AVG 8 command line scanner not working - avgscanx.exe

Asked by LanMan6401 in Email Anti-Virus, Desktop Anti-Virus, Server Anti-Virus

Tags: AVG, AVG 8, 8, AVG 8 Command line scanner

I currently use AVG for an external email scanner. I would like to update to version 8 but the command line does not work.  I've tried many different combinations but none of them actually scan the file.

Here is a complex sample I tried:
avgscanx /HEUR /SCAN /ARC /RT /NOBREAK /NOBOOT /NOMEM /NOHIMEM eicar.com

The eicar.com file was in the same directory as the avgscanx.exe file.  I've also tried exact directory path with the file as well.

I've also tried doing a simple command line scan like avgscanx /scan eicar.com.  Still nothing.  I can right click the file and scan from the explorer shell and it detects it fine.

The command line looks like it is scanning the file but logs "no objects scanned"
