Comments
Updated ClamAV Files
ClamWin Portable now contains the most up to date ClamAV Windows binaries.
Does it mean it's more updated than the official ClamWin?
ClamWin's own official download seems to be from June 2021, which is their latest news (released 3 days before its equivalent PortableApps version).
So does it mean those that download the PortableApps version get better internal upgrades than those that download ClamWin's own official version? If so, that's quite a precedent, isn't it?
Correct
That's correct. ClamWin is updated very infrequently. I thought doing this and testing would help make our package a bit better.
Cool
Of course, you can always patch their code base directly as an open source contributor...
