Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi,

I am using Avast Pro Antivirus 5.0.418 command line scanner through my program.
It generates an output file. My concern is if the scan found a virus what will the description/keyword to indicate that there was a virus.
I need to read that output file and if i come to know that output file will contain either say “Infected” or “Virus found” then I can notify the user that there was a virus.
Please send me a sample of any output file generated by command line scanner having virus.

Thanks
Bharat

Bharat,

You can goto xxtp://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm (replace the “xx” with “ht”) and access the (harmless) test files there, so you can see what is generated yourself.
