8 McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 7.0
n Wireless device protection. In addition to total anti-virus protection for
your PC, VirusScan protects your wireless device and PC from harmful
viruses transferred during the synchronization process.
n Command-line Scanners. This component consists of a set of
full-featured scanners you can use to run targeted scan operations from
the MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt windows, or from protected
MS-DOS mode. The set includes:
M SCAN.EXE, a scanner for 32-bit environments only. This is the
primary command-line interface. When you run this file, it first
checks its environment to see whether it can run by itself. If your
computer is running in 16-bit or protected mode, it will transfer
control to one of the other scanners.
M SCANPM.EXE, a scanner for 16-bit and 32-bit environments. This
scanner provides you with a full set of scanning options for 16-bit
and 32-bit protected-mode DOS environments. It also includes
support for extended memory and flexible memory allocations.
SCAN.EXE will transfer control to this scanner when its specialized
capabilities can enable your scan operation to run more efficiently.
M SCAN86.EXE, a scanner for 16-bit environments only. This scanner
includes a limited set of capabilities geared to 16-bit environments.
SCAN.EXE will transfer control to this scanner if your computer is
running in 16-bit mode, but without special memory
configurations.
M BOOTSCAN.EXE, a smaller, specialized scanner for use primarily
with the Emergency Disk utility. This scanner ordinarily runs from
a floppy disk you create to provide you with a virus-free boot
environment.
All of the command-line scanners allow you to initiate targeted scan
operations from an MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt window, or
from protected MS-DOS mode. Ordinarily, you'll use the VirusScan
application's graphical user interface (GUI) to perform most scanning
operations, but if you have trouble starting Windows or if the VirusScan
GUI components will not run in your environment, you can use the
command-line scanners as a backup.
