  • 1.  DoScan.exe is not scanning

    Posted Jul 22, 2018 01:19 PM

    Hi all,

    I am trying to run DoScan.exe in this location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\14.0.1904.0000.105\Bin" from command prompt.

    This is the command: Doscan.exe /ScanFile "D:\Codehub_Steps.txt"

    But once i hit enter, the cursor moves to next line and thats all, and it stays there. No termination of command and no log file created, nothing.

    I manually searched for the log file in "C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\14.0.1904.0000.105\Data\Logs\AV" location too. But i can't find anything. The file size is 1kb only.

    Some other commands like "Doscan.exe /h", "Doscan.exe /L" are working but only when i try to run scan its not working.

    Kindly advice.

    /ScanFile "<file name>" - Scans the specified file with default scan options. Multiple files can be specified with multiple /ScanFile switches.

                For example: / ScanFile "%WinDir%\notepad.exe" /ScanFile "C:\Test"
