Mcafee Virusscan Command Line Scanner 6.0

If you're updating it everyday then i think should find a way to incremental update instead.smaller than you download the full blown whole av-dat which may need you to download 8+mb everydayto be honest i;m not sure how incremental DAT works.or another methodif you having local computer with updated DAT normally reside on C:Program FilesCommon FilesMcAfeeEnginemaybe you can just shared the DAT location and you can copied over to you command line server.Simple script can be writen to copy over right? Thanks Rob/ Obelicks,this seems to be the answer.As to why I am using Command Line Scanner on a windows box - I use it for our mail filtering software.Currently I am not running VirusScan 8.7 on the mail gateway as during my testing it stopped mail flow, so I need to find out what settings I need to tweak on VirusScan to ensure it doesnt affect mail flow - I havent gotten around to doing this yet.I will work on getting the On-Access Scanner working and then schedule a copy of the files each day.Thanks!Message was edited by: gravey80 on 6/10/10 6:43:40 PM. When scanning with the VirusScan Command Line Scanner ( scan.exe for Windows, or uvscan for Unix), the scan can be delayed for 5 to 10 seconds every time a new scan is launched.NOTE: This delay only occurs at the beginning of the scan and does not affect the scan times of files. As with previous versions of the scanner, individual files require a few milliseconds per file scanned. When scanning multiple files, this delay is only seen when the scan is being initialized and not throughout the entire scan.This initialization delay means that using the VirusScan Command Line Scanner for multiple consecutive scans of individual files might take longer than expected. As a workaround, you can speed up the scan time by pre-processing the V2 DATs with the DECOMPRESS switch. To do this:.

In Windows, extract the AVVDat files to the install folder then type scan.exe /decompress and press ENTER. In Unix, extract the AVVDat files to the install folder then type uvscan -decompress and press ENTERThis extracts and rewrite the AVVDat files so that the initialization times for a scan will be improved.NOTE: You must do this decompression after each DAT update.Hopefully this will help improve otherwise bad performance when scanning email messages individually.Let us know if this helps.Ron Metzger.

Hi Guys,thanks for the useful information. I have already been running the /decompress switch after I have been updating the DATS and have also give the scanner more cache when decompressing archive files using the /AFC switch, to mitigate the performance issues.

I have been using this for a month or two now and all seems fine. We only send and receive about 500 messages per day, so this seems fine for our needs so far.I have now installed VirusScan 8.7 (disabling the mass mailer policy) and have scheduled a job to copy the DATS daily and then decompress them, which works very well.Thanks again for all your input, it is much appreciated.
