- + Command line mode
-
- The command-line options
-
- F-PROT.EXE is usually run without any parameters and will then enter
- interactive mode. It is also possible to run it in command-line mode,
- which was the only possibility with version 1.
-
- The available command-line options are
-
- /ALL
- Specifies that all files should be searched, not just normal "executable"
- files.
-
- /ANALYSE
- Performs a heuristic analysis instead of a signature-based scan. This
- approach may cause false positives, and should be used with care.
-
- /APPEND
- Used with /REPORT. Append the report to an existing file.
-
- /AUTO
- May be specified with /DELETE or /DISINF so F-PROT will not request
- permission before deleting or disinfecting. The default if only /DELETE
- or /DISINF are given is to ask if the file should be disinfected (or
- deleted).
-
- /BOOT (default) /NOBOOT
- Scan/Don't scan for boot sector viruses
-
- /COMMAND
- Force command-line mode.
-
- /DELETE
- Delete all infected files, instead of just listing them.
-
- /DISINF
- Disinfect whenever possible - deletes first-generation samples and files
- destroyed by overwriting viruses. It will never delete a file which can
- be disinfected.
-
- /EXT=
- Specify which filename extensions to scan by default, maxcimum of 10,
- separated by "." Example: /EXT=COM.EXE.SYS.DLL.OV?
-
- /FILE (default) /NOFILE
- Scan/Don't scan for file viruses
-
- /HARD
- Scans the entire hard disk.
-
- /HELP or /?
- Display a list of available options.
-
- /INTER
- Force interactive mode.
-
- /LIST
- Produce a report of all files checked, not just those which are infected.
-
- /MULTI
- Scan multiple diskettes.
-
- /NET
- Scans any network "drives" found.
-
- /NOBREAK
- Disables ESC during scanning
-
- /NOMEM
- Skip the memory scan.
-
- /NOWRAP
- Do not wrap text in the report.
-
- /NOSUB
- Do not scan subdirectories.
-
- /OLD
- Do not display the "This version of the program is rather old" message.
-
- /PACKED (default) /NOPACKED
- Search/Don't search inside packed files.
-
- /PAGE
- Pause after each page.
-
- /QUICK
- Faster search, but not as accurate.
-
- /RENAME
- Rename infected files to *.VOM or *.VXE.
-
- /REPORT=file
- Sends the output to a file, in addition to displaying it on the screen.
-
- /SILENT
- Generates no screen output at all - useful if you want to run the program
- from a batch file, and only check the return code.
-
- /TROJAN (default) /NOTROJAN
- Search/Don't search for some Trojans and joke programs as well as viruses.
-
- /USER /NOUSER (default)
- Search/Don't search for user-defined virus patterns. This option should
- only be used if absolutely neccessary, as it may result in a considerable
- speed decrease.
-
- Return status
-
- The program uses the following exit codes, which can be checked with the
- ERRORLEVEL command from a BAT file.
-
- 0 - Normal exit nothing found
- 1 - Abnormal termination - unrecoverable error (usually a missing
- system file)
- 2 - Selftest failed - program has been modified.
- 3 - A Boot/File virus infection found.
- 4 - Virus signatures found in memory.
- 5 - Program terminated with ^C.
- 6 - At least one virus was removed. This code is only meaningful if
- the program is used to scan just a single file.
