About VirusScan Software
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.
