Hi,
I am trying to see the results of a Symantec AV manual scan with results printed out for each file scanned. My goal is to ultimately parse this output for file name and the associated threat that's identified, if any. Other scanners have made this fairly easy with a verbose output toggle or alternate command line function.
Examples:
Windows Defender
Scan starting...
Scan finished.
Scanning C:\Users\user\files found 1 threats.

Back to Symantec
Is there any function for Symantec (either on Linux or Windows) that emulates the above? So far I have had no success. The closest thing is enabling vpdebug and checking the log file, but this is quite clunky and doesn't really contain the output I need (see attached). Seems like a simple task that a virus scanner should offer, but if it does then it certainly isn't easy to find.
