New Version of ClaimWin is out!

v 0.88.3

Install this version and overwrite the portable version the path:

..App\clamwin\bin
..App\clamwin\lib

Hello Group;

I am not a programer and usually just wait for the newer versions to appear on portableapps. So this is just a question.

Is it not possible to manually copy over the newer files or has John tweaked them in some way that a non programer can not do.

If it is a simple thing to do could someone let me know. Then perhaps people could update the files occasionaly and not be in a rush to have someone else do this.

*NOTE*

I am not trying to compete in any way with portableapps. I would do this only for myself if it is possible.

Hi,

May I know where can I download the latest version of portable clamwin?

I just recently noticed that Portable ClamWin stores the Drive Letter of the first start in the profiles. This can be rather tricky when working with different drive letters. When the drive letter is removed, upon next downloads of the virus definitions (or even during updates) the drive letters will be stored again in the profile.
Could anybody find a solution (or patch) to permanently remove the storage of drive letters in the profile. The path starting from "\" would be sufficient (like on Portable Thunderbird, Firefox, etc.)

Regards,

I'm using a USB Flash drive with the ClamWin installed -- it will work on an XP machine, but not on a Win98SE machine.

Are there files missing in order for this to run on an W98SE machine?

Can you suggest a workaround that will make this work.

Thanks in advance.

I love the FF extension ClamGlue, and i like how Winpooch is able to hook ClaimWin, but this all seems to work if Clam is installed on the hard-drive, not on the USB.

So my question is, how would i go about getting portable ClamWin to integrate with Winpooch (on the USB) and portable FF + the ClamGlue extension?

Is this even possible?

With a little trial and error I've managed to set up pFirefox to use my install of pClamWin AV to automatically scan downloads. I am using the Download Statusbar 0.9.4.1 extention and used the example from the ClamWin website for enabling virus scans in Winzip. It required one change to keep pClamWin AV from choking on the spaces in the filename.

From the ClamWin website (http://www.clamwin.com/content/view/117/89/):
Scan Program: C:\Program Files\ClamWin\bin\ClamWin.exe
Parameters: --mode=scanner --path="%d" --close

In the Virus Scan tab of the extension options:
Anti-Virus program location: G:\Portable Apps\PortableClamWin\PortableClamWin.exe

I tried to put Clamwin into U3 format but I get a problem when I tried to download the new virus definitions:

Could not start process:
"C:\Program Files\ClamWin\bin\freshclam.exe" --stdout --datadir="C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/.clamwin/db" --config-file="c:/docume~1/than/locals~1/temp/tmp8vuov6" --log="c:/docume~1/than/locals~1/temp/tmpizwjzu"
Error: Could not start process.
C:\Program Files\ClamWin\bin\freshclam.exe
File does not exist.

it was clear that Clamwin doesn't recognise the drive letter (mine was H:) so it goes to drive C:

I didn't edit anything yet. So I think I have to edit a perimeter somewhere so that ClamWin would recognise the U3 drive letter.

I just download portable ClamWin 0.88.2.3, but i can not extract the file to my flashdisk. It's show messsenge ClamWin 0.88.2.3.exe is not supported archive..
Please, i want to install this apps hurry.. THX.

Is there anyway I can auto update? any switches etc.

Currently I run a few things when I first run up PStart, and would like to update clamwin too. I tried the freshclam.exe but it wants a config, which is clamd.conf (the linux name from what I recall)... I tried pointing it to the ClamWin.conf but it looks like these are not the same.

Also, the clamwin/ and app/clamwin/ folders have the same files... is there any reason for this?
