ClamWin: Scan on File Download

Submitted by trephin on April 23, 2007 - 12:19am

I have a couple of questions.

First, does using any ClamWin components without starting from ClamWinPortable.exe cause any problems after closing? In other words, does ClamWinPortable.exe perform any cleanup tasks like MirandaPortable.exe does?

Second, I would like to use ClamWin to automatically scan received files in Miranda. I am not sure what I should enter into the command line in miranda under virus scanning... I did read a couple of posts in both this forum and the Miranda forum but was still unclear of what to use. I tried using

KeePass: Reg Files?

Submitted by Patrick Patience on April 20, 2007 - 5:42pm

With the new release, it was working fine, but I just put it on another flash drive, and I started it, and when I finish setting up a new database, it drops something like pssafe.key reg entries in the root of my drive...I tried reinstalling. No luck. I tried downloading again too...:S

It doesn't delete the entries that I can see so far even after closing KeePass.

KeePass: Thanks. 1.07

Thanks for the new version. John, you just made a small typo in your comment, it says post a not, instead of note, I'm sure you would have noticed it anyways. I haven't read anything about this, now that it's standard support for all apps, like the installing and everything, where can I find the changelog?

KeePass Portable 1.06 and Plugins

Submitted by tanker on April 16, 2007 - 1:21pm

I downloaded the OublietteImport-1.06-2006.nov.07.r03.zip plug-in to import my info from Oubliette. After following the instructions for installing a plug-in on http://keepass.info/help/v1/plugins.html I found that the plug-in doesn't seem to be recognized in the plug-ins dialog.

Is there some thing different about loading a plug-in when using the portable version of KeePass?

Does the portable version support plug-ins?

TIA, Stan

ClamWin: SPEED - USB & HDD comparison

Submitted by jessejazza on April 13, 2007 - 12:49pm

As some folk have commented on its speed i thought i'd see if there was any difference between HDD/USB... obviously nothing better to do some would say - but no-one else has attempted these frontier's of research! Downloaded today's current version - put a copy on HDD and a copy on portableapps USB. USB is U1 and type 2.0 cable.

Test! was on another USB drive used for data storage not portable apps.

With avast still running (not such a good idea but i forgot to turn it off)
HDD - 1m 37s
USB - 1m 37s

With Avast turned off
HDD - 1m 10s
USB - 1m 10s

ClamWin.conf preservation

Cheetah's picture

Many of the portable apps launchers hang around until the app launched exits in order to do cleanup work. I think it would be helpful if the PortableClamWin launcher did this in order to manage ClamWin.conf. The idea would be to copy Data\ClamWin.conf to App\clamwin\bin\ClamWin.conf at startup (if it exists), and then at exit copy it back the other way. That way users (I) don't have to manaully save that file aside when upgrading.

ClamWin: How good?

Submitted by jessejazza on April 4, 2007 - 8:58am

I've just tried Clamwin scanning main hard drive. I didn't expect to find anything and have AVG installed. I have spyware which i run on a manual basis. Haven't had a virus for 5 yrs but i only use webmail (as opposed to email client) to rule out the main risk of catching a virus (IMHO).

Well this is what it found.
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWEBSEARCH\BAR\1.BIN\MWSOEMON.EXE:

I don't know if this is spyware that wasn't detected or a virus.

Grateful for feedback.

KeePass.ini - KeeLastDir

Submitted by werenomads on March 30, 2007 - 2:11pm

Could the portable app be modified to make the KeeLastDir in the INI file relative just like the KeeLastDb? If you modify it manually, it is just rewritten with the absolute path the next time you use KeePass.
Thanks
[KeePass]
KeeLastDir=F:\Portable\PortableApps\KeePassPortable\Data
KeeLastDb=..\..\Data\Database.kdb
