McAfee VirusScan Home Edition

MSCANPM.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.

MSCAN86.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.

MBOOTSCAN.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.
