(You can find more information on Word viruses at. It is possible to infect documents with a virus-the most common being the Concept virus-executed as a macro. Microsoft Word users recently discovered the cons of auto-loading macros. While I would like to see an integrated scheduler, this approach worked fine. This figure will drop some if you're using SCSI disks.Īlthough this program doesn't include a built-in scheduler interface, you can easily use NT's Scheduler service to launch ViruScan at preset times. When I checked ViruScan with NT's Performance Monitor, I found a 25% to 30% hit when using IDE disks. Setting it to scan all files took approximately 27 minutes. ViruScan plowed through all the executable files on a 2GB drive in roughly three minutes. Thus, the process of cleaning infected files is more convenient, because ViruScan can now clean files on the fly. Unlike the McAfee tools of the past, the Clean module is now integrated with ViruScan, rather than being packaged separately. I threw the same set of viruses that I used for NAV at ViruScan all the infected files were detected and cleaned. When used, the log file is a plain text file that you can view with any basic text editor. One potential drawback to ViruScan is that it doesn't automatically log activity to file you have to specify a command parameter to get activity logging. If you will use this program often, creating a batch file containing regularly used parameters may be worthwhile. This capability may be slightly confusing, however, because ViruScan has about 40 parameters. Command parameters let you customize all aspects of its execution-from adding and verifying Checksum validation codes to file exclusion lists. ViruScan's power lies in its flexibility. The most conspicuous addition to this build of ViruScan is NTFS volume support, which makes the native version of ViruScan for NT the only choice for NT users. It shares the same commands as the other releases. If you're familiar with any other version of ViruScan, you'll be right at home with the NT version. But what ViruScan lacks in cosmetics, it more than makes up for in speed. Without a GUI, however, it's not as flashy as the applications you're used to these days. As a console app, ViruScan can run discreetly as part of a script or batch operation. The first thing you'll notice about ViruScan is that it's a console application that is, it runs in character mode (see screen 3). Because the application is fairly small (a little over 1MB in this release), that requirement shouldn't be a problem.

ViruScan is a standalone product it has no option for network support, so you must install a copy on each machine on your network. However, ViruScan doesn't create a program group, nor does it insert its directory into the path, so you have to add it manually. All files are in a single directory, so you can easily uninstall the application by deleting the directory.
