Using VirusScan Command-line Options
/RPTALL On-demand
scanning only
Include all scanned files in the /REPORT file.
When used with /REPORT, this option adds the
names of corrupted files to the report file.
McAfee VirusScan recommends omitting /PAUSE
when using any report option.
/RPTERR On-demand
scanning only
Include errors in /REPORT file.
When used with /REPORT, this option adds a list
of system errors to the report file.
/LOCK is appropriate in highly vulnerable network
environments, such as open-use computer labs.
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.
McAfee VirusScan recommends omitting /PAUSE
when using any report option.
/SAVE On-access
scanning only
Saves the command-line options to the
VSHIELD.INI file.
/SUB On-demand
scanning only
Scans subdirectories inside a directory.
• By default, when you specify a directory to scan
rather than a drive, the scanner will examine
only the files it contains, not its subdirectories.
• Use /SUB to scan all subdirectories within any
directories you have specified.
• It is not necessary to use /SUB if you are
scanning an entire drive.
/UNZIP On-demand
scanning only
Extended
memory
required
Scan inside compressed files.
