Adaware Command Line Scanner

If one was to tell you that the need for a complex antivirus is not entirely true and that you could manage to conduct all the know AV tasks from a CMD Window, wouldn't you think that's exaggerated? Regardless of your answer, that actually can happen if you decide to use Adaware Command Line Scanner, an application that is capable of protecting your computer just like any antivirus while not having a user interface. It can only be run through CMD.

Before worrying about the difficulty of usage, you must understand that running apps from a Commandline window isn't really rocket science. On the contrary, if you have some experience with the app itself, you'll find that running an AV program from it is just as easy. In fact, you'll have to change the path in the CMD prompt to that of the antivirus, launch the .EXE file from within, and you're basically set.

The application will display within the CMD window a series of commands that can be executed. Before anything else, make sure you run the "--boot" command. It will initialize the scanning modules. Once that's out of the way, you can execute quick scans, update definitions, do a custom or full scan, quarantine infected files, delete them, or simply check scan results or product info. As you've probably noticed, you get all the perks of a full-fledged antivirus program. You won't be missing anything.

The biggest advantage is how little resources this program will use when compared to any other conventional AV software. It's also quick in action, clear in the results it displays, and thorough in all types of scans. This means you won't have to fear for the life of your PC. It will protect your assets without bothering or hindering you.
