Security Apps Support

I just uploaded the ClamWin updated today and when I start the virus scan it reads:

ERROR: Malformed database

What can I do to get the program running again?

With a lot of apps getting out of date with the latest version
may mean only a feature or two missing or some bug fixed (or new
bug introduced.) Mostly not crucially important.

Seems that ClamWin should be up to date regardless if a new portable apps
format or launcher is ready.

Am I wrong to not want to rely on portable ClamWin?

It is so nice to have it on USB and go from computer to computer feeling fairly
sure I am scanning for virii with a clean device.

Hi All

I've setup my Portable Apps pendrive to use Putty's socks option which should allow me to access my home system (in theory) from anywhere where there is an open port.

My question is, is it possible to manually setup ClamWin to use Socks4 as currently the proxy option seems to default to 5 and not accessing putty's socks port.

Thanks

Paul

Hi

Is there going to be an updated version of Clamwin Portable or is there a way to somehow put the new 0.96.0.1 version in place of the 0.95.0.3 that i have?

Microsoft Security Essentials flagged a threatening virus in my local settings folder while I was running Clamwin. How can this be with open source? Any ideas or am I misguided somewhere? Please help.

A reader reminded us of the impending April 15 deadline for the support of ClamAV version 0.94 and earlier. ClamAV will be releasing signatures greater than 980 bytes on May 15. ClamAV version 0.94 and earlier will not be able to deal with these. To prevent issues on April 15 there will be a signature released that effectively disables version older than 1 year (version 0.94 and earlier). The application will not start.

Hi i have been using the 1.14 Version for some time now. And i am wondering now 2.10 is available on http://keepass.info/download.html How do i open it up so i can install it on my memory stick. Or will Portable apps be issuing this new version.

Much help needed, as i am not a programmer like most of you are on this site......So no insults please.
Thanks:)

Looking for a CLI to Clamwin-Portable.

Thanks!!

I used ClamWin to scan a computer (Dell w/ XP SP3) I was given. At the end of the scan I was prompted to insert my SP3 disk (ya, right) to replace deleted files. I clicked what options I could find that seemed to "undo" what ClamWin but...

Anyway, it won't boot. I now have a SP3 disc. The computer has the full MS Office suite installed. Is there an easy way to save the installation?

Here is the report of the ClamWin session:

\CardSpace.db: Permission denied
C:\Documents and Settings\Don & Betty\Local Settings\Temp\nst6F.tmp: Permission denied
