What To Use For An Automatic Attachment Scan?

toalice

I'm using an old utility called ExLife. It's an add-on for Outlook. One of it's features is to set up a rule to move attachments to an email to a specific folder and then have it scanned by AV software. It's good for double checking for any attachment problems. I was able to use this before with McAfee and Kaspersky by just entering the path to the their scan engines. The rule would automatically open the scan engine, scan the file, give a report and then close.

I can't seem to figure out what to use in the BitDefender 2008 folder. Would it be uiscan.exe? Here is the Arguments line: C:\Attachments" /autoscan /nosplash /autoexit <FILE>

TIA for any suggestions.

P.S. I know this is redundant as BD 2008 scans the incoming email but I would like to have the double scan option.

Hello Desertrider,

Unfortunately, you have no way of doing this.

But, as you said, it is redundant, because the Realtime Protection scans the files when you download them and also when you save them, and also when you try to open them. So, basically, there are 3 scans made each time.

If you want to be sure, just manually scan an attachment before opening it (right click on it, and select BitDefender Antivirus 2008, or just drag and drop the file over the BitDefender Scan Activity Bar).
