How to code batch file to scan virus using Norton 360?

I would like to run a batch file to scan C:\myFolder for any virus using Norton 360,

 

"The following examples show the syntax of a scan command:

"\Program Files\Norton Internet Security\Engine\version\NAVW32" /command_name

where version represents the version number of Norton Internet Security and command_name represents the command.

"\Program Files\Norton Internet Security\Engine\version\NAVW32" /[path]file_name

where version represents the version number of Norton Internet Security and [path] file_name represents the location, name, and extension of the file."

I find the location as following, I would like to scan folder instead of specific file,

Installed location for Norton 360: C:\Norton 360\Engine\5.2.1.3\

My scan folder location: C:\myFolder /S[+]

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

When I enter following code in cmd, it pops up a norton message as shown on below link,

Could you please tell me how to skip it? and where I can see the report on number of virus detected

"C:\Program Files\Norton 360\Engine\5.2.2.3\navw32.exe" C:\Intel

"After you read and accept  xxx agreement and continue to operate, do you want to see the agreement now?"

I get no idea what agreement talking about, when I click yes, there is nothing show up.

 

I get both versions, should I use 5.2.2.3 instead of 5.2.1.3? or it does not matter

C:\Program Files\Norton 360\Engine\5.2.1.3\navw32.exe

C:\Program Files\Norton 360\Engine\5.2.2.3\navw32.exe

 

Do you have any suggestions?

 

Thanks you very much for suggestions

Is there a specific reason you need to do this with at batch file?

 

You can just right click on your folder in Windows Explorer and choose Norton 360, and scan now.

I need to check download files for any virus based on schedule, and would like to determine whether those files are infected or not.

Do you have any suggestions on how to code it in batch file?

Thanks everyone very much for any suggestions

I'm not sure you need to do this as Norton Download Intelligence should give you the protection you are looking for. It is included in your Norton product.

 

Check out the following Symantec knowledge base article to see if it does what you need.

Also, the real time scanners will catch anything the first time you tried to access the files.

I use some script to download from internet, will Norton Intelligent automatically scan for this action too?

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks everyone very much any suggestions

There is no reason the Download Intelligence should not work on downloads from a script. Scripts basically automate the regular operation of the computer as if a user was typing at the keyboard. They do not bypass the operating system.

 

As a test, run your script to download something. Then go to your scan history in N360. Select Download Insight in the Show drop down list. See if your download is listed.

Could you please tell me where to locate the Download Insight records?

I am using Norton 360 5.0

Thanks everyone very much for any suggestions

From the main User Interface, click on Tasks - Check Security History. Then in the Show dropdown list select the Download Insight option.
