Our win32 command-line scanner based on the Panda Engine v1.4.3 is still undergoing QA testing but we're releasing it here first for research purposes. Some of the new functionalities included are support of Vista platforms, Office12, SIS, MMS formats, low-level rootkit detection and more. Check out the specs of the
Panda Engine v1.4.3 for more info.
The current Panda Antivirus Command-Line (aka PAVCL) is version 9.4.3.10 and can be downloaded from
here. There's also a linux scanner available in (EDIT LINK)
rpm and (EDIT LINK)
tgz even though that is still based on a previous version of the engine. As soon as we're done integrating 1.4.3 into linux I'll post it here.
It's basic syntax is:
pavcl.exe [parameter] [what to scan]Simply run "pavcl.exe" to get a complete listing of the available parameters. Some of the most interesting and commonly used ones are the following:
-nob
| Do not scan boot sector
|
-del
| Delete infected files
|
-cmp
| Seach for viruses in compressed files
|
-clv
| Disinfect viruses found
|
-heu:1
| Activates heuristic high sensibility

-nbr
| Does not allow Ctrl-C breaking of the program
|
-nos

|
-rpt:path
| Create a report file
|
-aex
| Scan all extensions
|
-mem

|
-nomem

Some typical examples:
pavcl -cmp -aex -clv c:\windows
pavcl -cmp -aex -nob -nos -heu:1 -nomem "c:\utilities\downloads from internet"
