ClamWin: clamscan for command line usage not portable?

Submitted by guestt on March 15, 2007 - 10:07pm

I wanted to use clamscan (the command line tool) in comb ination with downloadscan (http://downloadstatusbar.mozdev.org/downscan/). Clamscan brings always error message that the database file can not be found.

Could you make the command line tool portable aswell? Would be damm usefull.

ClamWin version 0.90.1 errors

Submitted by Frank D. Hubeny on March 13, 2007 - 1:42pm

Hello Group;

I have just tried out the new ClamWin Portable. It tries to open up a temporary file and fails. From there on it just gives you error messages.

The message says invallid argument. It looks like it is trying to open a very long temporary file and the last item on the list has a "/" then invalid argument.

I would give you the entire line but it does not save the errors to the log file.

It all so does a lot of writing to my USB drive. Version "88.7" does not. So I am back to useing it.

this is just and information post not a flame.

The following began to occur a couple of days ago. It was After the "lock" "ini" situation but Not immediately so I believe it is NOT related.

When Updating CWP it looks like this,

When I select Tools -> Download Virus Database Update, I get the following

I wasn't sure how serious the LibClamAV error was. I did not get that when using 0.88.7.
