Using VirusScan Command-line Options
/LOCK Not available
in
low-memory
environments
With this /LOCK option enabled, VirusScan will
halt and lock your system if it finds a virus.
/LOCK is appropriate in highly vulnerable network
environments, such as open-use computer labs.
McAfee recommends using /LOCK with the
/CONTACTFILE option to tell users what to do or
whom to contact if VirusScan locks the system.
/MANALYZE On-demand
scanning only
Extended
memory
required
Sets the scanner’s heuristic scanning features to
target macro viruses only.
/PANALYZE targets program viruses only.
/ANALYZE targets both program and macro
viruses.
/MANY On-demand
scanning only
Scans multiple disks consecutively in a single
drive. The scanner will prompt you for each disk.
Use this option to check multiple floppy disks
quickly.
You cannot use the /MANY option if you run the
scanner from a boot disk and you have only one
floppy drive.
/MAXFILESIZE
<xxx.x>
On-demand
scanning only
Scan only files no larger than <xxx.x> megabytes.
/MEMEXCL On-demand
scanning only
Not available
for Windows
Excludes the memory address A0000:0000 from
scanning.
/MOVE <dir> or *.??? On-demand
scanning only
/MOVE <directory>:
Moves all infected files found during a scan to the
specified directory, preserving drive letter and
directory structure.
This option has no effect if the Master Boot Record
or boot sector is infected, since these are not
actually files.
/MOVE*.???:
The scanner will change the extension of infected
files, but not move them. For example, using the
/MOVE*.BAD option will result in any infected files
being simply renamed with the extension .BAD but
not physically moved.
/NOBEEP On-demand
scanning only
Disables the tone that sounds whenever the
scanner finds a virus.
