ClamWin: What is this error: Could not start process ??

Submitted by zogus on June 8, 2009 - 6:47pm

I started ClamWin and it asked to update viruses, which I said yes to. It then started the update process, but I get this message:

Could not start process:
".\freshclam.exe" --stdout --datadir="..\..\..\Data\db" --config-file="c:\docume~1\jhhlib~1\locals~1\temp\tmp_9ol8j" --log="c:\docume~1\jhhlib~1\locals~1\temp\tmp7a0tio"
Error: Could not start process.
.\freshclam.exe
File does not exist.

I had this before for a previous version. I updated and it seemed to work fine, but it has happened again.

ClamWin ver is 0.95.1.

ClamWin: ClamAV main.cvd Update [FYI] 05/14/09

Just a note:
The main.cvd for ClamAV/Win/portable is updating from

50 to 51

If you have high speed access the most efficient way to do the update is to directly download the file from here:

http://www.clamav.org/download/cvd
after deleting your current main.cvd

If you allow it to update itself you will get a
46 MB main.cld instead of a nice compact 20 MB main.cvd

don't forget to delete your current daily.cld also if you use this method, the new daily.cvd is only 137kb

Remember:

delete
...\ClamWinPortable\Data\db\main.*
...\ClamWinPortable\Data\db\daily.*

and

Keepass Sync

Hey guys and gals,

sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find it in search.

I'm wondering if there is a portable version of the keepassSync plug-in?
http://keepass.info/plugins.html#keepasssync

I use keepass on my home computers, work computer and carry it on two flash drives as well. It's a bit of a pain any time I update or add a password having to update all those DB files. Would be useful to be able to have one remotely stored DB file that updates/overwrites local ones when you run the sync program.

ClamWin and AVG Picked Up Viruses

Submitted by eltonbrad on May 3, 2009 - 3:17am

Hi all,

Look, I have AVG AntiVirus Free 8.0 and the latest version of ClamWin installed on my computer. I have ClamWin scheduled to do a C:\ scan on Thursday nights and E:\ (my external hard drive) on Saturday night and AVG scans both drives on Friday night. This is what ClamWin came up with on my scan last night:

Scan Started Sat May 02 22:00:06 2009
