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.

ClamWin: How do I keep my USB & Desktop Secure & Safe?

Submitted by lunar on November 15, 2009 - 2:10am

Greetings!

I'm new to using USBs and portable apps and I need advice.

How can I keep my usb & desktop secure & safe from viruses/malware?

Do I need to format the usb prior to using? If so, how?

If I want to erase everything and clean the usb to reuse it, do I need a special app for that or just delete?

I will be downloading Clamwin and SpyDLLRemover Portable, but do I also need something like Panda Vaccine for my desktop or any other program(s)? What about Autorun-Eater?

I've also come across an app that you can use to have a password for more security. Which is the best?

Upgraded CWP from 0.95.2 to 0.95.3 using in place upgrade [install over old version]

Previous Settings were lost
[i.e., Filters (files extensions to ignore), and
UNchecked "Unload Infected Programs from Computer Memory" (a risky default setting in cases of FPs]

Basically, ClamWin.conf in /data/settings was deleted.
