Security Apps Support

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

I use keepass for my privat and other password-save. I also use different browsers (IE,FF, Chrome) in different environments. Now I want to use Auto-Type to fill UID/PW fields within the browsers.
With one configuration, it works well for FF and Chrome. When I apply the Auto-Type sequence to IE, the password filed is filled, but obviously the inserted pw is not correct. When I insert the PW with copy and paste (out of keepass) it works well.
What is the problem / solution?

Several weeks ago, I used ClamWin on a thumb drive to check a computer hard drive for suspected viruses. After noting several instances, I terminated the virus check and shut off the computer.

Now my thumb drive will no longer work in any machine. It is not recognized and I cannot get the activity light (for lack of a better term) to glow. I've even attempted to use Windows Manage fuction and format the drive to no avail.

Hello, I don't know if someone besides me has noticed, but ClamWin DETECTED Xenon (another portable app) as a trojan.. I'll post the report some other time.. For now, can someone please enlighten me on this one? Thanks! More power to PortableApps!

And yes... I've read a report that a ClamWin (NOT a portable app) detected the XenonPortable installer as having a Trojan.. I'm talking about BOTH ClamWin and Xenon as portable apps above...

Sorry, I'm no expert.. I just want to know why, I love learning something new. Please be patient! :S

Hi everybody!
I would like to know, how can I protect my pendrive from virus, worms, malwares, etc.
I use my Portable in College, Work, my girlsfriend home...
and i'm would like to ask for some way to protect it, for example, some sofwtare "write protect" that don't allow any program of damned virus to write in my portable USB, or some kind of "USB firewall protect" that would have the same function...
thx in advanced ^^
