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.

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.

RE: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV
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.

RE: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV
The official download from Clam wouldn't install on my Windows 2003 box. It said it only supports Windows 7, Vista, told me to go pound sand, yada yada. The stuff at oss.netfarm.it didn't come with very much in the way of instructions, but the ClamAID stuff did and it was also familiar with Declude so it gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling. It also didn't look like clamav-win32-0.96.7z was going to set up FreshClam as a service, or at least didn't mention it, and I hate installing random product just to see what it does. Not dissing anything, just explaining why I chose it. You're completely right. I'm completely clam-n00b. I've never worked with ClamAV, don't know its parts and pieces from a racoon skin hat, and was grateful to have a nice page of instructions (thanks, ARM!), especially on how to test it before configuring Declude.Also, the ClamAID example used the .conf file in their Declude config, while the Declude example didn't.

Re: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV
Michael, I created a step-by-step guide a little over a year ago for the proper installation. It's pretty simple to do. I can't say however if the steps have changed in the latest release, and obviously the version that I linked to is old now and should be updated. So here are my abridged directions for a standard install. 1) You need 7zip installed (http://www.7-zip.org/), and to open files in 7zip, you open the file manager and double click the 7z or ZIP files. 2) Download the Current Stable code from http://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/ For Windows 32bit, it would be clamav-win32-0.94.2.7z 3) Create a directory structure with C:\ClamAV and also create a sub-directory of C:\ClamAV\DB Put the files from the above 7z file into C:\ClamAV 4) Run C:\ClamAV\clamav.reg to put some directory entries into the registry. These are by default pointing to the directory structure that I am using. 5) From a command prompt run C:\ClamAV\freshclam.exe --datadir=C:\ClamAV\DB --daemon-notify This will download the latest definitions and let the service know to reload them if new ones are found. You want to schedule a task to run this every 15 minutes (there is virtually no load if no updates are available). There is no need to install freshclam as a service. 6) From a command prompt run C:\ClamAV\clamd --install This will install the ClamWin Free Antivirus Scanner Service You then want to edit the service properties to start automatically, and set your recovery options to restart the service. 7) Download the ClamAV GUI Wrapper from http://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/ You only need one file from this zip, ClamAV-GUI.exe, and yo uwant to place that in C:\ClamAV This is a simple GUI for scanning files and directories and can be useful. You can create a short-cut for it if you want. 8) Configure Declude for ClamAV with the following (it is probably best to have this as the first scanner since it is the fastest): SCANFILE1 C:\ClamAV\ClamDScan.exe --quiet --no-summary -l report.txt VIRUSCODE1 1 REPORT1. 9) Check your virus logs for Virus scanner 1 reports in order to verify that it is running. Note, if you want to use a non-default location, you will need to change the location in the following three things (don't quote me on this) 1) clamav.reg 2) clamd.conf 3) The freshclam.exe --datadir argument Matt On 4/29/2010 4:14 PM, Michael Cummins wrote: The official download from Clam wouldn't install on my Windows 2003 box.

Thanks John, Yes, that'll work too. Of course, rather than you having to modify the source code of 2 or 3 modules for every build - or me having to write a report file parser, the REAL solution is for Declude to provide at least a minimum amount of flexibility in parsing report files (or - to integrate the ClamLib and eliminate any command line needs).

The sherpya Clam port at oss.netfarm.it is very easy to build and use, and there are only about 10 lines of code in 2 or 3 modules where you need to add a VirusName- prefix before the actual name of the virus so Declude can pick it up in the report file. I just mod the code and recompile instead of trying to manipulate the report file. I do not use any sort of installer. I just setup the conf files, spawn a clamd process on startup, schedule a freshclam run periodically, and point Declude to the clamdscan scanner.

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. david On Jun 8, 2009, at 7:37 AM, Andy Schmidt wrote: 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.

re: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV
I've been using the SOSDG version of ClamAV (http://www.sosdg.org/clamav-win32) with no problem. The is the same version/port of ClamAV that SmarterMail ships with their product. The trick is setting it up to run as a service with runclamscan and runclamd. These are included with ClamAV in the thirdparty directory. This is what I have in virus.cfg: SCANFILE1 C:\clamav-devel\thirdparty\runclamscan\runclamscan.exe log=2 C:\clamav-devel\bin\clamdscan.exe --quiet -l report.txt VIRUSCODE1 1 REPORT1 FOUND Original Message From: Bonno Bloksma [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 1:45 PM To: Declude.Virus@declude.com Subject: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV Hi, Been using the old F-prot v3 as a second scanner but I disabled it today. As the new F-prot 6 scanner is not allowed with Declude, well sort of but I don't want to pay that mucht ;-) I wanted to use ClamAV asn an extra scanner. In the past it was a bit dificult I seem to remember but Is it realy as easy as 1-2-3 today? Go to http://w32.clamav.net/ and download - The Windows msi file - The initial virus sigantures - Pthreads (I seem to need it). Install the msi Copy the initial signature files to C:\Program Files\clamAV\data or something like it. But then Make sure the sig files are updated... but how? Let Declude (according to http://www.declude.com/searchresults.asp?Cat=124) call ClamAV using: SCANFILE [Drive:]\[Path]\bin\clamscan.exe --quiet --log-verbose --no-summary --max-ratio 0 -l report.txt Which would probably translate to SCANFILE C:\Program Files\bin\clamscan.exe --quiet --log-verbose --no-summary --max-ratio 0 -l report.txt or would SCANFILE C:\IMail\Declude\Scanners\clamscan.exe --quiet --log-verbose --no-summary --max-ratio 0 -l report.txt be a better solution. There is also a clamscam.txt file in the C:\IMail\declude\scanners\ClamAV directory that seems to suggest something else. So where is a HOWTO to get it up and running with Declude?

Re: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV lstat() failed. ERROR
Gary, In order to scan the file I am sure Declude has to append the path to the files to scan otherwise how would the virus scanner know what to scan? It needs some type of path. Unless possibly it sets a working directory and expects the scanner to scan all the files in the working directory. I suspect it gets a path much like it calls an external application.

ERROR In pursuing the problem of the new worm with a password-protected RAR file, I found a problem with ClamAV. I'm running the SOSDG ClamAV Windows port version 0.90.2-2 (along with runclamd and runclamscan). Declude uses the following string: C:\clamav-devel\bin\clamdscan.exe --quiet -l report.txt If I try to use it at a command prompt, I get the lstat() failed error. If I type in the full path for my command string, such as C:\clamav-devel\bin\clamdscan.exe --quiet -l C:\temp\report.txt C:\temp\123456789.eml it works. The problem is that Declude scans a file in a different directory each time, so the path changes. So for Declude to work now, it would require a significant change in Declude. But ClamAV worked before. What changed? Can it be changed back? Is this a problem with ClamAV in general, or just with the SOSDG Windows port? Do the other ClamAV ports have this problem?

RE: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV lstat() failed. ERROR
I'll try to be more specific. What I have in my virus.cfg file is essentially what has been posted here on the list by several different people as the accepted info to put in the file. SCANFILE1 C:\clamav-devel\thirdparty\runclamscan\runclamscan.exe log=2 C:\clamav-devel\bin\clamdscan.exe --quiet -l report.txt VIRUSCODE1 1 REPORT1 FOUND So I should be able to type the following at a command prompt and have it work: C:\clamav-devel\bin\clamdscan.exe --quiet -l report.txt 123456789.eml It used to work, but now it doesn't. It generates the lstat error. After some experimentation, I found that typing the following does work: C:\clamav-devel\bin\clamdscan.exe --quiet -l C:\temp\report.txt C:\temp\123456789.eml and so does this: C:\clamav-devel\bin\clamdscan.exe --quiet -l report.txt C:\temp\123456789.eml In setting virus.cfg to DEBUG, it shows Declude creating the long pathname. But since it deletes the report.txt file, I can't see what is being generated. When I reprocess the new RAR file worm, the Declude log lines show ClamAV giving a return code of zero. When I do it from the command prompt, ClamAV says Email.Phishing.RB-686 FOUND. When I test another message that is an image spam that is picked up by the Sanesecurity phishing files, Declude finds it with ClamAV, and ClamAV finds it using the command prompt. So maybe this problem and the lstat error are unrelated.

What you define in Virus.cfg, e.g.: SCANFILEC:\Progra~1\Common~1\Networ~1\Engine\SCAN.EXE /LOAD D:\IMAIL\Declude\SCAN.CFG is only the START of the command line, to which Declude appends the full path for the file it tries to scan. So, if you defined: SCANFILEC:\clamav-devel\bin\clamdscan.exe --quiet -l report.txt and the Declude is processing the file c:\temp\123456789.eml then it would issue the command c:\clamav-devel\bin\clamdscan.exe --quiet -l report.txt c:\temp\123456789.eml I recommend you turn on the debug mode for Declude virus and then inspect the relevant lines of the log (or send them to the list so that we can take a look at it). Obviously, you'd also need to share your virus.cfg configuration so that we understand the context.

ERROR In pursuing the problem of the new worm with a password-protected RAR file, I found a problem with ClamAV. I'm running the SOSDG ClamAV Windows port version 0.90.2-2 (along with runclamd and runclamscan). Declude uses the following string: C:\clamav-devel\bin\clamdscan.exe --quiet -l report.txt If I try to use it at a command prompt, I get the lstat() failed error. If I type in the full path for my command string, such as C:\clamav-devel\bin\clamdscan.exe --quiet -l C:\temp\report.txt C:\temp\123456789.eml it works. The problem is that Declude scans a file in a different directory each time, so the path changes. So for Declude to work now, it would require a significant change in Declude. But ClamAV worked before. What changed? Can it be changed back? Is this a problem with ClamAV in general, or just with the SOSDG Windows port? Do the other ClamAV ports have this problem?

RE: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV 0.90.1-2 problems
I uninstalled 0.90.1-2 and reinstalled 0.90.1. It seems to be working okay. I ran the program (0.90.1-2) but removed the --mbox parameter. It then gave me an error message about --max-ratio. I removed that one, and it then gave me an error about --max-space. I removed that one as well, and it was finally able to run. But there was an error in the report.txt file: 62376245.eml: lstat() failed. ERROR For now I am just going to keep running with 0.90.1 and see how it goes.

RE: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV Exit codes
Looking at the physical/virtual memory utilization for this server displays a peak for this date/time (see attached mrtg graph - growleft) But the graph shows a similar peak for today around 16:00PM and clamd is still running without any result code 2. I will watch this. Thank you.

Re: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV sanesecurity definitions
Personally I haven't seen any false positives. I spot checked a few messages, and they were phish. All of the subject lines are definitely phishy. I whitelisted the Declude support lists, so I don't have any concerns about blocking the support lists. What I also liked was that it only took about 15 minutes to get it working with a scheduled task to update itself. - Original Message - From: Colbeck, Andrew To: Declude.Virus@declude.com Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 2:46 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV sanesecurity definitions Thanks, Scott.

Re: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV Footer ...
Andrew, Sandy is Sanford Whiteman. He is a regular, knowlegeable, and very appreciated contributor to this list. If you have been a member of this list for very long, you have certainly already seen some of his submissions. Sandy's submissions always have full contact information at the bottom. More importantly, I believe, is that Matt was alluding to the link at the bottom of this and every list submission. Using the mail-archive, you can look for one of Sandy's submissions, or search for past submissions about Sandy's Footer Application and inform yourself. The archives take a little getting used to, but they are a great wealth of information.

Its fresh off the compiler and should be working well. However, I've been notified of a serious issue surrounding ClamAV and Cygwin. Apparently, clamd.exe causes UDP ports to be opened for no reason, and they hang in the open state. The only way to really fix this is to kill off clamd.exe and restart it. I use a program from http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/processutil/processutil.htm which makes it rather easy to kill off clamd.exe cleanly. Using the regular clamscan.exe is the only way to completely avoid this issue - but you end up taking a major performance hit. We believe this problem is with Cygwin and not ClamAV, so theres limited I can do on my end until I can hash out the issue with a Cygwin developer.

Re: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV scan time
ClamAV when not run in daemon mode is very slow in comparison to other virus scanners. If your server is getting pushed to it's limits, the first sign will likely be their vir directories piling up as a result of ClamAV not finishing within the specified time configured in Declude Virus. I played around with daemon mode several months back, but there was an issue with the service not shutting down when you told it to, so I abandoned it for the time being. Maybe some others have information about how to do this properly now with newer builds. My log records the scan times. I did check when I read this and there are a few excessively long scan times. I checked about 10,000 entries. There were 360 scans that took longer than .5 sec. There were 206 that took 1 sec or longer. Also, I record the total time, the time to check to see if the service is running, and then the actual scan time. In my worst case these numbers were recorded: 13.3490,11.947,1.402. But notice that the middle number is the time to check to see if the service is running. This indicates to me that the issue is not with ClamAV but with the server load at the time of the scan. I know the server is being hammered anyway. I did check to see if there were any correlation between the file size and the long elapsed times and I really could not find any.

Re: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV scan time
Terry, Maybe if you could clarify. You are running ClamAV in daemon mode, am I correct? My point was that as of several months ago, the non-daemon installation was a processor hog and took a lot of time compared to F-Prot, the best performing scanner. Things might have changed since then. I also noted that when run in daemon mode, ClamAV was virtually as fast as F-Prot, and used less resources. I'm not running ClamAV because I had issues with the stability/management of their daemon at that time. I suspect that things have changed since then. Regardless, I would not be surprised to see the per-process launched ClamAV causing excessive load on a busy server. It wasn't clear if John was running one way or another. Hitting a 60 second timeout suggests that his server was being redlined for a prolonged period of time, and going to the daemon mode might provide substantial relief. If his other scanner isn't F-Prot, he should also think about switching because there is nothing as efficient as F-Prot, and it hardly uses any resources.

RE: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV scan time
FYI 1st scanner is F-Prot. 2nd is ClamAV. I am using the runclamscan wrapper found at http://www.smartbusiness.com/imail/declude/. Today I havent had any left over directories and vir*.log is clean of errors. It may have been the particular load at that time and message size as someone mentioned yesterday. John From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2004 10:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV scan time Terry, Maybe if you could clarify. You are running ClamAV in daemon mode, am I correct? My point was that as of several months ago, the non-daemon installation was a processor hog and took a lot of time compared to F-Prot, the best performing scanner. Things might have changed since then. I also noted that when run in daemon mode, ClamAV was virtually as fast as F-Prot, and used less resources. I'm not running ClamAV because I had issues with the stability/management of their daemon at that time. I suspect that things have changed since then. Regardless, I would not be surprised to see the per-process launched ClamAV causing excessive load on a busy server. It wasn't clear if John was running one way or another. Hitting a 60 second timeout suggests that his server was being redlined for a prolonged period of time, and going to the daemon mode might provide substantial relief. If his other scanner isn't F-Prot, he should also think about switching because there is nothing as efficient as F-Prot, and it hardly uses any resources. Matt Terry Fritts wrote: ClamAV when not run in daemon mode is very slow in comparison to othervirus scanners. If your server is getting pushed to it's limits, the first sign will likely be their vir directories piling up as a result of ClamAV not finishing within the specified time configured in Declude Virus.I played around with daemon mode several months back, but there was an issue with the service not shutting down when you told it to, so I abandoned it for the time being. Maybe some others have information about how to do this properly now with newer builds. My log records the scan times. I did check when I read this and there are a few excessively long scan times. I checked about 10,000 entries. There were 360 scans that took longer than .5 sec. There were 206 that took 1 sec or longer. Also, I record the total time, the time to check to see if the service is running, and then the actual scan time. In my worst case these numbers were recorded: 13.3490,11.947,1.402. But notice that the middle number is the time to check to see if the service is running. This indicates to me that the issue is not with ClamAV but with the server load at the time of the scan. I know the server is being hammered anyway. I did check to see if there were any correlation between the file size and the long elapsed times and I really could not find any.

Re: [Declude.Virus] clamav
I've spent another few hours playing around with this and when I call things correctly by starting clamd.exe and then configured Declude to run clamdscan.exe, the scan times went from 1 second to between 0.08 seconds up to 0.6 seconds across about a dozen scans. I also tracked this in performance monitor for an hour and found the average utilization of clamd.exe and clamdscan.exe combined to be about equal to that of F-Prot, but it had a couple very large peaks possibly hitting 100% momentarily, not sure what that was about. Note that Performance Monitor screws up the numbers and I consider it unreliable to assume something from just one hour of monitoring/stats. Clamd though is definitely a contender if some issues could be cleared up. I tried to use the Resource Kit's SRVANY.exe to create a service out of clamd.exe in a method similar to how the persistent version of Sniffer is run, but that doesn't work. Clamd.exe doesn't show up on the list of processes in Task Manager and the scan times go back to 1 second each. I have almost no experience in Unix environments, so I would be stabbing in the dark to figure out what was necessary to get this to work, but I would guess at it being a context issue. ClamAV would be a great backup scanner for Declude it seems if the daemon could be run without a kludge, and the reporting was modified to be compliant, or Declude was modified to accept various formats instead of just what follows a particular string. I suppose this could be done by having a before and an after definition instead of just a before. Terry, if you could explain the demime thing, that would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt Charles Frolick wrote: I never updated after I posted that. I need to find a way to start and check the clamd service. Since it runs Unix style under Cygwin, it creates an instance and is out of sight, it doesn't fire correctly from a service manager like fire daemon, at least not in the config I used. I have been real busy with migrating 2 acquired companies into our network, so I haven't played with it much. Something I thought I might try is a batch file or Perl script that is fired by Task Scheduler and runs Cygwin ps to see if it is running, and restart it if it is not.

Re: [Declude.Virus] clamav
Thanks for the explanation. I was hoping for something miraculous that might be of benefit, but it looks like Declude does all of this already. On a related topic, during my testing I found that while I was logged into my server with pcANYWHERE instead of Terminal Services, I kept seeing CMD windows pop up when AVG was scanning despite the /silent switch. I don't ever recall seeing that before, but it's rare that I log in with pcANYWHERE. Maybe there is something else happening here that isn't necessary. The folks from Grissoft were nice enough to add the return codes and maybe they could help make the command line more efficient??? I also tried AVG without a bunch of the switches and didn't notice any difference, though apparently adding the heuristic switch will increase the scan time. One of my thoughts to increase the efficiency of the environment would be to add a handler application for Declude Virus to call instead of doing it directly. You could for instance have the handler call the first scanner, wait for the code, and then only call the second scanner if it was a negative result, or also only if the attachment was below a certain size (large attachments are a big hit and viruses are very rare with such things). I also found a sample of one such batch program in the archives with a helper that reconfigured the report file into a format that Declude accepted. I'm not sure about how much overhead this would add, but it would probably be a net benefit. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03101.html I've been looking to do something similar with Sniffer (escape on existing high weight) but couldn't get the vbscript to work that supposedly would capture return codes. I'm thinking that this code sample might do the trick. I'm an awful hack though when it comes to programming though :) If anyone out there has interest in helping me do this, please don't hesitate to chime in. I'm on an efficiency kick as of late (if folks haven't noticed) based both on need and on my desire to not just throw more servers at the mix, primarily because after you outgrow the capacity that one machine can handle, you are forced into a more complicated load balancing methodology which is harder to manage and much more expensive after you add in the licensing. So far I've managed to trim a good deal of froth from my system without compromising the effectiveness by doing things such as moving mailfrom and ipfile filters into DNS, and even trimming massive blocks of comments from my custom filters. It's the good mail though that hogs the most processing power (thanks to SKIPIFWEIGHT) despite the lower volume, and tests like file size can be used to defeat expensive tests that aren't likely to be of use in such E-mail by using handler scripts and the new TESTSFAILED filter element. Matt Terry Fritts wrote: Terry, if you could explain the demime thing, that would be appreciated. I'm sorry - I've been tied up all day working on name server issues. The application I referenced earlier was an xmail mail server. Declude is not available for it so I wrote my own program that is called by xmail for messages. My program does something similar to what declude does but not nearly as well. Giving a message to either NAI or ClavAV is inconsequential because both of those programs will not dismantle the message into its mime parts (demime). As I said Fprot actually does a certain amount of demime itself. I don't know how declude accomplishes this but I know declude does something to make NAI and others scan the pieces of the message. In my case I use an external program (munpack I think it is). My program creates a temporary directory and then calls munpack with that directory and message path. munpack then takes the message and splits into the various mime segments. For instance there might be a text segment, an html segment, and a zip file attachment. It is quite common to have 4 or more files. Then my program next calls fprot, nai, and clamav in turn for that directory. Each of those programs scan all the files in the temp folder and create a report file. My program extracts the virus name from the report files if an infection is indicated, logs it, quarantines the message, and tells the mail server to delete the message (if infected). Finally my program does some spam checking including a call to the sniffer engine. I don't do a lot of stuff that declude does however. As for the daemon issue I'm going to look a that and see if I can figure some way to keep the thing loaded - just no time today.

Re: [Declude.Virus] ClamAV settings in virus.cfg
Are the settings for ClamAV in the Declude Virus Manual complete? Yes, but: SCANFILE C:\clamav-devel\bin\clamscan.exe --quiet --log-verbose --no-summary -l report.txt VIRUSCODE 1 I would have thought there would be a REPORT line. There isn't.

The standard format is to include the filename, followed by an identifier of some sort (virus found, infected, or anything that indicates that the E-mail isn't clean), and then the virus name. I believe the code that should be changed is in the checkfile( ) function in the manager.c file, where there are two references to %s: %s FOUND\n, which could be changed to %s: infected with %s\n or %s: FOUND %s\n.
