avp.com HELP <command>

At the command prompt, you can refer to the application either from the application installation folder or by specifying the full path to avp.com.

You can enable or disable application event logging (creating trace files) from the command prompt if you have previously set a password to protect access to Kaspersky Anti-Virus management in the application settings window.
