Security Apps Support

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Reading CVD header (main.cvd): Ignoring mirror 199.184.215.2 (too often connections with outdated version)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

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?

i just install it, it shows up in thunderbird as clam enable right down corner.
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!

Is there a way (through the program) to create a right click option and add shortcuts to the Start Menu?

Also, is the program trully portable or does it store registry keys like the original ClamWin (e.g. HKLM\SOFTWARE\ClamWin)?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I just found a small bug in portable version of KeePass. Where would be the right place to report it?

Thank you,
SAL-e

ps. My apology if this question has been asked, but my search came empty.

CORRECTION:
OPS.. It was my error. KeePass works perfectly now!

Anyone seeing this? I just scanned my USB flash drive and ClamWin Portable says that my OO 2.4 Portable is infected (I subsequently scanned with Symantec and it says nothing is infected).

ClamWin Portable output:

Is there a way too wipe out viruses and not just scan them?
If not, then thats 125 mb wasted on my usb drive.
