LogFile C:\Program Files (x86)\ClamWin\bin\clamd.logĭatabaseDirectory C:\ProgramData\.clamwin\db (I will assume all default file locations for the sake of this instruction).Ģ, Open the 7Z zip file (downloaded from netfarm (2)- above) and extract SPAMD.EXE and SPAMD.CONFģ, Copy those 2 files in to the Clamwin program directory (usually: C:\Program Files (x86)\ClamWin\bin\)Ĥ, With text editor (eg notepad) edit CLAMD.CONF and change the following 2 lines (leaving the other lines alone):
#HOW GOOD IS CLAMAV FOR WINDOWS INSTALL#
ie, "v0.99" clamwin is not the same as "v0.98.7" Clamd.ġ, Install Clamwin. We need this Zip as we are going to use 2 files from it.īEFORE BEGINNING: It is important to ensure that Clamwin (A) and the Clamd port (B) are of the same version. As it is multithreaded it is therefore lower on system resources and fasterĪ, the installation set of Clamwin (if you havent already done it) andī, the ported Zip file of the "clamav-win32-0.98" from (which is an unofficial windows port of Clamav and claims to be what Clamwin was based on). Some applications (such as email clients and Mail Servers eg, Hmailserver which has Clamav and Clamwin integration options built in) can integrate and pass mail to this for scanning emails. Running as a service provides the ability to pass threads to it on port 3310.
This procedure details how I EASILY installed it and highlights the benefits.
