clamscan to check dos .exe files

2011-12-26 Thread Sthu Deus
Good time of the day.


How do I scan dos .exe files w/ clamscan? Or it is impossible?

I have downloaded a windos exe and want to try it w/ wine. But first I
want to check it but clamscan seems does not scan it - in its
statistics it shows zero data scanned.


Thanks for Your time.

Have you run the updates?

It should just work. eg.:-

scott@work:~/.cxoffice/default/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer$
clamscan iexplore.exe
iexplore.exe: OK

--- SCAN SUMMARY ---
Known viruses: 1097623
Engine version: 0.97.3
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 0
Data scanned: 0.02 MB
Data read: 0.02 MB (ratio 1.00:1)
Time: 10.355 sec (0 m 10 s)


Cheers

Weird. For me, sometimes it does, sometimes, not:

$ clamscan INSTALL.EXE 
--- SCAN SUMMARY ---
Known viruses: 1098882
Engine version: 0.97.3
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1

$ clamscan setup.exe
--- SCAN SUMMARY ---
Known viruses: 1098882
Engine version: 0.97.3
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 0
Data scanned: 0.00 MB
Data read: 203.75 MB (ratio 0.00:1)
Time: 5.209 sec (0 m 5 s)

Do You know if it scans for viruses in FLAC / video - format files?

It will scan multimedia files (if you mean - for virus).

I don't think it does Data Loss Protection (structured) scans by default
though - check your settings.

By default heuristics and phishing scans is off. I don't know if flac is
capable of being used to download malicious code but you could alway
enable phishing scans and try piping the flac through clamscan.

Best ask those questions of clamav:-
