list files scanned by antivirus

i need to list the files scanned by my antivirus.

the real time scanner scans files in the system. as it scans the files in the system i want it to write the name of the file in a log file (flat file) in real time.

is that possible?

thanks

Depends... what antivirus do you use? Check the log files created by the AV to see if it records those... or look at the options to see if you can record such info. If you just want the list of files on your comp,

Using CMD, go to the root of the drive, and type

Code:

dir /s > FileList.txt

so now you can import the filelist.txt into excel for whatever you like, and extract the filenames etc.

or you can use

Code:

tree > TreeList.txt

i use avast.
the antivirus doesnt log files scanned by the real time scanner. it logs only whn i force a system scan.

i needed something which wud update a log file in real time abt the files being scanned.
