Proxy?
This is probably due to your trying tto update from behind a proxy or firewalled connection. Try from another location and it should work. I have the same thing happen if I try to update from work or Tafe. Update from home and if that does not work try a internet cafe. Also might help to know there is a proxy get tool somewhere here on the site that tells you the proxy setting of the network your on.
Good luck

cant update either
after installing the app it demanded a database update
which wouldnt run
carefull reading of the log suggested that the app version itself was out of date & needed a fresh list of places to look for database updates
this i've done i think
i still get the same basic error messages about bogus loops etc
here it is the full text
i d/l version
Download 0.94.1 Rev 2
Windows, English
6MB download / 25MB installed Download Details
from http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/clamwin_portable
there is of course no c:\docume~1\public\locals~1\temp\tmppikmk4
plus plus plus blah blah blah
i easily spent 4 hours on this now & i aint too happy.
whats the problem?
is it easily sdolvible?
or should i seek another solution for my virus checking needs?
i've no hope of solving problems like proxys etc for loads of reasons to dull/complex to describe here, ..., just assume that i'm a very stupid person
thanks in advance
cheers
stupid
Ignore
As has been stated in other topics, you can ignore the OUTDATED message. ClamAV is updated first (which is when the warnings start), then ClamWin is updated. Only then can we update the portable package.
I just tried updating and it worked fine for me. Sounds like an issue on your network end, which isn't something we can do much to fix. You can keep trying. Or you can manually download the definitions here:

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
thanks
J T Haller thanks for the swift reply, much appreciated
Even better this seems to be working for me now
Probably proxy
I agree with horusofoz comment that it is probably a proxy problem. My ClamWin reported the same errors as yours; fixed by sorting out the proxy settings.
oooo...
ok.. tq..

Clamwins Servers?
Could it be on ClamWins end? I had the same problem earlier this week and I'm not using a proxy. But... I was able to get the updates the next day.

were you using the same

Me? Yep
But, I'm also on dial-up, that could have been the problem as well. I have encountered this before, but not frequently. It's not a big issue for me, I just replied to give another possible reason to OP.
