The update download utility will not work. It just continues to cycle and cycle without any files being downloaded. This started with CWP 0.93.1. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround to load the flash drive with the current definition files?

Suppose I generate a password for gmail and I want read my mail on my cellular phone I think the very long pass is very difficult to type on the phone isn't it? Is there any form to copy the correct pass?
Thanks on advance

I just scanned my flash drive with ClamWin Portable. Here is the log:

Using latest version and latest DB update and after memory scan today, received message that AV engine was out of date. Is this being updated in a newer version not released or how does one update this?

Hi,

I installed ClamWin Portable on my Transcend Flashget pen drive from windows XP. Now when i use it on my other computer which has windows 98 installed (and no antivirus) the application from the pen drive does not run. And thus my pen drive gets infected with some unwanted .exe files. What should I do to make CalmWin run from my pen drive on windows 98?

Please help.

I don't think this is a bug, certainly not a ClamWin portable one, but I thought I'd point it out anyway.

I'm using an old 64 Mb USB drive (I know, I know, but I never throw out anything) with just ClamWin Portable on it, no PortableApps menu. When I updated to 0.93.1, I noticed that the installed folder was using ~45 Mb on the stick, ~32 Mb of it being the main.cld file.

Hey I have not tried ClamWin yet.

Have avast! 4.8 on my PC (not on portable)

Do ClamWin conflict with avast!4.8?

... Normal it is not good to have two anti-virus programs ...

Well. I guess ClamWin only is needed on those PCs, who not already have an anti-virus programme... Or ??!!

Tell me about it.

I am Curious

There is an interesting discussion going on in the FFP forum about using a FF Add-On called "Download Statusbar" to automatically invoke CWP to scan files downloaded by FFP.

I post this for the benefit of those who might not use the tracker or visit the FFP forum often.

Discussions of this subject should be carried on there at the topic linked to above.

FWIW The current Portable ClamWin download no longer supports virus database updates. According to the update's error msg it's too old.

Reading CVD header (main.cvd): Ignoring mirror 199.184.215.2 (too often connections with outdated version)

I just updated my ClamWin and scanned my thumb drive and it found two Trojan's, both of which are in my PortableApps folder. The first "Trojan" found, is probably a false positive (I bet ClamWin doesn't recognize my Nintendo emulator). However, the second one is linked to my FileZilla and it concerns me.

Here's the report:
