Just a note:
The main.cvd for ClamAV/Win/portable is updating from

48 to 49

If you have high speed access the most efficient way to do the update is to directly download the file from here:

http://www.clamav.org/download/cvd
after deleting your current main.cvd

If you allow it to update itself you will get a
39 MB main.cld instead of a nice compact 18 MB main.cvd

don't forget to delete your current daily.cld also if you use this method, the new daily.cvd is only 319kb

FWI,

Tim

This looks like it would be handy to know and do but I don't fully understand the instructions. Could you please reiterate with better explanation.

Thanks.

Simple

1. Right click on a link.
2. Select Save Link As (if Firefox) or Save Target As (if Internet Explorer).
3. Save in ClamWinPortable/Data/db/
4. Click Yes to replace the existing file.
5. Repeat the same steps for the other link.

First iteration

delete
...\ClamWinPortable\Data\db\main.*
...\ClamWinPortable\Data\db\daily.*

replace with main.cvd and daily.cvd from the site link provided

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?

Thanks to both of you.
