8.2. Scan an archive

Next, you could archive or compress the file and run bdscan over it. BitDefender will scan inside the archive.

First, let's use the gzip command to create the compressed file. Of course, you can use several other tools, such as zip, rar, arj and so on.

#gzip -9 EICAR.COM

Now you can run bdscan over this compressed file.

# bdscan EICAR.COM.gz
