Security Apps Support

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.

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:

Anyone using clamwinportable knows from the menu that you can scan the host computer memory for viruses.
I am using a 3rd party app called "applauncher" that provides command line options.

My question-I want clamwin to automatically scan the host computer memory when I insert my usb. It currently opens on the host, but I manually have to select the option to scan memory.

Can someone please provide me with the command line option to run the scan automatically?

Thanks!

anybody seen that?

but if it works?! no idea

When I try to launch ClamWinPortable.exe via \\another-computer, it says I need to configure the settings (if I do so, it saves them in the local %APPDATA% under ".clamwin").

When I copy over to the local computer ClamWinPortable.exe, and create ClamWinPortable.ini with \\ paths, when launching that ClamWinPortable.exe I get an error telling me to re-install.

Am I supposed to use ClamWinPortable.exe or is it nothing but a splash screen shortcut to ClamWin.exe? If not and I must use it, can I pass ClamWin.exe's command line parameters to it?

Thanks!
