Hi there, I have just got Bullguard and so far think it is very good. For many years I had AVG and last switched to Kaspersky but found it troublesome and put a strain on my System so I thought I would give Bullguard a try and so far so good. It doesn't seem to use much of system when it is scanning and seems to be catching most nasty bugs.

But can anyone help with this problem. How do I configure Winrar to scan with Bullguard?
At the moment, I have WinRar set up like this:-

Virus Scanner Name C:\Program Files\BullGuard Ltd\BullGuard\BgScan.exe

Virus Scanner Parameters "%f"


Is this right? because when I scan the download file within WinRar the scan is very very quick about a couple of seconds and when I used AVG and Kaspersky it took much longer and in fact Kaspersky used a Dos file to scan the document I had downloaded.

Can you Help.................Please?

Thank You

Thanks Alvin......sorry for being a nuisance.

At the moment the Parameters I am using is:-

"%f"

but I don't know if this right or not. or whether or not the the Scanner name I am pointing it at is correct:-

C:\Program Files\BullGuard Ltd\BullGuard\BgScan.exe

Thanks again

Alin, I tried that.......I really don't know if that works.

What happens is that a dos type screen appears with an address "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" and then about 20 seconds later it says "press any key to continue".......I thought it might have said that it has checked the files and finds no virus's and then said press any key to continue........but maybe that is the way it is set up to scan.......I don't know!!!!

Do you think that is it scanning the files when that screen appears? Is that it now working? :confused:

Thanks again for your help

Alin

Have you had time to look at this problem and report? Is it now working and now correctly scanning the files (even though it doesn't state it has scanned the files).......your answer would be much appreciated.

I have bought two further editions of Bullguard AV for my two daughters Laptops as I find it a very good, light and easy Anti-virus Application to work with but I do need to know if this problem is now solved or are there some adjustments that Bullguard themselves need to do to make it work correctly.

Thanks

Hi Charlie,


The usage you mentioned in the first post is correct.

However, WR will not scan the files automatically - you'll need to tell it every time you wish the archive to be scanned.

That means you need to open the archive, then go to Tools - Scan archive for viruses and press OK.

We don't have a switch to make the scan silent (to display the end pop-up only if an infection was found), but we'll have one soon.

Thanks Alex for replying so quickly.

Now just to check I have got this right, I configure WinRar like this:-

Virus Scanner Name C:\Program Files\BullGuard Ltd\BullGuard\BgScan.exe

Virus Scanner Parameters "%f"

and then I open the archive, then go to Tools - Scan archive for viruses and press OK.

Which is what I have already been doing! So the very short time of scanning is correct? (a couple of seconds.....very very quick)

Thanks again for your help
