This is a great rescue system that provides an uncompromised environment for virus detection and removal, especially for pesky variants of the FakeAV family.

If it works for your computer I would highly recommend it for emergency virus removal.

Scanner Command Line Options - Press CTRL + ALT + Backspace to get the command line

---

Example:

antivir --scan-mode=smart --heur-macro --heur-level=3 -ren -lang=EN --alltypes [path]

Would scan with smart file extentions with maximum heuristics sensitivity for all types of unwanted software (games, dialers, etc) and display information in english.

Usageis:antivir[options][path[\*.ext]][*.ext]
where options are:
--help .......... display this help text (abbreviation: -h or -?)
--scan-mode=<mode> applies "extlist", "smart" or "all" scan methods:
extlist scans files according to their filename extension,
smart detects which files to scan from their name/content,
all scans all files regardless of their name or content
--allfiles ...... synonymous for --scan-mode=all
--version ....... show version information
--info .......... show list of recognized forms
--update ........ update antivir
--check ......... used with --update to check for updates
--temp=<dir> .... specify the directory for temporary files
--pid-dir=<dir> . specify the directory for PID files
--home-dir=<dir> location of executable, VDF and key files
-C <filename> ... name of configuration file
-s .............. scan subdirectories
--scan-in-archive files in archives will be extracted and scanned
-z .............. synonymous for --scan-in-archive (scan in archives, too)
--archive-max-size=N, --archive-max-recursion=N, --archive-max-ratio=N
anti DoS feature: do not scan archive content which would
exceed the given file size, nesting level or compression
factor limits on extraction (0 means unlimited)
--archive-max-count=N anti DoS feature: do not scan archive content which
has more than N files in a recursion level
--scan-in-mbox .. scan mailbox folders, too (might be time consuming!)
--heur-macro .... enable macro heuristics
--heur-nomacro .. disable macro heuristics
--heur-level=N .. setup heuristics level: 0=off, 1-3=low-high
-nolnk .......... do not follow symbolic links
-onefs .......... do not cross file systems while following links
-noboot ......... do not check any boot records
-nombr .......... do not check any master boot records
-nobreak ........ disable Ctl-C and Ctrl-Break
-nodef ......... do only check the given file types (eg. *.DOC)
-cf<filename> ... activate CRC check and name the database
-cv ............. calculate CRC over the whole file length (default 16k)
-cn ............. insert new files into the database
-cu ............. recalculate CRC values and update the database
-v .............. scan files completely (slower with possible false alerts)
-nopack ......... do not scan inside packed files
-e [-del | -ren] repair concerning files if possible
[-del] non-repairable files will be deleted
[-ren] non-repairable files will be renamed
-ren ............ rename concerning files (*.COM->*.XXX,...)
-del ............ delete concerning files
--moveto=<dir> .. quarantine concerning files
-dmdel .......... delete documents containing suspicious macros
-dmdas .......... delete all macros if one appears to be suspicious
-dmse ........... set exit code to 101 if any macro was found
-r1 ............. just log infections and warnings
-r2 ............. log all scanned paths in addition
-r3 ............. log all scanned files
-r4 ............. select verbose log mode
-rs ............. select single-line alert messages
-rf<filename> ... name of log file
%d = day, %m = month, %y = year (two digits each)
-ra ............. append new log data to existing file
-ro ............. overwrite existing log file
-q .............. quiet mode
-lang[:|=]DE .... use German texts
-lang[:|=]EN .... use English texts
-once ........... run only once a day
-if<dateiname> .. antivir uses the given ini file
--with-<type> ... detect other (non-virus but unwanted) software, too;
type may be e.g. "dial", "joke", "game", etc,
there is a --with-alltypes shortcut
--without-<type> like --with-<type>, but disables this type
--alltypes ...... synonymous for --with-alltypes (obsolete)
--alert-urls=<yes|no> print URL for more detailed information on alerts
--warnings-as-alerts exit with a return code as if a concerning file
had been found when warnings have been issued
--exclude=<file> exclude files or directories from scan
--log-email=<addr> send out scan report by email, too
@<rspfile> ...... read parameters from the file <rspfile>
with each option in a separate line
