Whoah - that clamwin is definitely timely yordan!

Edit: Hang on... looks like this might be a USB distro. I see it has a "setup.exe"... does it run within Windows? Can I run it in my friends computer with no install?

I was talking about a standalone distro for ClamWin, also known as portable Clamwin, you put it on an USB stick and you run it (clicking on the exe file on the stick) and ask for scanning a folder on the stick or on the hard drive. And it self-updates the virus definitions when it's on a system connected to the internet. You find it here : http://portableapps.com/apps/security/clamwin_portable

 

a first exe is a self-expanding file, expands the whole folder on your USB stick. And then you run from the expanded folder.

The self-expanding compressed file is named something*paf.exe, and the extracted executable file is named ClamWinPortable.exe

Well, I have to say I'm not having much fun with PotableApp ClamAV.

 

For my own computer usage, my "virus fix" is that I don't use Windows... haven't since about ten years ago. Linux all the way for me and very happy.

 

...which is the reason I that while I do have one (test) windows computer, that machine is not connected to the internet.

 

So then, I downloaded PortableClamAV onto a USB along with the latest database virus... both http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

 

I ran the USB installer on my Windows computer (telling it to install on the USB) and put the database files into E:\ClamWinPortable\Data\db\. The program (looking under HELP menu) now thinks it's updated but on running a scan, it says "MD5 Verification Error" and scans 0 files, despite me having highlighted a bunch to scan in the GUI.

 

I can't see where any MD5sum files are.

 

Not being on the 'net with this Windows test machine I can only update manually. Their forums were hopeless (loads of finds of errors nothing like mine). Any ideas on how I can successfully set PortableClamAV up?

 

 

EDIT: No worries... installed ClamAV on my usual Linux box, stole the virusdb from there... those ones worked.
