In case anybody is using my tiny ClamWinPortableDBUpdate utility for ClamWin Portable, I wanted to mention that I have uploaded a new version of it (v.0.3). The biggest change is that it is no longer installed inside the ClamWin Portable folder but rather immediately outside it. I have also added a new .ini tweak, and the thing is now licensed under GPL 2.

The last time I checked with the ClamWin forums, the "--mode=update" command switch for ClamWinPortable.exe that ClamWin Portable Database Updater uses wasn't officially supported--it is included in ClamWin's code "for internal use" by the developers. (See http://forums.clamwin.com/viewtopic.php?p=4468.)
ClamWinPortableDBUpdate on the other hand uses freshclam.exe, which is the officially supported command-line method to update ClamWin's virus definitions. I opted to use the freshclam.exe method because I felt that since it is officially supported, the chances of it breaking unexpectedly in a future release are lower than for the ClamWinPortable.exe --mode=update method.
