pwlngs Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 hay guys, i have been using the command line scanner with Emsisoft Anti-malware to automaticly remove threats with a schedualed task to run a .bat file. but for some reason Heuristics scan mode will not enable on over half the computers I run this on, same thing with Emsisoft Emergency Kit, here is the command I have been using; a2cmd.exe /deep /a /h /r /q=C:\Program Files\Emsisoft Anti-Malware\Quarantine /l=C:\SPC\emsisoftlogs This will enable heuristics on some computers and on others it remains off... Any ideas? Thank you Caleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Peters Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hello Caleb, do you use on any computer the same commandline scanner version? The newest version is 6.5.0.4. Do you use on any computer the same windows version and servicepack? If not on what windows versions the heuristic is not working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Peters Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hello Caleb, can you please send me the *.bat file on personal message? What is the install path of your commandline scanner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwlngs Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 cd C:\Program Files\Emsisoft Anti-Malware a2cmd.exe /update a2cmd.exe /deep /a /h /r /q=C:\Program Files\Emsisoft Anti-Malware\Quarantine /l=C:\SPC\emsisoftlogs above is my enite emsisoft.bat file that i target the install path is C:\Program Files\Emsisoft Anti-Malware, so far using the install path C:\Program Files\Emsisoft Anti-Malware i have had no luck getting heuristics to enable but if I use the EmsisoftEmergencykit scanner with C:\spc\EmsisoftEmergencykit scanner\run\a2cmd.exe /deep /a /h /r /q=C:\Program Files\Emsisoft Anti-Malware\Quarantine /l=C:\SPC\emsisoftlogs; It will enable on about 50% of the computers with the Emergency Kit, none with Emsisoft Antimalware. And it does need to be enabled other wise it wont remove the conficker virus thats flooding all my networks =/ Thank you Caleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwlngs Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I dont know if you are still reviewing this post but what is ADS? and how would i turn it on? it shows up right below heuristics in the cmd scanner. Thank you Caleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Peters Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hello, ADS means "Scan in NTFS Alternate Data Streams" or "Scans also hidden data flows in NTFS disks". You can enable this scan parameter with /n or /ntfs. See also the description on http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/cmd/ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
