AVG & VirtualBox

Hello
In VirtualBox I created windows 7 VM and installed AVG in it.(sorry for my English )
in my host OS I created folder named "Shared" . In VM I added this folder as Shared folder.
so I want scan this shared folder using avg command line scaner, but then I tried avgscanx.exe /scan="\\VBOXSVR\Shared" nothing happened. What is my mistake ?

Hello Dave,

Please be informed that, it seems that it is not possible to use it with virtual box because of way it is shared.
Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.
