the clamav distribution from http://w32.clamav.net/ (previously recommended in the ASSP wiki) is no longer updated from 02/2008 and http://www.asspsmtp.org/wiki/ClamAV_Win32 just states some updated native distributions that are 1 or 2 fix behind the last official release. therefore another interesting option might be the sosdg distribution from http://www.sosdg.org/clamav-win32 (seems to be always updated). there's a nice tutorial for installing sosdg for windows at http://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&p=70888 - worked perfectly out of the box for me (just added the registry key to set the dependency on ASSP service that requires the ClamAV service to be started and running before ASSP starts from http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-SPAM-WARN%3A-ASSP%2BClamAV-question-p13539120.html to make it perfect) now i'm facing just a minor issue and maybe some helping hand with vb-knowledge might help here: fritz provides a nice 'getsig' utility script for downloading additional signatures (including the sanesecurity ones) at http://www.iworld.de/homes/fb/0001B38B-8000001C/S06528EFC - but the script seems to work just if placed directly within the clamav db-folder (besides this it's hardcoded to not use URL 6-8). so any help in fixing the Function GetSigs(sDestPath, vaURL) to work even if the script is outside the db-folder (e.g. C:\clamav-devel\thirdparty\getsig) is highly welcome (sorry, vb is definitly not my cup of tea)... thanks in advance, regards form germany andreas -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/OT%3A-windows---sosdg-clamav---getsig-tp19175752p19175752.html Sent from the assp-test mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

My 2 cents is to go with the http://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/ version. I'm using it with success for a few months AND it's the port used in clamwin antivirus Right now I'm using 0.94rc1 in production with sanesecurity signatures. Fast and reliable, no problems so far. |

Thanks! Yes. SOSDG is continuously "alive" and well supported. I used this port over 1 year or so in the past. Now I tested it for the first time since then. This guy (Brian) obviously improved it a lot. But still slow slow slow... (compared to w32.clamav.net version). I remember frequent problematic updates forcing us to roll-back and forth. We'll see how it's going on nowadays. Katip |

Hi, The SOSDG version installs on Windows NT 4 (Multiple standalone ASSP proxies is a good use of my old NT4 licenses), where as the w32.clamav.net will NOT install on NT 4 because it requires .Net 2.0, which will not install on NT 4.

The old w32.clamav is currently dead in the water - no updates since Feb 08. The other native ports (hideout & netfarm) both have versions that run on NT (and Win98 for that matter) without any MS addon. They are both up to 0.94rc1 (which runs well on my systems). Sosdg has kept up well with releases, but has the overhead of the cygwin emulation so will always be slower. Also the developer is relocating and has said "After Sept 15th, there will be no more SOSDG builds till around November. I will no longer have my Windows build system...", and currently the site is down. ME asked for consensus, but each version is packaged by a single individual, and if they get busy elsewhere, the job doesn't get done - just see what's happened to the 'official' port at w32.clamav.net. I keep an eye on all of them, and go with the one I prefer - currently hideout.ath.cx Until sourcefire decide to put resources into a binary windows build, I don't expect this situation to change. And for the OP, there's a selection of 'other sig' download scripts for nix and windows on the sanesecurity site http://www.sanesecurity.com/clamav/usage.htm paul |
