We know that the /nofloppy switch is not supported with fpcmd. And it appears that the /nomem switch is irrelevant as memory is not scanned whether the switch is used or not (but does not complain if used). However, the /noboot switch is still supported and needed in order to not scan the boot sectors with each message scanned. Here is the proof: With /noboot switch: ========== Search: message.zip Action: Report only Files: Attempt to identify files Switches: /ARCHIVE /PACKED /SERVER /REPORT=report.txt /NOBREAK /SILENT /NOBOOT /NOMEM /AI /PARANOID /SAFEREMOVE Memory was not scanned. Hard disk boot sectors were not scanned. Without /noboot switch: ========== Search: message.zip Action: Report only Files: Attempt to identify files Switches: /ARCHIVE /PACKED /SERVER /REPORT=report.txt /NOBREAK /SILENT /AI /PARANOID /SAFEREMOVE Memory was not scanned. No viruses were found in MBRs or hard disk boot sectors. Notice the last line of each scan report. If you do not use the /noboot switch, the boot sectors will be scanned with each message that is scanned - probably not what you want. In both cases, with and without the /nomem switch, it says the "Memory was not scanned. However, it does not complain that the switch is used, so I would continue to use it.
