ClamWin: What is the purpose of this app?

Submitted by Anthony A on December 2, 2007 - 2:08pm

Could someone explain what the purpose of this app is please. From what I am reading it doesn't provide active virus protection because it doesn't run resident on the thumb drive. So what does it do? Does it just do an on demand scan of the thumb drive? If so could you not just use a antivirus program that is already on the machine to scan the drive or am I missing something here? Thanks.

ClamWin: "The system cannot execute the specified program."

I can run my instance of ClamWinPortable from my USB key just fine at my workplace where I use a Dell machine with WinXP Pro in an ActiveDirectory domain on which I have local administrator privileges.

However, recently my home machine (WinXPsp2 Home, ASUS M/B, AMD 3500+) has refused to run ClamWinPortable complaining about the configuration. When I either try to download new virus signatures or simply do a scan I get the same dialog which displays the command that was to be executed and states that it can't do it because of system configuration.

ClamWin Portable won't start in Windows ME

Submitted by limextreme on November 6, 2007 - 8:35am

Hi! I have just downloaded ClamWin to scan my old PC for viruses. It was able to start without any bugs or glitches when I used it on my Windows XP computer but when I try to run it on my Windows ME, it won't start at all. I just see the splash screen, then it disappears but ClamWin doesn't appear at all. Is there something I need to do for it to work on Windows ME? I've tried using the launcher at the X:/PortableApps/ClamWinPortable/ClamWinPortable.exe and the executable in the BIN folder but still it won't run. Please help. Thanks in advance.
