Launch KeePass and automatically open password file

Submitted by brodiemac on October 8, 2010 - 5:15pm

I know this can be done by having the .kdb file in the same location as the KeePass executable but I was wondering if there is a way to do this with the file in a different location? I have mine in a different directory to make backups easier but I still would like KeePass to launch and open the file simultaneously. Is that possible in the portable version?

ClamWin Bug: Can't Save Reports (Affects Portable and Local)

Submitted by Alcasar on September 9, 2010 - 3:31pm

I just installed the latest version 0.96.2.1 and i still get the Error FFFF message when ever i try saving an update report.

It might have something to do with the fact that when ever i go into the preferences all the directories are blank unless i put the cursor in the blank space and move it around, then the directory appears.

Is there something wrong with the relative paths or something?

ClamWin: CWP 96.2.1 update query

@JTH

I just updated from 96.1 to 96.2.1

I was happy to see that \Data\settings files were maintained
But
all the files in \Data\db were wiped out:
main.cvd
daily.cld
bytecode.cvd
mirrors.dat
during the update [and before the program was actually run].

Fortunately I had a copy of those files and restored them before running the program. Upon launch everything ran fine.

I THOUGHT you said after the last update, when there was a significant change in CW, that the installer would only do this if you were upgrading a version earlier than 96.1 or something like that.

Clamwin Portable puts text files on host machine \appdata\local\temp\

After a failed DB definition update at work (probably corporate firewall related) I read the error message. At the end of the failed connection attempts I got to this

Giving up on database.clamav.net...
Update failed. Your network may be down or none of the mirrors listed in c:\users\\appdata\local\temp\tmpcbjuy5 is working. Check http://www.clamav.net/support/mirror-problem for possible reasons.

ClamWin: CWP Says CWP is a trojan?

Submitted by oraclex7 on September 3, 2010 - 10:55pm

Okay, strangeness abounds.

I installed the suite on my new USB HD, and just for fun thought I'd run CWP, updated the defs as it said since it was the first time running, then started scanning the USB drive, my McAfee picked up the temp files as a trojan, but I know the reason for that after looking through this forum (thanks for that answer)

But then I thought I'd scan the processes in memory... And CWP picked up itself, twice as a trojan, some generic one or other.

Clamwin Portable Database update

Submitted by PegZ on August 15, 2010 - 4:44am

Hi, I just installed on my memory stick, and ran Clamwin. It asked to update the virus datatabse, however, the update failed.
Is there a specific way to update the portable ClamWin database? Here's the failure pasted below...
Regards,
Kevin

ClamWinPortableDBUpdate.exe cannot write to db folder

Submitted by w nightshade on July 6, 2010 - 8:17am

I am running ClamWinPortableDBUpdate.exe v0.3.3, and when I do I get the following error:

ERROR: Can't create temporary directory ..\ClamWinPortable\Data\db\clamav-e30037
134ddd96a09378e26e465f5b5a.000016d8.clamtmp
Hint: The database directory must be writable for UID 0 or GID 0

as far as I can tell, the directory is writable, and if I do a manual update from the ClamWin GUI itself, it works fine.

Can anyone provide any insight? I find the updater VERY useful, and would hate to go back to manually running updates if I don't absolutely have to.

ClamWin: Trouble getting "incremental" update of the daily

Submitted by Tim Clark on June 20, 2010 - 3:34pm

I'm having a problem updating and would like to see if it's a "just me" situation or if anyone else is having a problem.

Does anyone know what this means

Hint: The database directory must be writable for UID 0 or GID 0

My problem seems to be with getting the incremental update, it fails and so has to download the full daily.cvd instead of patching it to become daily.cld, which means dowloading 2 MBs as opposed to a few KBs, or 6 minutes as opposed to a few seconds on a modem.

This has happened to me 4 times.
