The threat isn’t confined just to com-
mon archive utilities like WinZip.
Windows applications can be packed
to reduce the size of the program.
Such packers may be used legitimately,
so they can’t all simply be branded as
a potential threat. However, many of
today’s Trojans arrive in packed format,
so the McAfee command line scanner’s
ability to identify hostile code within
the packing is essential.

Maintain Business Continuity

McAfee’s command line scanners make
full use of the scan engine’s ability to
clean infected files. This is very impor-
tant. If a scanner simply flags an infec-
tion, the system administrator must
replace the file—either from an original
master disk or CD (in the case of EXE
files) or from a backup (for documents
and spreadsheets)—if a backup even
exists. If the scanner is able to clean
the infected file, business continuity is
maintained, down-time is minimized,
and costs are reduced.
