Ikarus Antivirus

Hello. Does anybody know how parameters have got Ikarus Antivirus command line scanner?

 

Hi and welcome ktosiak.

I think these are the more important command line parameters.

Usage: t3scan [Options...] path

Options:
-d // no sub folders
-l [filename] // create logfile
-m <n> // maximum file size MB (default: 64)
-r <n> // maximum recursive depth (default: 3)
-v directory // path to the signature database

Special options:
-displaycrc // CRC32 output
-displayid // signature ID's output
-noarchives // don't unpack archives
-patchvdb filename // incremental VDB update
-usedtime // used time...
-ver // show program version
-vdbver // show version of VDB

Cheers

 

Ok but how start this command line scanner and how to update virus definitions?

 

Hi,

first download the T3 Commandline Scanner (t3scan) form this side:
http://updates.ikarus.at/updates/update.html
Run the downloaded file ikarust3scan.exe, this will extract the files to C:\T3scan (Standard).

Then download the T3 VDB (t3sigs.vdb) from the same site and add the file to the C:\T3scan directory.
The t3sigs.vdb contains the full virus database.
There may be a update version somewhere (because of this "-patchvdb" option), but I never saw this version so far.

Now open the Command Prompt (Windows) and switch to the T3cscan directory with: cd C:\T3scan

To start the T3 Commandline Scanner, use t3scan with selected options, for example:
t3scan -d -l log.txt -noarchives C:\MyNasties\

Cheers

 

Thank you very much for this instructions but why this antivirus when found for example trojans don`t delete them.

 

Hi,

I assume because it's only able to detect malware and has no cleaning ability.
I don't know a parameter to delete infected files, maybe someone else here does.
