Anti-virus scans
The syntax for starting a virus scan of a certain area, and processing malicious
objects, from the command prompt generally looks as follows:
avp.com SCAN [<object scanned>] [<action>] [<file
types>] [<exclusions>] [<configuration file>] [<re-
port settings>] [<advanced settings>]
To scan objects, you can also start one of the tasks created in Kaspersky Anti-
Virus from the command prompt (see 16.1 on pg. 195). The task will be run with
the settings specified in the program interface.
