is it possible to run portable clamwin with wine? I think it's possible, I get a message about a .dll not loading, do you know which .dll is missing for it to work?

well, the thing now works with the latest wine version.
how can it work in WINE??
Well if i remember reading correctly Clamwin itself doesnt work in wine. why bother when ClamAV (what ClamWin is based off of) is avalible in ubuntu.
yes, to say, most offical apps work to some degree, in WINE, though most have native versions
i read in this article that ClamWin can run in WINE..

While it does catch viruses (it marked my eicar test file), it does not recursively scan and does not update. This makes it next to useless as an anti-virus (Hence the bronze).
Note this test is VERY old and the newer one may just be broken.

really??i can scan Ubuntu files??linux files not windows files??can i know how or can i have a link to something where i can read about it..thank you so much..it will be a great help..
I know that you can browse through wine and access all the files on your Linux box. So I thought that scanning them should be possible too. but I haven't found any actual evidence of it on google.

a file is a file, is a file.
Apps running under wine can be configured to be able to see anything in the linux filesystem, and, therfore, Clamwin will be able to scan anything that it can see.
My question is why on earth would you want to do this? Clamwin is the windows port of ClamAV, a linux-native virus scanner. If you want to scan for viruses on a linux box using Clam's scanner technology, use ClamAV. You will get much better reliability, stability, and speed out of it that way. (i.e. it is less likely to crash, break in future versions, miss infected files due to obscure wine dll oddities.
how can it be configured so that it can scan linux filesystems?

I agree. Also there might be a bug with file structure. Clamwin is built for FAT and NTFS not HSF+ or EXT2/3/4.
well to answer your question..i want to do some experiments on WINE because as they say, the latest version of it is much better..and i am curious on how ClamWin can run on it..
Seeing as Clamwin is noting more than a port of ClamAV i have to ask why? I still dont see the point. It seems useless and a waste of time and effort.
