- CSAVOS2C.EXE FOR OS/2(R)
- USER'S GUIDE
-
- CSAVOS2C.EXE is an operating system-specific command-line scanner
- that is included with Command AntiVirus for OS/2. It provides the
- same up-to-the-minute and state-of-the-art protection as our
- graphical user interface and on-access scanners.
-
- Our HoloCheck(tm) scanning technology provides the most up-to-date
- virus prevention. The most important benefits of this technology are:
-
- * Simplified updates. You can now update the SIGN.DEF and
- Macro.def files (which contain the most current virus signatures)
- without reinstalling all of the components. This method adds
- speed and efficiency to the new version of Command AntiVirus.
- * Superior polymorphic virus detection. CSAV now offers
- unparalleled protection and elimination of polymorphic viruses
- including the dreaded Morphine, Anxiety and Spanska.
- * Scanning of embedded (OLE) documents. Not only do we scan
- documents, but if an infected document is embedded in an Excel
- spreadsheet or PowerPoint document, Command AntiVirus will catch
- it and save you from becoming infected.
- * Support for nested zip files. New virus signatures have been added
- in this release.
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- CSAVOS2C.EXE requires a 386 or higher CPU and OS/2 2.X or higher.
- It is a 32-bit OS/2-specific program that will not run under
- Windows. We provide a separate Windows version if you need to scan
- Windows programs.
-
- All program components install into a single directory and will not
- operate correctly if any of them are moved.
-

- Records (MBR) and all boot sectors associated with them.
-
- USING CSAVOS2C.EXE
- CSAVOS2C.EXE must be run from an OS/2 Command Prompt. To access the
- OS/2 Command Prompt, open Command Prompts from OS/2 System. Then,
- select either OS/2 Full Screen or OS/2 Window.
-
- Syntax for command-line mode: CSAVOS2C.EXE [options] {path}+
-
- path is one of the following:
- drive:\path, path
-
- In the above syntax, {path}+ means one or more paths.
-
- CSAVOS2C.EXE /VIRLIST
-
- If you do not provide an option, CSAVOS2C.EXE displays a help screen
- and exits.
-
- Examples:
- csavos2c c:\
- csavos2c /list c:\mydir
- csavos2c /paranoid q:\footest /type
- csavos2c /virlist
- csavos2c /list c:\
- csavos2c /list /report=myrep.txt c:\mydir
-
- If entered as follows it will not work:
- csavos2c /virlist c:
-
- The following files are scanned by default unless /TYPE is selected:
- EXE, COM, SYS, VXD, DLL, DRV, 386, XL?, DO?, OV?, CPL, FON, TSK,
- ACM, ACV, TLB, TSP, TSK, OCX, VBX, SCR, and RTF.
-
- COMMAND-LINE SWITCHES
- Switch Description
- /ALL Scans all files regardless of their extension.
- This is not recommended.
-
- /APPEND Adds to the existing report file. This switch allows
- you to have an extended report of what was scanned.
- If you use the /LIST command, this report could become
- very large so you will need to clear it frequently.
- /APPEND must be used with the /REPORT switch.
-
- /ARCHIVE Scans inside .ZIP and .ARJ files.
-
- /DISINF Disinfects whenever possible - deletes first-generation
- samples and files destroyed by overwriting viruses.
- It will never delete a file that can be disinfected.
-
- /HARD Scans all local hard drive(s).
-
- /HELP Displays a list of available switches with a brief
- description. The /? switch can also be used.
-
- /LIST Produces a report of all objects being scanned not
- just those that are infected.
-
- /NOBOOT Does not scan boot sectors.
-
- /NOBREAK Does not allow the scan to be cancelled if the Ctrl +
- Break keys are pressed.
-
- /NOFILE Does not scan files. This is used to scan only boot
- sectors.
-
- /NOHEUR Disables heuristic scanning.
-
- /NOSUB Does not scan subdirectories.
-
- /PACKED Unpacks compressed executable files.
-
- /PARANOID Increases the chances of picking up new viruses but
- will significantly increase the risk of false
- positives. Only recommended for use by experienced,
- technical-minded users. Please keep in mind that we
- are not interested in receiving samples of possible
- false alarms that are only produced when this switch
- is used.
-
- /REMOVEALL Remove all macros from all documents.
-
- /REMOVENEW Remove new variants of macro viruses by removing all
- macros from infected documents.
-
- /RENAME Rename infected COM/EXE files to VOM/VXE.
-
- /REPORT=<file> Reports all infected objects in the file that is in
- braces, <filename>. Use with the /LIST command to
- have a full list of files scanned.
-
- /SAFEREMOVE Remove all macros from documents, if a known
- virus is found.
-
- /SILENT Does not generate any screen output.
-
- /TODAY Performs a scan only once a day.
-
- /TYPE Scans Word and Excel files.
-
