ClamWin 97.1 portable picks up a virus in itself.

Submitted by Frank D. Hubeny on June 21, 2011 - 8:25am

Good Morning Group;

The last two versions of ClamWin portable seem to pick up a virus in itself when scanning.

I do not get this when I make a portable ClamWin from the instructions on ClamWin's site. I wonder if this is not do to something that is done like compression when the portable version is made.

I should have written the message down. It is the only thing ClamWin picks up as haveing a virus on my PC's.

ClamWin Portable - A lot Of False Positive?

Submitted by DarrenAnton on May 12, 2011 - 8:24pm

ClamWin Portable... I just checked this program out. I have the lastest updates.

Known viruses: 963005
Engine version: 0.96
Scanned directories: 27112
Scanned files: 132643
Infected files: 29

(I run AVG as my normal AV program)
and have not had a problem with the 2 Computers I have here. The Other computer has the same problem.

I check the first 5 files at..
http://www.virustotal.com/

They show up as Clean.

Is this Normal for ClamWin as in it's Not ready for prime time yet, or Can anyone think of any other problem why I get this?

KeePass Screen

I don't know if it just me...

I seem to be getting the "About KeePass" (beg?) screen pop up every once in a while. It happens when KeePass times out and auto-minimizes/locks the password database. It might be only once per day.

This behavior occurs since the upgrade to KeePass version 1.19.

KeePass: Auto-Complete in IE8

Submitted by KIborama on March 8, 2011 - 4:12pm

I use KeePass Portable on different machines but am having a problem with using it on my IE8 browser at work.

Instead of pasting
user name
password

it pastes
ser name
password

It misses that first character of the user name every time.

Since my usernames often begin with the letter K I can type a K in the username field on the website and then Auto-Complete works fine. This never happens in Firefox or Chrome, only IE8. My work computer is an old Pentium 4 running Windows XP Pro SP3.

ClamWin: EICAR TEST

Submitted by Devildevilscle on January 29, 2011 - 12:58pm

I found an article about "testing av" and i did tried to follow steps it said to test clamwin. I copied an example virus file to a text document. I turned off the desktop's AV, renamed the txt file as mytest.com. Scanned it w/ clamwin but unfortunately, clamwin did not detected the virus. I turned the desktop's AV on, and it quickly deleted the file. Why cant clamwin detect that EICAR test virus?
