I've posted a test release of Portable ClamWin AntiVirus:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/Portable_ClamWin_0.88.1_...
It's a 4.9MB download. 18MB installed before you download the definitions . Please give it a shot and post any comments or suggestions back here. This will be publicly released soon.
UPDATE 4/18 11:30pm EDT: The bug has been fixed. Please try it again.
UPDATE 4/19 10:45am EDT: Added fix for PCs without the latest MS VC files.
First off i like the exe. install. But for some reason i am not able to scan anything it just hangs with no errors.
I had the wrong config file in there. Gimme a few minutes to fix this.
The download is not working for me. Anyone else able to get it?
EDIT: I got it. That damned Sourceforge direct download FF extension always screws me up.
the dynamic library msvcr80.dll could not be found in the specified path
there is more if you need it
this only happes on the second computer i use the first is still working
I haven't encountered this on any system. Can you post more details?
i will get it to you tonight. im at work and it works fine on this computer
The second computer is windows 2000 is this a problem?
Copy these files:
* Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
* msvcm80.dll
* msvcm80.dll
* msvcr80.dll
From PortableClamWin\clamwin\bin\Microsoft.VC80.CRT to PortableClamWin\clamwin\bin
(thanks Jacoby for mentioning it)
Or... even better... grab the new Fixed3 release.
thanks everything works on both the xp and 2000 computers......
I made my own portable version using a guide i found on the clamwin site (kinda proud that i did it myself 
), and it had me copy the file you're looking for with some others:
* Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
* msvcm80.dll
* msvcm80.dll
* msvcr80.dll
I've been using this for a couple of weeks, but am switching to johns, because i trust his coding more than my screwing around with configuration files, and besides, he does good splashscreens! 
John hasnt steered me wrong, so ill stick with him.
For reference to the guide i used:
http://www.clamwin.com/content/view/118/89/
so far no trouble, works just like johns, and was easy to do, but i didn't like having to install locally to do it, and have since removed it locally, as it seems to misbehave with panda av. still, works portably tho.
I tested johns and it ran flawless, both today at school and tonight at home. Works on the 4 machines I always use.
I'm familiar with the guide, but I wanted to make one that would work out-of-the-box (or self extractor as it were) without anyone have to move files or make config changes.
Glad you like the new release.
yeah, just wish it came out sooner heheh. a lot easier to just extract and go. Keep up the good work John! I would have had to shell out a couple thousand bucks for a notebook to have my stuff on everywhere i go if it werent for you!
You're welcome. That's part of the goal of all of this. Make it easier for people to use technology. Promote some high quality open source apps. Save people some cash. Save people some weight when traveling.
in that, my good sir, you have definately succeeded. I, and i should think the rest of the community, are eternally grateful to you.
My money is best spent on tuition, not a notebook computer. I aint got enough for both, and barely enough for tuition as it is!
EDIT: And thanks for the latest fix. I'm scanning a school computer right now and it didnt have those pesky files, so naturally I checked here. And i deleted my copy last night.
Hi, I tried the version0.88.1 and it found 1 virus. But me other av scanner don't find it. Who is wrong and who is right ??
The program needs 1 hour for 1GB and uses around 70 % of my both CPU's.
Well, i can tell you from experience that avast is Shite. Cruddy scanning engine, replete with false positives, and replete with missing virii.
Switch to AVG Free and rescan. then draw your own conclusions. But from my experience, id trust clamwin.
Scanning my thumb drive with the Fixed3 relase of Portable Clamwin reported:
"G:\Portable Apps\PortableVLC\vlc\plugins\libmux_ps_plugin.dll: Trojan.Xombe.HTTP.A FOUND"
I consider it highly unlikely that this file is in fact infected. A scan with Symantec Antivirus doesn't turn up anything. Any thoughts? Is this a bug, a definition problem, a corrupted file, or is it in fact a virus?
jpe
ClamWin, Avast and Antivir all have false positives in some UPX-compressed files (as with portable apps). I've already submitted a false positive report to the ClamAV team, but it takes a bit for them to fix it.
You'd mentioned before that you were holding off on the release because of this issue (and some others). I'd forgotten all of the discussion about false positives. My fault, thanks for clearing that up.
