You can scan with Norton AntiVirus from the command prompt without opening the Norton AntiVirus main window. You type the path and name of the file that you want to scan or customize the scan by adding a specific command. The following are some frequently used commands:

At the command prompt, type the path in which Norton AntiVirus is located and the executable's file name.
The following examples show the syntax of a scan command:
"\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\Engine\version\NAVW32" /command_name
Where version represents the version number of Norton AntiVirus and command_name represents the command.
"\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\Engine\version\NAVW32" [path]file_name
Where version represents the version number of Norton AntiVirus and [path] file_name represents the location, name, and extension of the file.
Press Enter.
Please note that i need only a command which enable "USBvirusScan" to auto run my Norton antivirus scan for a usb stick or any other removable media when it is inserted into my computer.
Kindly help me and create command line for my antivirus to run through "USBvirusScan" .

Hello, Narendra_000
Just want to say I looked over your post and I got lost.
Maybe others are either not interested in the idea or they think it is too hard.
What about a AV program that can be put on a USB stick and run in any Windows PC? It is called "Portable AV scanner" and some are found on free download sites.
