To scan only files smaller than 4
MB
and to ignore compressed executables created with
LZEXE or PkLite in three separate directories, type the command:
SCAN /LOAD C:\TASKS\CONFIG2.TXT /CHECKLIST C:\CHECKS\CHECK1.TXT
The contents of the task file
C:\TASKS\CONFIG2.TXT
are:
/NOCOMP

The contents of the checklist file
C:\CHECKS\CHECK1.TXT
are:
C:\WINDOWS
C:\BIN
C:\PERL
Creating a list of infected files
Although a summary report can be useful, you can also create a simple list that contains
only the names of the infected files. You can create and control this list using the
options,
/BADLIST
,
/APPENDBAD
, and
/CHECKLIST
.
For example, the following command scans the directory
DIR1
and all its
subdirectories, and produces information on-screen:
SCAN C:\DIR1\*.* /SUB
To produce a simple list of infected files, you can add the
/BADLIST
option:
SCAN C:\DIR1\*.* /SUB /BADLIST BAD1.TXT
The contents of
BAD1.TXT
might look like this list:
C:\DIR1\GAMES\HOTGAME.EXE ... Found Acid.674 virus!
C:\DIR1\SCANTEST\VTEST.COM ... Found: EICAR test file NOT a virus.
You can add to the list of infected files by using the
/APPENDBAD
option. For example,
the following command scans the directory
DIR2
, and any infected files found here are
added to the existing list:
SCAN C:\DIR2\*.* /SUB /BADLIST BAD1.TXT /APPENDBAD
Then, the contents of
BAD1.TXT
might look like this:
C:\DIR1\GAMES\HOTGAME.EXE ... Found Acid.674 virus!
C:\DIR1\SCANTEST\VTEST.COM ... Found: EICAR test file NOT a virus.
C:\DIR2\PRICES.DOC ... Found: virus or variant W97M/Concept!
C:\DIR2\COSTS\MAY2005.DOC ... Found the W97M/Ethan virus!
Using the
/CHECKLIST
option, you can refer to that list, and scan the same files again
later:
SCAN /CHECKLIST BAD1.TXT
