Can anyone explain Kaspersky's CLS scanner switch syntax ! ...please :-)
(...Sophos CLS switches are so straightforward in comparison !)
KAV is so ambiguous I'm half afraid to use it !

...specifically what are the KAV CLS defaults ? ...are all switches on
unless used with a "-" (minus) to invert them,
...and does that inversion switch something on or off, because at the end of
the help screen it says,
"for all options '-' inverts the default meaning."

....well that's fine if one could deduce what the default settings are !

e.g.
The help screen ( kavdos32 /? ) shows switches in this format e.g. :-

/B[-] skip dos boot sector test

...is it the case that I've got to use the /B switch to skip the test, or is
it going to get done anyway - because I haven't used the /B switch,
conversely, have I got to use /B- to make sure it does get done - if I want
it done, ...if you see what I mean !

I'm guessing that DH Lipmans KAV CLS switches selection in his multi-av /
Windows Command Console "application" :-
/- /E /* /MD /MP /Y /Z- /W+=ScanReport.txt
means that /Z-
="Disable Aborting" is switched off ?
...without the minus it's ON ?
...what's the default is the /Z switch is not used ?

TIA

regards, Richard
