Virex: Report Features

This article discusses the report features of Virex 7.x.
The program might take some time to complete a scan, particularly over many directories and files. However, the scanner can keep you informed of its progress, any viruses it finds, and its response to them.

The program displays this information on your screen if you add the --summary or --verbose options to the command line.

The --verbose option tells you which files the program is examining.

When the scan operation finishes, the --summary option identifies the following

How many files scanned.
How many files cleaned.
How many files not scanned.
How many infected files found.

Example

In the report information below, both the --summary and --verbose options have been used when scanning files in the /usr/data directory.

$ ./vscanx --summary -v /usr/data
