Well I keep one at http://research.pandasoftware.com/blogs/images/pav.zip but I only update it every now and then. If you're looking for a full subscription with daily updates, tech support and such, I recommend you visit our main website.

Pedro, when running it from a folder named c:\pavcl32 with the cmd line you suggested it scans the memory and then exits. If I run it from a folder that has spaces and swedish characters in the name it won't run at all, it just exits to the cmd line. The DOS version of pavcl runs just fine. Using WinXP SP2.

Using  the -mem switch will only scan objects loaded in memory (no files). Use the following to scan files on disk: pavcl.exe -aex -cmp -nob -heu:1 c:\path

Go ahead and send me the swedish path you're using to pbustamante [at] pandasoftware.com

how do i scan only a folder and the files inside it sample C:\Documents and Settings\PC\My Documents tell me the parameters with a sample

   Posted by jon at 6 March 07 1:43 AM

The following will do it:

pavcl -nob -nos -cmp -aex -no2 -heu:1 "C:\Documents and Settings\PC\My Documents"

Remember to enclose paths with spaces within quotes. For clarification:

-nob: do not scan boot sector

-nos: deactivate sounds

-cmp: scan compressed files

-aex: scan all extensions

-no2: only detect, don't disinfect

-heu:1 high heuristic settings

Optionally you might not want to use the -no2 parameter if you want to clean the infected files it finds.

On one of the comments above there's a link to sig updates, but only for testing purposes. For commercial products with regular release sigs visit our main website (www.pandasoftware.com).

Regarding the difference in sigs between the file-based sig and NanoScan/TotalScan sigs, there's no short answer. I'll be writing a paper detailing what we call "Collective Intelligence" and how it allows us to detect much more than with traditional AV technologies. In the meantime I suggest reading the NanoScan FAQs for some insight.

Lucass, somehow I lost your comment, but it's not an error with pavcl. You need to enclose path names with spaces in quotes, such as

pavcl -cmp -aex "c:\this is a directory"

This is common with pretty much all cmd applications.

No problem for my post. Thanks for your clarification, much appreciated Regards PS:When release a new(stable) version of platinum 2007? the new version of command line scanner is available in beta version?

   Posted by lucass at 1 April 07 11:54 PM

For Panda Internet Security 2007 version 11.01.80 which is also Vista compatible check out www.pandasoftware.com/beta. Regarding the new command-line scanner based on the 1.4.3 engine I will probably release it here tomorrow.

Hello Jon. We're building totalscan.com to be the new activescan on steroids. I suggest you use totalscan from now on.
