Guest RJK Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Can anyone explain Kaspersky's CLS scanner switch syntax ! ...please :-) (...Sophos CLS switches are so straightforward in comparison !) KAV is so ambiguous I'm half afraid to use it ! ....specifically what are the KAV CLS defaults ? ...are all switches on unless used with a "-" (minus) to invert them, ....and does that inversion switch something on or off, because at the end of the help screen it says, "for all options '-' inverts the default meaning." .....well that's fine if one could deduce what the default settings are ! e.g. The help screen ( kavdos32 /? ) shows switches in this format e.g. :- /B[-] skip dos boot sector test ....is it the case that I've got to use the /B switch to skip the test, or is it going to get done anyway - because I haven't used the /B switch, conversely, have I got to use /B- to make sure it does get done - if I want it done, ...if you see what I mean ! I'm guessing that DH Lipmans KAV CLS switches selection in his multi-av / Windows Command Console "application" :- /- /E / /MD /MP /Y /Z- /W+=ScanReport.txt means that /Z- ="Disable Aborting" is switched off ? ....without the minus it's ON ? ....what's the default is the /Z switch is not used ?

Guest RJK Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Hi Dave I haven't contacted Kaspersky. Recently have had no time to spend on knocking up a batch file to run Command line Scanners, similar to David H Lipmans Multi-AV command console application. I will be experimenting on a spare computer - to get those CLS's running with the switch sttings I prefer - within the next few weeks. regards, Richard "BoaterDave" <BoaterDave@nospam.invalid> wrote in message news:ufp2BGOSIHA.5264@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...<span style="color:blue"> > Hi Richard > > Did you receive an answer from Kaspersky - satisfactory or otherwise? > > Dave > > "RJK" <notatospam@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:%23yLCnrCLIHA.2432@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...<span style="color:green"> >> oooh, well I posted more or less the same question in there. >> I've got a spare machine atm, I can play with KAV32.exe's /switches on >> that, and also play with a BartPE bootable cd which seems always to >> result in a destroyed PC ! >> >> regards, Richard >> >> "RJK" <notatospam@hotmail.com> wrote in message >> news:ezR8SRCLIHA.1208@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...<span style="color:darkred"> >>> Big thanks Dave >>> >>> regards, Richard >>> >>> >>> "BoaterDave" <BoaterDave@hotmail.co.uk> wrote in message >>> news:66c11390-be53-428a-9766-74b392316d28@i37g2000hsd.googlegroups.com... >>>> See my answer below. >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> On Nov 20, 10:00 pm, "RJK" <notatos...@hotmail.com> wrote: >>>>> Can anyone explain Kaspersky's CLS scanner switch syntax ! ...please >>>>> :-) >>>>> (...Sophos CLS switches are so straightforward in comparison !) >>>>> KAV is so ambiguous I'm half afraid to use it ! >>>>> >>>>> ...specifically what are the KAV CLS defaults ? ...are all switches >>>>> on >>>>> unless used with a "-" (minus) to invert them, >>>>> ...and does that inversion switch something on or off, because at the >>>>> end of >>>>> the help screen it says, >>>>> "for all options '-' inverts the default meaning." >>>>> >>>>> ....well that's fine if one could deduce what the default settings are >>>>> ! >>>>> >>>>> e.g. >>>>> The help screen ( kavdos32 /? ) shows switches in this format e.g. >>>>> :- >>>>> >>>>> /B[-] skip dos boot sector test >>>>> >>>>> ...is it the case that I've got to use the /B switch to skip the test, >>>>> or is >>>>> it going to get done anyway - because I haven't used the /B switch, >>>>> conversely, have I got to use /B- to make sure it does get done - if I >>>>> want >>>>> it done, ...if you see what I mean ! >>>>> >>>>> I'm guessing that DH Lipmans KAV CLS switches selection in his >>>>> multi-av / >>>>> Windows Command Console "application" :- >>>>> /- /E / /MD /MP /Y /Z- /W+=ScanReport.txt >>>>> means that /Z- >>>>> ="Disable Aborting" is switched off ? >>>>> ...without the minus it's ON ? >>>>> ...what's the default is the /Z switch is not used ? >>>>> >>>>> TIA >>>>> >>>>> regards, Richard >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> Hello Richard. >>>> >>>> May I suggest that you post your query here:- >>>> http://forum.kaspersky.com/ >>>> >>>> I am a user of Kaspersky and have found that the the forum gives very >>>> helpful answers. >>>> >>>> Dave >>> >>></span> >> >> >></span> > > </span> Quote

Guest ~BD~ Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Many thanks for your swift response, Kalyan. It prompted my memory bank into action! I am currently using Kaspersky AV7 and have always used what - I think - you mean by graphical shell. I was totally unaware that it could be run in any other way! Perhaps I'll experiment the next time it's a rainy day!

Guest Heather Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Do they not have night school in the UK where you can go and learn about computers??

The Commodore +four user port was a good feature for computer enthusiasts (back when computers were more than just communication devices) to experiment with. These days if something doesn't "just work" when you turn it on - most people can't figure out how to use it. Back then it seemed like nothing worked until you made it work - and that was the real value. Quote

The Editor and Chief of PCTipp is an aquaintance of mine and she asked if PCTipp could host my Multi AV after Butts pulled his fraud. As she put it... "Butts versus the world's largest IT publishing house? Come on ;-)" PCTipp is a division IDG Communications [iDG International Data Group]. It may not be an anti malware organization but it is a well respected and trusted information technology publisher. The only problem as I see it is that the site is in Swiss-German.
