BD Free Command Line?
I got Bitdefender Free on my device. There is a right-click option for scanning individual files.
I would like to know if this is possible to do through cmd. There are a lot of executables and no console like on endpoint.
Further: I discovered the issue by accident; sometimes I use FreeDownloadManager for larger files and there is an option to link your AV and automatically scan the files you dl, which I always do. Yet, I do not know how to set this up by command. There's the link to the executable and a parameter manipulation box with %path% resembling the path of the freshly downloaded file.
Does anyone know how to do this with Free, as I'd also quite like to do some batchfiles to regularly scan specified locations from a simple desktop shortcut.

@Flexx First and foremost thanks for the kind advice.
Sadly, it is not working for me as intended.
In my program files, "bdc" does not exist, however, "bitdefenderci" does exist, which I interpreted as "Command-Line Interface", yet, I might be wrong
Giving any input or trying to access explanatory parameters results in an empty console tho. So I am still not totally sure where to look.
