Did you manage to add ashQuick.exe and scan?
I'm not getting which command line parameters should I configurate...

Hi Tech,

Downloaded it with DownthemAll and unzipped it to a folder on my desktop, inserted a USB stick and it scanned it beautifully, good solution,

Hi Tech,

To load it click the batch file, you get an icon in your start bar...

In MAK: \C:\ProgramFiles\AlwilSoftware\Avast4\ashQuick.exe /target %k:/secure/quit/logc:\USBvirusscan.log

pol

PS It is also given as:
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe” %%c: /a /c /i /p=1 /s /t=a –report

For me, the only way to run it properly is:
"<path>\USBVirusScan.exe" -c -i "<avast path>\ashQuick.exe" j:
Where j: is the letter of the USB drive.
