IZArc virus scan settings for McAfee VirusScan

IZArc is fantastic for handling virtually every possible file compression, but I'm sure you already knew that. Microsoft did well building zip into the operating system, but IZArc is better.

Anyway, when you install it, you can optionally specify a virus scanning program. I have McAfee / Network Associates VirusScan (v8.0.0), and it took me a moment to figure out reasonable values for the Virus Scanner options. I didn't see any settings on the web for what other people were using for scan32, so here is what I did.

Options / Configuration / Program Locations / Virus Scanner
Optional Virus Scanner: C:\Program Files\Network Associates\VirusScan\scan32.exe
Parameters: %d /AUTOEXIT /NOESTIMATE

If anyone has better settings, let me know.
