McAfee Command Line Scanners and VirusScan for UNIX
packed file. McAfee command line scanners are able to drill
down into multiple layers of compression to seek out the
hidden threat within.
The threat isn’t confined just to common archive utilities like
WinZip. Windows applications can be packed to reduce the
size of the program. Such packers may be used legitimately,
so they can’t all simply be branded as a potential threat.
However, many of today’s Trojans arrive in packed format, so
McAfee command line scanner’s ability to identify hostile
code within the packing is essential.
Maintain Business Continuity
The McAfee command line scanners make full use of the
scan engine’s ability to clean infected files. This is very
important. If a scanner simply flags an infection, the system
administrator must replace the file—either from an original
master disk or CD (in the case of EXE files) or from a backup
(for documents and spreadsheets)—if a backup even exists.
If the scanner is able to clean the infected file, business
continuity is maintained, downtime is minimized, and costs
are reduced.
Key Features
• 32-bit command line scanner for Windows environments
• 32-bit command line scanners for a range of UNIX
environments—AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, Linux v2.x kernels,
SCO UNIX, and Solaris (SPARC)
• Comprehensive detection for today’s and tomorrow’s
threats
• Detects viruses, e-mail worms, Internet worms, DDoS
attacks, backdoor and remote access Trojans, and
zombies
• Uses heuristic analysis to flag new threats, without a
false-alarm problem
• Includes generic detection and cleaning for new variants
of existing threats
• Scans compressed, archived, and packed files
• Maintains business continuity by cleaning infected files

to install VirusScan for UNIX software and perform on-demand
scan operations on your file system.
* McAfee does not recommend the use of VirusScan for UNIX in conjunction with any Linux development kernel (v2.1.x and 2.3.x). These kernels are built for testing purposes only and
are not supplied with any major Linux distribution.
** The use of VirusScan for UNIX with SCO OpenServer requires installation of the SCO UnixWare Binary Compatibility Module (BCM).
