ClamWin Free Antivirus :: View topic - Comman Line argument for complete/full scan

Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2009 6:36 am

1. What is command line argument for scanning both memory and all drives(full scan)..?

2. How to perform silent installation through command line without user interfcae?. I have tried the following command,
"c:\Documents and Settings\$USER\Desktop\clamwin-0.88-setup.exe" /sp- /silent /norestart
but it shows some user interface like update database screen.

3. How to perform silent uninstallation through commanline without user interface..?

4. Provide command line support in detail..?

5. Is there any Library support..?

Thanks
Vijay

Some command line commands don't work since version 0.95 came out. It appears that there were some changes in the Clam engine that haven't yet been incorporated in ClamWin. Perhaps someone else has some more information.
