Construct a command line to do the scan with clamscan.exe (not with clamwin.exe, because that would need user interaction) and put it into a batch file (e.g. "myScan.bat"). You can then use the Windows Task Scheduler to execute this batch file at night. To construct the command line, type "clamscan --help" to get a list of options available. Some options are obligatory, i believe they are --tempdir=DIRECTORY, --database=FILE, --log=FILE. You can check the database location in the clamwin preferences. Hope this helps, budtse |
