Any idea when a new portable version will be forthcoming?

just installed clamwin portable for the first time. at first, a message comes up saying that there is no virus database, do i want to download the latest, and i say yes, and it begins. but then it says, first, that the version (88.5) is old and eventually says that it cannot install a virus database at all. when i try to do a scan anyway, the scan button is grayed out. Here is the log:

freshclam daemon 0.88.5 (OS: win32, ARCH: x86, CPU: i686)
ClamAV update process started at Sun Dec 03 19:17:57 2006
main.cvd updated (version: 41, sigs: 73809, f-level: 10, builder: tkojm)
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!

I'm looking for a way to do the off-line rootkit detection tool.
Is it possible to store the signtures on USB while launcing the AV from a LiveCD?

Just to let someone know that Spyware Dr. Detects clawinportable.exe as Trojan.Popuper.Downloader. I did check the file on several multi engine scans and it does come out negative. I have reported the issue to spyware Dr. but I have not had any news yet....

You can find the (Clean) scan result for the possible false positive detection here:

Hi there, I have just installed ClamWinPortable 0.88.5 as part of the PortableApps Suite on a USB 80GB portable hard drive. During installation I received the "You have not yet downloaded Virus Definitions Database". I updated the database. I can select and scan one or more files using the Scan Selected Files button but if I select a folder or a drive letter and use the Scan Selected Files button ClamWin crashes with the "ClamWin Anitvirus has encoutered a problem and needs to close.." error. This doesn't happen if I click the Scan Computer Memory button.

I have downloaded just the ClamWin installation file from PortableApps and installed it independently from the suite but the same thing happens.

I tried to upgrade to ClamWin 0.88.5 today on a Windows 2000 SP4 machine with .Net version 1,0,4322,0 but I keep getting an error:
freshclam.exe - unable to locate dll
the dynamic link library MSVCR80.DLL could not be found in the specified path...

I tried downloading the msvcr80.dll but then I got another error:
freshclam.exe - application error
the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). click ok to terminate the application.

Everything I can find via search engines state that this may be a .Net 2.x issue. Can anyone out there confirm this for me? Thanks.

I'm running Norman Antivirus Control (NVC) as virus scanner. When I extracted the Portable ClamAV (ClamWin_Portable_0.88.4.exe) to my harddrive, NVC detected malware inside the PortableClamAV.exe.

You can find a screenshot here:

Translation of the (Dutch) text inside the image:
-------------------
Norman Virus Control has found a trojan and placed it in quarantine.

Location: S:\......\ClamWinPortable\ClamWinPortab.exe
Trojan: Zlob.APB
-------------------

I'm really sure that it's the correct versio

I noticed last week that ClamWin started telling me about updating to 0.88.5 when I update the virus definitions. Is there a new portable version in the works as well? Or, is there a way I can update my portable version to 0.88.5?

Thanks,
Jay
