McAfee VirusScan
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.

What’s new with VirusScan?
This VirusScan release introduces a number of innovative new features to the
product’s core functionality, to its range of coverage, and to the details of its
application architecture. The single most significant change between previous
VirusScan versions and this release, however, is the integration of two
separate VirusScan versions optimized to run on separate Windows platforms
into a single product that runs on both. This single product also takes full
advantage of each platform’s strengths.

Installation and distribution features
McAfee anti-virus products, including VirusScan software, now use the
Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI), which comes with all Windows 2000
Professional systems. This Setup utility offers a wealth of custom installation
and configuration features that make VirusScan software rollout across large
organizations much easier and more intuitive.

Interface enhancements
This release moves the VirusScan interface for all supported platforms solidly
into the territory VirusScan anti-virus software for Windows 95, Windows 98
and Windows ME pioneered with its v4.0.1 release. This adds extensive
VShield scanner configuration options for the Windows NT Workstation v4.0
and Windows 2000 Professional platforms, while reducing the complexity of
some previous configuration options. Alert Manager server configuration, for
example, moves entirely over to the NetShield product line—VirusScan
software now acts strictly as a configurable client application.

This release also adds a new VirusScan control panel, which functions as a
central point from which you can enable and disable all VirusScan
components. This control panel also lets you set a ceiling for the number of
items you can scan in or exclude from a single operation, and can set the
VShield scanner and VirusScan control panel to run at startup. Other changes
include:
