– base‑dir = FOLDER load modules from FOLDER
– quar‑dir = FOLDER quarantine FOLDER
– aind show activity indicator
Targets:
– files scan files (default)
– no‑files do not scan files
– boots scan boot sectors (default)
– no‑boots do not scan boot sectors
– arch scan archives (default)
– no‑arch do not scan archives
– max‑archive‑level = LEVEL maximum archive nesting LEVEL
– scan‑timeout = LIMIT scan archives for LIMIT seconds at
maximum. If the scanning time reaches this limit, the
scanning of the archive is stopped and the scan will
continue with the next file
– max‑arch‑size=SIZE scan only the first SIZE bytes in
archives (default 0 = unlimited)
– mail scan email files
– no‑mail do not scan email files
– sfx scan self‑extracting archives

– rtp scan runtime packers
– no‑rtp do not scan runtime packers
– exclude = FOLDER exclude FOLDER from scanning
– subdir scan subfolders (default)
– no‑subdir do not scan subfolders
– max‑subdir‑level = LEVEL maximum subfolder nesting LEVEL
(default 0 = unlimited)
– symlink follow symbolic links (default)
– no‑symlink skip symbolic links
– ext‑remove = EXTENSIONS
– ext‑exclude = EXTENSIONS exclude EXTENSIONS delimited by
colon from scanning
Methods:
– adware scan for Adware/Spyware/Riskware
– no‑adware do not scan for Adware/Spyware/
Riskware
– unsafe scan for potentially unsafe
applications
– no‑unsafe do not scan for potentially unsafe
applications
– unwanted scan for potentially unwanted
applications
– no‑unwanted do not scan for potentially unwanted
applications
– pattern use signatures
– no‑pattern do not use signatures
– heur enable heuristics
– no‑heur disable heuristics
– adv‑heur enable Advanced heuristics
– no‑adv‑heur disable Advanced heuristics
Cleaning:
– action = ACTION perform ACTION on infected objects.
Available actions:
none, clean, prompt
– quarantine copy infected files to Quarantine
(supplements ACTION)
– no‑quarantine do not copy infected files to
Quarantine
Logs:
– log‑file=FILE log output to FILE
– log‑rewrite overwrite output file
(default – append)
– log‑all log also clean files
– no‑log‑all do not log clean files (default)
The possible exit codes of the scan:
0 – no threat found
1 – threat found but not cleaned
10 – some infected files remained
101 – archive error
102 – access error
103 – internal error
NOTE:
Exit codes greater than 100 mean that the file was not scanned and
thus can be infected.
