Options | Description |
-ai | Enable neural-network virus detection. The -ai option should not be used with the -noheur option. |
-archive | Scan inside supported archives. Supported archives are .zip, .cab, .tar, .gz, .izh and .arj files. Currently F-Prot Antivirus does not support disinfection or removal of infected files within archives. Unix mailboxes are considered to be archives and therefore F-Prot Antivirus is not able to remove infected attachments. |
-auto | Automatically remove detected viruses. As noted above, this will not work on archived files. |
-collect | Scan a virus collection. This option is intended for advanced users. When this option is used it will, e.g. scan for bootsector viruses within files, even though the virus resides within a file instead of a bootsector. |
-delete | Delete infected files. By default this requires user confirmation but if you include the -auto option f-prot will not prompt you for confirmation before deleting infected files. F-Prot Antivirus does not support removal of infected files located within archives. |
-disinf | Disinfect whenever possible. By default this requires user confirmation but if you include the -auto option F-Prot Antivirus will not prompt you for confirmation before disinfecting infected files. F-Prot Antivirus does not support disinfection of infected files located within archives. |
-dumb | Scan all files, regardless of extensions or content. |
-ext | Scan only files with default extensions. |
-follow | Follow symbolic links. This should be used with care, as the program does not detect "circular" directories, and may get stuck in an endless loop. |
-noheur | Disable heuristic scanning. The -noheur option should not be used with the -ai option. |
-nosub | Do not scan subdirectories. |
-onlyheur | Only use heuristics, do not scan for known virus signatures. By using this option F-Prot Antivirus will only detect a fraction of infected files. |
-packed | Unpack compressed executables. |
-rename | Rename extensions of infected files to prevent them from being executed, e.g. renaming file.com to file.vom
and file.exe to file.vxe. This will not prevent files from being executed on Linux because:
|
-type | Select files by type. (default) |
