Why on G-d's earth do you want command line arguments to malware and then call your utility
anti virus ?

What do you want them for junk software ?

Do you read/write Chinese as well ?

Have YOU vetted that list you posted ?

the most likely reason is that s/he intends to perform some sort of
comparative review... coupled with the fact that s/he also pointed
someone to a scanner s/he produced i can only surmise a 'marketing'
effort is afoot...

First off, the list was significantly larger before I went through and
weeded out that which I considered to be useless, commandline
arguments I found on my own, or removed true duplicate entries.
Secondly, some of the programs listed, I don't think highly of, but if
someone wants to install and use them, go right ahead. If they find
them to be useful, I won't tell them otherwise. At no point does VTE
come bundled with any other commercial applications.

Secondly, there is nothing wrong with my desire to find as many
products that have commandline support so I can add in more plug-ins
for software that people *MIGHT* have installed on their system. This
leads to better support for any product that is security related,
whether it's a virus, network, or spyware scanner.

Thirdly, any other software that may turn out to be hostile at a later
date, I can subsequently add to VTE's malware database, remove support
for, and then create more definitions/heuristics. In the near future,
I will be adding in a networked AI scheme into VTE, which will
significantly reduce the number of definitions I would have to
manually add. The definitions would then be handled by VTE on the
users machines.

Finally, no, I don't read/write chinese. For foreign languages, I use
translators (with the exception of Spanish), and then translate the
results between both languages until both results come up the same.

Again, any help with finding commandline arguments for these programs
will be much appreciated.

That *may* be hostile ?

Do your homwork FIRST before asking such questions. WinAntivirus (and WinAntispyware both
from the same source) is malware.

Start with the Rogue list at Spyware Warrior
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

Know who are the "white hat" security software. The fact that you have added WinAntivirus
to the referenced list leaves you subsequent software "in doubt" and unsupportable.

Rising AntiVirus is Chinese and is for the Chinese speaking/reading computer user.

Then there is the JUNK software. An example would be Solo Anti virus. It has ZERO value.

Okay... So your basically writing a front-end then?

Well, you've got to admit, that was funny to read. :)

Why.. on earth would he bother to do that? He's too lazy to checkout any
command line features of the software he's using. He's even assuming
everything listed has command line support.

Hmm... Do you remember this scanner? From what little I understand of it,
it's actually a front-end for a various group of scanners developed by
others?

At least he/she isn't posting from the Columbus Ohio Public Library anymore.

I remember. He is also the one who has hosted numerous LIVE malware samples to test his
utility.

We strongly denounced said practice.
