McAfee VirusScan Home Edition
M SCANPM.EXE, a scanner for 16-bit and 32-bit environments. This
scanner provides you with a full set of scanning options for 16-bit
and 32-bit protected-mode DOS environments. It also includes
support for extended memory and flexible memory allocations.
SCAN.EXE will transfer control to this scanner when its specialized
capabilities can enable your scan operation to run more efficiently.
M SCAN86.EXE, a scanner for 16-bit environments only. This scanner
includes a limited set of capabilities geared to 16-bit environments.
SCAN.EXE will transfer control to this scanner if your computer is
running in 16-bit mode, but without special memory
configurations.
M BOOTSCAN.EXE, a smaller, specialized scanner for use primarily
with the Emergency Disk utility. This scanner ordinarily runs from
a floppy disk you create to provide you with a virus-free boot
environment.
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.
