ClamWin Portable

Possible false positive detected by avast! Free Antivirus while running update on ClamWin Portable

Artos - January 6, 2012 - 3:05pm

I had a detection while running the virus database update that occurred near the end of the process. After uploading to and scanning with both http://www.virustotal.com/ and http://virusscan.jotti.org/en I believe it to be a false positive. The following are the links to the results

Dealing w/ worm on desktop

prr - November 23, 2011 - 10:50am

There is a worm (conficker)that keeps infecting a desktop I plug my USB drive into. I see portable apps has ClamWin and Spybot. What would be the best solution for me to keep my usb drive clean? I'm not trying to clean up the desktop--that has been done in the past and someone keeps re-infecting it. I just wanna shield my own usb drive. I'm tired of plugging it back into my laptop and getting that message again.

NO HAY FILE .exe

DAVINSKY - November 4, 2011 - 7:26pm

SEGUN EL SOPORTE TECNICO DE COMO EMPESAR A UTILIZAR "CLAMWIN PORTABLE" DICE QUE HAY QUE DARLE DOBLE CLICK AL ARCHIVO PortableClamWin.exe PERO EN LA INSTALACION EN MI DRIVE USB NO APARECE ESE ARCHIVO

Using ClamWin Portable

To start up ClamWin Portable, just double-click PortableClamWin.exe file where you installed Portable ClamWin on your portable drive. Then, use it just like you would a local copy of ClamWin.

NO SE COMO ACTIVARLO.
POR FAVOR ESPERO RESPUESTA EN MI MAIL davidsyh5@gmail.com

ClamWin 97.1 portable picks up a virus in itself.

Frank D. Hubeny - June 21, 2011 - 7:25am

Good Morning Group;

The last two versions of ClamWin portable seem to pick up a virus in itself when scanning.

I do not get this when I make a portable ClamWin from the instructions on ClamWin's site. I wonder if this is not do to something that is done like compression when the portable version is made.

I should have written the message down. It is the only thing ClamWin picks up as haveing a virus on my PC's.

EDITED 06 / 22 / 2011

ClamWin Portable - A lot Of False Positive?

DarrenAnton - May 12, 2011 - 7:24pm

ClamWin Portable... I just checked this program out. I have the lastest updates.

Known viruses: 963005
Engine version: 0.96
Scanned directories: 27112
Scanned files: 132643
Infected files: 29

(I run AVG as my normal AV program)
and have not had a problem with the 2 Computers I have here. The Other computer has the same problem.

I check the first 5 files at..
http://www.virustotal.com/

They show up as Clean.

Is this Normal for ClamWin as in it's Not ready for prime time yet, or Can anyone think of any other problem why I get this?
