Method 4: Starting the application from the command line
Follow these steps:
1. Click Start in the Windows taskbar, point to Programs,thenchoose
MS-DOS Prompt if your computer runs Windows 95 or Windows 98. If
your computer runs Windows NT Workstation v4.0 or Windows 2000
Professional, choose Command Prompt instead.
Windows displays a command-prompt window. If you installed the Dr
Solomon’s Anti-Virus to its default location, change to this directory:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Network Associates
\On Demand Scanner\Scan32
2. Type this line at the command prompt:
scan32.exe <scan target> /<configuration options>
Here,<scan target> meansanydrive,directorypath,orfilename you
want the application to examine. Specify drives with DOS-style names
—C: or D:, for example—and give complete path names for directories
according to the conventions available for your operating system.
You may use long names on Windows NT Workstation v4.0 and
Windows 2000 Professional systems, but you must use truncated names
on Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems.
3. Follow the scan target with the set of configuration options, if any, that
you want this scan operation to use as it runs. For a complete list of
availableoptions,seetheDrSolomon’sAnti-VirusAdministrator’sGuide.
Precedeeachoptionwitha/. Although theapplicationwill allowyou to
specify some options without the /, specifying others will result in an
error. You may specify any necessary parameters for your options
without special notation.
Depending onthe command-line options you choose, starting the application
this way can either run a scan operation or display the Dr Solomon’s
Anti-Virus application window, where you can choose configuration options
for a scan operation.
