   ML>version...   
      
     That is the main problem...the new virus signatures are no longer updated   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.
