#62 Target as cmd line option (ClamWin "f:\incoming\")
ClamWin is almost what I'm looking for (thanks so
far =)
I'm looking for a scanner that I start explicitly to
scan a specific file/folder; otherwise, it should not
be 100% gone and not touching Windows in any
way.
To ease things on my small LAN (and because I
believe it's just smoother that way), I configured
ClamWin to be completely self-contained in one
folder, with no registry settings (tip: use relative
paths in the conf file, and you can move the folder
around, put it on a CD, or have the drive mapped on
another letter on another machine).
For convenience, I have put ClamWin into my
SendTo folder. Only problem: ClamWin does not
care about the command line parameter.
It would be great (and very easy to do?) if I could
run, for example, 'ClamWin "d:\path to suspect files"
' and 'ClamWin "d:\temp\aSuspectFile.exe"'.
(By the way: do you really need that ExpShell.dll? A
bunch of registry entries is all you need to start an
app from Explorer context menus. I only noticed
because I could not delete it after exiting ClamShell
.)
Thanks for your time - j

I think that would be a great feature too.
I'm using clamwin to scan finished files in eMule plus and
incoming files in msn messenger.
For these softwares (and others) I have to fill in the path
of the command.
Now I'm using clamscan.exe but there are problems using it
this way :
- because it's a command line program, when the scan is
done, the window exits without warning about the result of
the scan...
Of course if there's no viruses, there's no problems but...
if there's one, I just don't know!
A solution could be to log the result of the scan in a file
and then see it :-\ Or maybe to make the command "beep" as the command line
proposes with the option " --bell -> Sound bell on virus
detection"
but it doesn't work. I suppose it's because it comes from
the linux world and it doesn't work in DOS.
Well, compared to all these problems, clamwin offers a more
user friendly way to warn about viruses.
Other advantage : clamwin is configured to use some options
like : exclude patterns or how to process an infected file
(show the file, delete it or quarantinize it)
^^' Maybe this will convince you! I hope so :)
Anyway thanks for your job!

As I mentioned in the winrar/downloaded manager threads, I
hacked up a C# app that displays the output of clamscan.exe
in a normal window. All you need to pass clamwinscanner.exe
(which you drop into the same dir as clamscan.exe) is the
path/filename(s) of the files you want to scan and it'll
scan them, putting the output in a normal textbox.
(The only problem is that the path to the database file is
hardcoded for 2k/XP, but the source is included and you can
use Sharp Develop (GPL) to edit it)
