Security Apps Support

I have a thumb drive I use as a mobile maintenance and repair aid that also has ClamWin Portable on it. I don't run ClamWin as the primary AV on any of my PCs so I run FreshClam from command line to keep the ClamWin antivirus definition databases on the thumb drive updated. Sometime in the last few weeks the updates started failing. Dunno if it's significant but I notice the freshclam.exe file happens to be dated 1 October 2012.

The ClamWin is v0.97.6. The failure is occurring on both WinXPSP3 and Win7SP1. The command line I'm using is:

Hi John
thank you for the fast update of the new version 0.967 running like a champ-you are the best!

I thought I would give Keypass a look and installed in on an external drive under a conventional PortableApps installation. After running the program (and not being able to successfully import a file from PasswordSafe ) I found files left on my C drive in:

C:\users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent items\

(xxxxx is the name of my computer)

I would appreciate any comments on this as well as how PasswordSafe files might be imported.

The ClamWin Portable launcher doesn't copy the default ClamWin.conf file. It looks for it at:
$EXEDIR\App\DefaultData\ClamWin.conf
when it should actually be:
$EXEDIR\App\DefaultData\settings\ClamWin.conf

the online updates make the db very large-I asked at camwin forums and they suggested to change this: CompressLocalDatabase = yes in the ClamWin.conf file.
There are 2 of those files 1 in data/settings and 1 in app/defaultData/settings is that option in either of those files and or can I add it? I am using the program locally in folder PortableApps.
Thanks
Bill

v 1.23
Is there a newer version?

All importing options are grayed out.
how does one import a txt,csv or even a splash ID file?

Hi
I am confused-clamwins site has version 0.97.5 will you be updating this ? When I do an update online the log says that version of the engine is available.

That is what it says so I have been manually downloading the daily,no biggie just curious

not really sure what happaned..
but i have never had a problem before...
but today..
KeePass refuses to close.
no matter what i do..
it stays open.

i have to close via Task Manager.

My OS: Win7/64

i've been using KeePass since last year.

The only thing i was doing was using PAFInstaller.

---------------------

N/M.
it's not doing it anymore..
hmm.. i think it's because i had PAF Installer opened at the same time..
weird

I'm using v. 0.97.4 and it will not update the virus definitions at all. This has been going on for some time; finally I've gotten around to trying to figure it out. When I run ClamWin, it offers to update, attempts to, but produces the following result:

Im new to portableapps, but just installed clamwin and chrome and clamwin is saying

PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin\18.0.1025.168\chrome.dll: W32.Virut.Gen.D-148 FOUND

Is clamwin have a lot of false notices ?
