[TBClamWin] The Bat ClamWin plugin

[Mancubus]

It doesn't create any log files, as I see. And this option in tbclamwin.conf, "logfile =" doesn't work at all.
And though it says in Voyager's status line, when it receives a letter, that it's being checked by anti-virus, I can't check what it really does.

In The Bat! - account status line: "AntiVirus say - it cannot check letter bla-bla-bla"

AFAIK, there can be some issues with Voyager & the portable versions of ClamWin; since I haven't really had any occasion to play with them, I haven't done any real world tests, at the moment. Just added the ability to specify the needed parameters on the alternate config files, thinking that was enough to make them working. I will try to get them and play ASAP, but surely not before the end of the week.

As for normal / current versions of The Bat! & ClamWin, instead, I have done some tests in various configurations, and don't noted anything wrong. That obviously don't mean that I rule out the presence of any bug, off course.

I have to say that I tried to "rush out" a new release as soon as I found some spare time, since it was from enough time that some things needed to be fixed.

One thing that I will surely add is some logging functions, so in case of issues there will be some data to help pin point any problems.

I also plan to port the plugin to FreeBASIC, and then release it as Open Source.

Thanks,
Bye!

Hello Mark0!

I am setup "ClamWin antivirus plugin 1.03" and "ClamAV for Windows (Version 0.91.2)" from here http://w32.clamav.net/downloads/clamAV.msi and got some problems.

If I setup pure install ClamAV and DO NOT run freshclam - it's all fine:
!22.08.2007, 22:58:29: ANTIVIRUS - C:\12\worm.win32.lovesan.zip: Worm.Blaster.E FOUND

But if I run freshclam and get updates, then:
"AntiVirus say - it cannot check letter...blah-blah-blah"

clamscan.exe works fine with all version DB (old or new):

C:\12>"C:\Program Files\clamAV\clamscan.exe" worm.win32.lovesan.zip
worm.win32.lovesan.zip: Worm.Blaster.E FOUND

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------

I try to mix old/new main.cvd/daily.cvd and see, that problems with "main.cvd" only.


Work fine with (from http://w32.clamav.net/downloads/clamAV.msi): 
-- main.cvd - ClamAV-VDB:31 Dec 2006 13-09 +0100:42:83951:10:

Error with (fresh updated ):

    main.cvd updated (version: 44, sigs: 133163, f-level: 20, builder: sven)


And I put:
logfile = C:\Program Files\The Bat!\avir\TBClamScanLog.txt
to conf file, but it's not work.

And what about new version?

[Mark0]

Sorry but I haven't news about an update, yet.

THANKS FOR THIS PLUGIN!
It seems a very good Idea to integrate the Open-Source Anti-Virus solution into TheBat.

Its not working for me yet - tried around with TBClamWin.conf in different locations (next to ClamWin.conf, in the folter where the BAV is etc...) , even tried using " inside because my file-paths contain Spaces - Like that:

[ClamAV]
clamscan = "C:\Program Files (x86)\ClamWin\bin\clamscan.exe"
database = "C:\Users\All Users\.clamwin\db"

but no luck

I am using TB 4.2.6 on a Vista 64-Bit System.

I get the Message when installing:

"Unable to read ClamWin config file.
C:\Program Files (x86)\ClamWin\bin\ClamWin.conf"

IS there a fix?  Is there a new Version coming - would be great

cheers from Vienna!

Thanks for your feedback and, I'm sorry to say, for your patience.
I still plan to have a new version available, but I can't say when!

Bye!
