Howdy
the online updates make the db very large-I asked at camwin forums and they suggested to change this: CompressLocalDatabase = yes in the ClamWin.conf file.
There are 2 of those files 1 in data/settings and 1 in app/defaultData/settings is that option in either of those files and or can I add it? I am using the program locally in folder PortableApps.
Thanks
Bill

Should be fine to do. This may slow things down running from removable media, but for a local install it would be the same as changing this setting in a proper installation of the program.
The one in Data/settings is the "live" version of the file. The one in App/DefaultData/settings will only ever be used if your Data/settings directory goes missing. It is up to you if you change the one in DefaultData or not.
Thanks Winterblood
which one should I change? Is that option there or do I have to add it?
Change the one in Data/settings. The one in DefaultData is optional.
The option may already be there, if not just add it in.
Thanks I will give it a shot,I just looked at
those files and it is not there so I will add
it at the bottom of the file and see what happens.
I will copy the folder to my documents first.
Thanks Again........
