Use ashQuick.exe

Thanks a lot Asyn ,but there is one more thing -How should I set the parameters?

avast doesn’t need any additional parameters, you would only need that if your download manager required it, check its help file.

So you may only have to enter the full path to ashQuick.exe in your download manager.

quoted from Igor (avast dev):

Right now, the following command-line switches are (= will be) supported: /silent - don't display anything even if malware is found (the difference is only in the return code available to the program that launched ashQuick) /action:delete /action:chest /action:repair

Note that:

  • ashQuick always stops scanning when a first malware is found - that’s the one displayed in the final message. So, the fact that the final message shows some “less critical” malware ([PUP], [Susp]) doesn’t mean there isn’t any worse inside if the file is an archive.
  • the action (delete, chest) always works with the whole file, no matter if it’s an archive or not.
  • we’d really like to avoid turning this simple tool into another full-featured scanned, with the same options as the usual GUI-based scans
