SAV32cli - files

Question

Hello, 
 i have an older Command Line Scanner, which can't download the sophos ide files anymore - because, it's not supported anymore. 
 
 Therefore, i copied the ide - files from Sophos Endpoint Securityfolder to the temp - folder of my commmandline scanner. 
 
 I started the scanner in safe mode - but the script told me, that there are no files. 
 I started in normal mode again and checked this folder. 
 The ide files, which i copied before to this location - where changed from DOT ide to DOT vba ?????? 
 
 Is there a way to change this behavior? - because, it would be easier to me to use this scanner.... 
 
 Thank's to everyone ho can help me out.

Btw: i know, that i can use directly the command line of sav32cli.exe 
 I'll just wonna try it out - if it works at all 
 Actually I wonna try tu use the older CLI from David Lipmann (Multi-AV) to install/run from an USB stick

Hi Lothar Peters 
 Unfortunately, I am not aware of David Lipmann(Multi-AV) CLI scanner but we have Sophos AV scanner available to make the bootable USB scanner. 
 Please refer to this article which will provide you information on how to make bootable USB stick with Sophos AV to scan.

Hi Lothar Peters 
 Thank you for the information. 
 SBAV is the only one which can be used to make USB drive for the scanning of any machines. For, sav32cli.exe, the machine should have Sophos installed on it. 
 Please refer to this article which explains how to run sav32clie.exe and "Further Information" section of this article has two more articles which provide you with more information on more scanning options with sav32cli.exe and how malicious file can be removed with the help of this tool.
