at the command prompt:
SCAN /HELP /APPEND /REPORT <FILENAME>
We recommend you do not use /PAUSE when using any report
option.
Include the names of all scanned files in the report file.
Include a list of corrupted files in the report file.
Include system errors in the report file.
System errors can include problems reading or writing to a disk
or hard disk, file system or network problems, problems
creating reports, and other system-related problems.
Display the name of each virus that the scanner can detect.
This option produces a long list, which is best viewed from a
text file. To do this, type:
SCAN /VIRLIST /REPORT <FILENAME.TXT>
