Did Symantec Corporate Edition support MSN Messenger File Transfer Scan??? What is the executible file for that?

Under MSN Msgner -> Tools -> Options -> File Transfer, The second option asks "Scan files for virus using..." Which Symantec exe should I use???
 
I am pretty sure that that is not supported. The consumer edition (Norton Antivirus) does ship with an executable to do this, but I am not aware of an executable for Symantec Antivirus CE.

You are however still protected. If you happen to receive a file through MSN, it will first be saved to your hard-drive before you can execute it from within messenger, and therefore SAVCE will pick it up with auto-protect/real-time protection.
Viruses within archives (ZIP, RAR etc.) will be detected upon extraction of the archive itself.
