Parameter Description

specified file; the file name must be given right after this

the information to the end of the file; when a new file is
specified, it will be created.
-repok Switches on reporting of uninfected files 'is OK'.
-stoplevel N Pauses when an erroneous state is encountered during
scanning. Requires the integer argument N defining the
internal code of a state in which the scan shall be paused.
-h, --help Prints a brief overview of the program's options and usage.
-pup Results in the detection of "potentially unwanted programs"
within the scanning. Potentially unwanted program can be
for example spy-ware or other possibly insecure programs.
Note: If you launch the avgscan command with the –clean parameter, AVG Anti-
Virus will attempt to heal all infected files automatically. When the healing is
successful, a $VAULT$.AVG folder is created (unless it exists already) in the home
directory of the user who performed the test. The infected files are moved into this
directory then, whereas the cleaned files remain in their original locations. Note the
infected files are stored in a special AVG Anti-Virus format, ensuring they are
absolutely harmless for your system!
