Problem description

How do I remove infected content in archive files

Problem solution

The On-demand scanner in will detect and remove malware within archives. You may also use the Command line scanner to remove infected content from archive files.

Example:

nvcc /ald /u /c /cl:2

The various options and a short explanation will be listed if you run nvcc /?

The Command line scanner will use the On-demand scanner configuration setting unless overridden by command line options.

For example will nvcc /L:2 produce a detailed log file even though the On-demand scanner log file settings is set to Log infections and errors only.
