[false alarm] Clamwin portable 0.93 suspected as virus

Submitted by zooz on April 22, 2008 - 8:45am

I have a weird thing with the file ClamWin_Portable_0.93.paf.exe.

Every time I execute it my real time antivirus (ca's etrust 7.1) yells at me that there is a virus at:

c:\documents and settings\[myusename]\local settings\temp\ns[changing number sequence]\system.dll

When I scan (with ca etrust antivirus) the clamwin_portable_0.93.paf.exe file it doesn't detect anything.

can not open keepass due to write protection

Submitted by deemcgee on April 19, 2008 - 9:26pm

I installed Keepass Portable and thought everything was ok however when I reinstalled my USb Thumb drive the next time I get this message " The disk cannot be written to because it is write protected. Please remove the write protection from the volume in drive F:" The thumb drive is not write protected with the tab that is on the left hand side of the drive so I quess it's the Keepass software that is preventing it from being written to.

Also Keepass does not automatically start when I insert the usb drive. I've tried my password several times to no avail.

ClamWin: Outdated

Submitted by MattNW on March 5, 2008 - 12:16am

I just downloaded the portable version of ClamWin. When updating the definitions it says the app is out of date. On the FAQ page of the portable version it says to update the app all I need to do is download it again to my USB drive but the download I have there now is barely 24 hours old. Does the portable ClamWin have a different version number that makes the downloader think it's outdated or is the PortableApps version on the Source Forge site actually outdated? If so where do I get a recent portable version?
