I have no clue what is wrong. If all else fails, use os.system() instead of
os.popen(). Pipes tend not to always work in windows.

I've confirmed the string I'm inputting to os.popen is EXACTLY the same
as the one I can successfully execute manually
It appears os.popen() doesn't like full windows paths with spaces (e.g.
"c:/program files") so I'm going to use the subprocess module.

use raw strings
e.g., instead of '"c:...\avgscan...'

Your string contains backquotes, and they have to be escaped.
Either use a raw string: os.popen(r'"c:\Program...) or double all
backquotes: os.popen('"c:\
On my system (WinXP) typing the following line into command
prompt(cmd.exe) successfully scans the file test1.txt:
