I just wanted to note that ClamAV seems to have changed it's policy on it's online scans through Jotti
http://virusscan.jotti.org/

and VirusTotal
http://www.virustotal.com/en/indexx.html

In the past the online versions were set to Advanced, find Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUA).

It currently "seems" to NOT be doing this.
I detected 3 False Positives the other day (2 in C:\i386 !!!)
I reported them to Clam today and decided to upload to our 2 standard testing sites to see how long before they were updated.
They were not detected.

Greetings, I am setting up Clamwin to incorporate a pre-scan in my work-flow. I have a write-protection lock on my USB (using a SD card with hardware write-protection). Heres the thought:

1) Plug in the locked device
2) Run clamwin to scan the programs in memory
3) Asses risk and walk away, or
4) Unplug, unlock, unencrypt, and go about my business.

So, I need Clamwin to work in both modes (write protected, and open) so that I can keep DB up to date, etc.

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.

i downloaded the suite which im inpressed with however when i activated the anti virus programme it stated i needed to upgrade to the new version the problem is ive tryed to setup the new version but i keep getting an error warning that says the file is corrupted. ive downloaded it three times so far ive opted to run/ and save but the outcome is the same no matter what i do.i dont know if a virus could be preventing me from setting it up or if windows onecare interupting the download is causing the problem . any advice etc would be appreciated.

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.

Is it better then avira antivir or bitdefender free edition?
Why was ClamWin chosen as portableapps.com antivirus?

First post!
I have been lurking around here for some months, but finally signed up!
I must say it's a great site, with lots of great portable apps!

Keypass Password Safe, has been updated to v1.11.
Just a notice

I'm wondering if somebody knows the best way to set up my clamwin, I'was checking the preferences and i don't Know if my preferences are ok.
I'm talking about:
*General
*Filters
*Archives
*Proxy
*Advanced
I appreciate your time!!!!
