Just upgraded to the latest Portable Apps ClamWin 0.90 and whenever I try to run a scan I get the same error: "Error: MD5 verification error". No files or folders are scanned. Please advise.

but, I am not as qualified as John or many others to answer this, but I think that you should try downloading it again and then update the virus definitions (if you did not update the definitions before, then that should fix your problem).

Take ages for gettin a scanning but it works believe me
Sir,
I have downloaded ClamWin. But it does not scan even a single file. I also downloaded the latest virus data.
Is there any other way out?
Regards.

Delete the Clamwin Portable folder and installer, download ClamWin Portable from this site again (John updated it yesterday), install it again, download the updates and try the scan.

I'm using the latest version of ClamWin Portable, downloaded from this site. Any ideas what is wrong?
Known viruses:0
shows You, that the Databases main.cvd and/or daily.cvd in the Data/db folder are empty.
Try dowloading the actual dbs via 'Tools-Download Virus Database Update'.
Keep in mind that You have to allow Clamwin to connect the internet if You have a firewall enabled

What You need is OSS!
I am pretty sure I did just that, and the update process was a success. Anyway, will try to re-download and re-install the whole thing (installer + virus database) later... or perhaps I'll just stick to the virus-free, linux environment
You can also easily reset ClamWin Portable by deleting the ClamWinPortable\Data directory.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Re-installing the whole thing seems to solve the problem. Many thanks!
