Is there a command line tool in CAV?

Does CAV provide a command line tool that can be driven by ZipGenius or other programs?

G'day,

If you look in the C:\PROGRAM FILE\COMODO\COMODO ANTIVIRUS folder,there is an exe called CAVSCONS. This is command line scanner.

Supported switches are

[drive]
[file spec] - * and ? wildcards are supported
/D = Attempt disinfection
/R [filename] = Create report

Example : To scan all powerpoint files on drive D: and create a report called ppoint.txt on the C: drive, the command would be;

cavcons d: *.ppt /R=c:\ppoint.txt

Hope this helps,
Ewen :-)

G'day,

They're not implemented in V2 but the development lead has told me that they will definitiely be implemented and documented in V3 (due for public beta shortly).

Cheers,
Ewen :-)

Looking forward to that. It would be a great enhancement

So this is the only way to call CAVS to scan a file from another program?  It would seem like there would be a way to reproduce the Context Menu option "Scan With Comodo Antivirus".

Hi braum, if you're wondering whether there will be a "Scan with Comodo Antivirus" option in CAVS 3 when it comes out the answer is yes. When exactly that feature will be implemented I don't think Melih is sure yet. He mentioned it may or may not be out in the first beta.

That wasn't entirely what I was wondering.  That's in CAVS 2, so I would hope it's in CAVS 3.  What I was wondering if there was a way to get an external program to perform that exact same action.  I have a download manager that I would like to scan my downloads upon completion.  Using the command line option that is mentiond above is cumbersome, as I need to send the result to a report, that will then be overwritten by the next download, which I need to open to find out the results of the scan. 

In Windows I can right click on a file and select "Scan with Comodo Antivirus" and it opens up Comodo and scans just that file.  I would like to know if there is a way to have other programs call that same action.
