There really is no need for ClamAid, because the recent builds (including
oss.netfarm.it) already are able to install themselves as services, and the
additional ClamAid DLLs will obsolete once you install the "official"
version.

 

So unless you need help adding the 3 lines to the Virus.cfg, ClamAid
probably makes things unnecessary complicated...

In case this is helpful for someone else that isn't so great at rolling
their own Clams from the source code:

 

First, I installed ClamAID using the default options.  (SmarterMail /
Declude install for me)

 

http://www.armresearch.com/tools/arm/clamAID.jsp

 

This installs Clam 0.92, wraps it up as a service, wraps up FreshClam as a
service and gets everything pointed and configured for Declude to use.  It
includes pthreadVC2.dll , but I don't know if it uses it once we replace the
files here in a bit, because.

 

.when FreshClam goes to update the DB, it mangles the DB dies, because
version 0.92 isn't supported anymore.  

 

Immediately after installing ClamAID I stopped the ClamAVSvc and FreshClam
services and I commented out the lines it added in virus.cfg so I could get
it all running properly again.

 

I downloaded the clamav-win32-0.96.7z from http://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/ and
extracted the files to a folder.  I grabbed all the .exe and .dll files and
replaced the old ones in \Program Files\Clam AV.  I edited \conf\clamd.conf
and commented out the deprecated MailFollowURLs on line 226.  I deleted the
files in \data\ and crated a \db\.  I set the log levels in clamd.conf and
freshclam.conf to high so I could see things chugging along until I was
comfortable.  I hard set the database to \db\ in the conf files, and set
verbose logging.

 

I cranked up the services, and watched FreshClam download new profiles to
\db\.

 

Once the db was downloaded, I tested Clam from the command prompt as
described on the armresearch page, and everything looked like it was working
fine.

 

I uncommented the lines in Declude, restarted Declude, and watched it all
start humming.

 

Now I am just keeping an eye on things, and waiting for Clam to catch a
virus.
