Andy, I must be blind as I try to install this ... I looked at the link below, and found multiple versions, but none of them have an installer ... are you installing the ClamWin version and not the versions are oss.netfarm.it ??? When I take about the archive, I find all of the files, but no setup.exe etc ...

Am I missing something from your instructions.

I also noticed when I put a logfile path in the freshclam.conf file directly, it stops working ... it just doesn't like that link ... very perplexed.

Hi David:

The best is http://oss.netfarm.it/clamav - because it's the same one ClamWin
is using and it's kept up-to-date. I don't recall any installation
difficulty. It did have a successful installer and is able to install itself
as a service.
There is a .REG file that sets up a registry entry where the path is stored.

In their registry, I chose to change the following (because I wanted to keep
the CONF files and the DB files out of the program code):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ClamAV]
"ConfigDir"="C:\\Progra~1\\ClamAV\\conf"
"DataDir"="C:\\Progra~1\\ClamAV\\db"

For FreshClam.conf, I changed these parameters to match my preference:

DatabaseDirectory "C:\Program Files\clamAV\db"
UpdateLogFile "C:\Program Files\clamAV\log\freshclam.log"
LogTime yes

For ClamD.conf, I changed these:

LogFile "C:\Program Files\clamAV\log\clamd.log"
LogTime yes
TemporaryDirectory C:\Temp
DatabaseDirectory "C:\Program Files\clamAV\db"

For the service, I removed the spaces from the path (not sure if this was
needed):

"C:\Progra~1\ClamAV\clamd.exe" --daemon

In Declude, I used:

#ClamAV
SCANFILE1       C:\Progra~1\ClamAV\ClamDScan.exe
VIRUSCODE1      1

Of course, that still leaves the problem of Declude having no decent virus report file parser (if you care about seeing the proper virus name in the proper location of the log files). For now, I still use a "middleware" to reformat the Report file before feeding it to Declude. If you don't care
about names, then this isn't necessary.

Best Regards,
Andy

I'm using an older version of ClamAV that needs to be updated as a
backup scanner.    Unfortunately, it is no longer being developed.

Has anyone tried the ClamID from ArmResearch or any other version of
ClamAV that is current that works with Declude?
