Security Apps Support

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.

Hi all,

I have had clamwin installed for about two months now and never had a problem with it until now. I update the virus definitions everyday, often twice or three times a day. I went to update this morning and got the error below:

Could not start process:
".\freshclam.exe" --stdout --datadir="..\..\..\Data\db" --config-file="c:\docume~1\colonel\locals~1\temp\tmphwc-90" --log="c:\docume~1\colonel\locals~1\temp\tmpa7nlxj"
Error: Could not start process.
.\freshclam.exe
File does not exist.

Hi,

I just ran ClamWinPortable, and I get:

S:\PortableApps\PortableApps\ClamWinPortable\ClamWinPortable.exe: Trojan.Fraudload-2264 FOUND
----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------

I really think KeePass Professional Edition could be done portably if the PC installing the app has the necessary .net libraries installed, or download them from M$ site by an installer similar to the new Live ones (see Google Chrome Portable or Skype Portable)

I installed clamwin on a thumb drive, then after i updated the definitions, I scanned the thumb drive. A virus was found. I just figured that clamwin did what it needed to do to correct the virus problem, I ran it again and the same virus was found again. So my question is, what should I do?

the report read like this:
G:\Msinfo.msi: Trojan. Gadgo.20 FOUND

Known viruses: 611120

Thanks

Any way you guys could make a PA launcher for the actual current version of KeePass Password Safe, Professional Edition? I'm not sure if it'll work, but if it would, it would be very nice. Since that's what I run on my home computer, I have to import changed from my Portable version to my home version, and that gets a little annoying. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I´m searching for a german version of Claim.
Is anybody planing a mulitlangual installation?
I could translate the german part.

as in the one that goes on the mobile phone. Has anyone used it w/ Keepass Portable on the usb and it's "normal"?
