Just a note:
The main.cvd for ClamAV/Win/portable is updating from

51 to 52

If you have high speed access the most efficient way to do the update is to directly download the file from here:

http://www.clamav.net/
[see link for "main.cvd ver. 52 released on 15 Feb 2010 09:54 :0500"]
after deleting your current main.cvd

If you allow it to update itself you will get a
55 MB main.cld instead of a nice compact 22 MB main.cvd

don't forget to delete your current daily.cld also if you use this method, the new daily.cvd is only 224kb

Remember:

delete

ClamWin Definitions Doubling Up

Submitted by pbr on November 25, 2009 - 7:29pm

Has anyone noticed that there's something odd about ClamWin updates for the past couple days — that the definitions are downloading in duplicate? Seems like this would make for a pretty darn big daily.cld pronto. Here's my latest clamav report:

ClamAV update process started at Wed Nov 25 19:15:24 2009

ClamWin portable it is not really portable

Submitted by since2004 on November 16, 2009 - 6:23am

Hi all, I tried to use ClamWin Portable and noticed two problems:

- there is not a command switch on portableclamwin executable to call clamtray
- if I set clamtray.exe to start with windows it does not load preferences from portable folder
- there is not a switch in clamtray.exe to force it to load preferences from a file
- I was not able to locate the file which clamtray load settings from

with these problems clamwin portable it is not really usable, because you dont have it running in background for scheduled updates, scheduled scans, email notifications, and so on.
