Bdlite Command Line Parameters?

hankn

I want to use bdlite to do a manual scan. I have found some parms like:

/warn

/log

/all

/mail

and I have reviewed:

http://kb.bitdefender.com/KB151-en--How-to...and-Prompt.html

but I am looking for a complete list of parameters and their meaning.

For example, when I do /LOG, I get a log file but if I scan a disk of 10,000

files - I get a 10,000 line file which states OK next to each file. I want only the

infected files listed.

Any help?

Hello hankn,

bdlite is a module that existed in BD versions pre-v10 (v10 included), and was the GUI Manual Scanner. The command prompt scanner, to which that article is referring, is bdc.exe (BitDefender Console), which exists in older versions, as well as in the current 2008 series.

To find out the parameters of bdc, just open Command Prompt (cmd), navigate to where bdc is located, and run it without any parameters. It will display a list of parameters, along with their description.

I don't know how you can find out the parameters for bdlite.exe, because this is a very old version, and I don't have it anymore on my computer. Maybe someone else can help you with them.

Cris.

Thanks Cris! Do you know (or anyone else reading) offhand whether a manual

scan with bdc.exe would have some ability to log to a file just infected files and not

every file with the word OK?

Hi there!

The parameter you`re looking for should be /noclean.

Best regards.

Hi there!

The parameter you`re looking for should be /noclean.

Best regards.

I found bdc.exe in the Common Files directory and see /noclean option. Thanks!

Different question now - if a virus is found will bdc.exe return an error code or is there some

toggle I can use to force bdc to return an error code if a virus is found?

TIA.

BDC will just prompt you for an action if you used the /p or /prompt paramter. Else, it will take an appropriate action according to the infected object.
