ClamWin: ClamAV main.cvd Update [FYI] 05/14/09

Just a note:
The main.cvd for ClamAV/Win/portable is updating from

50 to 51

If you have high speed access the most efficient way to do the update is to directly download the file from here:

http://www.clamav.org/download/cvd
after deleting your current main.cvd

If you allow it to update itself you will get a
46 MB main.cld instead of a nice compact 20 MB main.cvd

don't forget to delete your current daily.cld also if you use this method, the new daily.cvd is only 137kb

Remember:

delete
...\ClamWinPortable\Data\db\main.*
...\ClamWinPortable\Data\db\daily.*

and
replace with main.cvd and daily.cvd from the site link provided

FYI,

Tim

Yes

Main.cld is an updated version of main.cvd from the last update.

Delete anything Main.* and daily.* and replace them with the .cvd's at the site.
