Scan Alternate Data Streams (NTFS only)
The syntax of the command follows:
avgscanx /parameter ... e.g. avgscanx /comp for scanning the whole
computer
avgscanx /parameter /parameter .. with multiple parameters these should
be lined in a row and separated by a space and a slash character
if a parameters requires specific value to be provided (e.g. the /scan
parameter that requires information on what are the selected areas of your
computer that are to be scanned, and you have to provide an exact path to
the selected section), the values are divided by commas, for instance:
avgscanx /scan=C:\,D:\
To run the scan press Enter. During scanning you can stop the process by Ctrl+C or
Ctrl+Pause.
11.5. Scan Scheduling
With AVG 8.5 File Server you can run scanning on demand (for instance when you
suspect an infection has been dragged to your computer) or based on a scheduled
plan. It is highly recommended to run the scans based on a schedule: this way you
can make sure your computer is protected from any possibility of getting infected,
and you will not have to worry about if and when to launch the scan.
You should launch the
Scan whole computer
regularly, at least once a week.
However, if possible, launch the scan of your entire computer daily - as set up in the
scan schedule default configuration. If the computer is "always on" then you can
schedule scans out of working hours. If the computer is sometimes switched off, then
schedule scans to occur
on a computer start-up when the task has been missed
.
To create new scan schedules, see the
AVG scanning interface
