ClamWin: compress local database

Submitted by bill125 on September 11, 2012 - 11:18pm

Howdy
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

DNS Issue with ClamWin Portable

Submitted by WanderingUser on May 26, 2012 - 4:24pm

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:

ClamAV update process started at Sat May 26 12:46:01 2012

Possible false positive detected by avast! Free Antivirus while running update on ClamWin Portable

I had a detection while running the virus database update that occurred near the end of the process. After uploading to and scanning with both http://www.virustotal.com/ and http://virusscan.jotti.org/en I believe it to be a false positive. The following are the links to the results
