  That is the main problem...the new virus signatures are no longer updated
with the command line scanners. Plus, you have to have a license to use
them...and once you have a virus scanner on your system it tends to FIGHT with
competing scanners, thinking the competing scanner and datafiles are malware.

  Right now, I have the IOBit Advanced System Care (which includes the IObit
Malware Fighter)...but the command line length for these programs is limited
in size.
