Disinfection of an infected system

  • Wait for the scan and disinfection to finish. A reboot might require after disinfection.

If started without switches, the tool will:

  • Scan and disinfection of files on all hard disk drives.
  • While scanning hard disk drives, the tool will also perform a check of executable files of all running processes every 10 seconds.
  • Terminate detected infected processes and disinfect infected files.

Optional switches to run the tool from command prompt:

  • -l - write log to the file.
  • -v - detailed logging (must be used in combination with the parameter -l).
  • -s ;- scan in "silent" mode (without opening console box).
  • -y - when the utility finishes, its window will be closed.
  • -p – scan a specific folder.
  • -r - scan removable drives (flash), external USB and FireWire hard disks.
  • -n - scan network drives.
