I installed successfully clamav (I used the package of Mateusz Viste)
I've got an internet connection working on my dos freedos box.
I tried to use freshcla.exe but it fires up an error :

Can't parse the config file /dev/env/DOSDIR/bin/clamd.conf

I ran the command in c:\fdos\bin\

Another strange thing is that sometimes it can't load the the
dictionary, sometimes it can.

It think that a virus database should be available, either in the
program package or better in a seperate package. But I think a lot of
people who don't have an internet connection available freedos will be
happy to have a database available. And those persons using freedos in
order to run their old programs/games/demos don't really care about
last viruses, they just want to check their files for eventual old
viruses. Now if they download warez on the net, that's another story.
