[clamav-users] Fwd: Hey thanks, But I'm still clueless.

[c***@keemail.me]

Can anyone help me? I thought this would be more simple, I just trust ClamAv more than most other antiviruses out there. I'm in some trouble, can't figure this out. Thanks.


Subject: [clamav-users] Hey thanks, But I'm still clueless. (argghh sorry)

You really seem to know what you're talking about and I really appreciate your help in the last email, but I'm so so lost here. I'm usually a little more used to linux and I was hoping you could give me an exact step by step list of guided detailed instructions for dummies if it's not too much trouble for you, perhaps something like
1. do this
2. do that
3. do this
and sort of tell me exactly where things come from and where things go and how to do them... I Know... and I'm sorry.
What I suppose I will try to do is set up clamav portable version in windows 10 and then just download the virus signatures (are there official and unofficial ones just like on linux?) and then just move them over to the needed computer and then run a full (all encompassing scan) (however I would really like to know how to just scan only one folder or directory if possible as well)
the thing is that I have no idea how to do this. I understand some of the things you said in the previous email but it's like staring into the abyss for me. I doubt I will ever figure this out without your help, since there's no GUI (which I'm shocked isn't included honestly, considering the inexperienced stereotype of the typical windows user, not to insult those who don't fit into that stereotype- which is ironic considering how much I fail just because I'm slightly better at linux haha) (to be honest I've seen the linux gui "ClamTK" and it's great, I don't know why that didn't become popular, update button- scan where you want, all the features.)
What I'm asking is embarrassingly silly, but I need you to explain this to me as if I was just recovering from very minor head trauma or I promise you this just isn't gonna happen for me... O_O  please help!

[c***@keemail.me]

Thank you very much, I was a little worried but now I'm sure everything is fine.
(I guess nobody wants to help me though, which somehow makes me worry even more!)
Haha... uhhh..
Well thanks again though, of course. I hope I am actually asking my question in the right place. I'm just trying to setup ClamAv on a windows10 os system with no internet connection but I'm too stupid to do that without a step by step list for dummies... I hope it's not too annoying If I repost my question every now and then and hope someone helps me. I really wonder why it's not easier to setup on windows, like all pre-packaged in an installer or something, latest version loaded with the latest virus signatures etc. I'm just too stupid to get this working.

I'm not sure what the latest state of windows support is. Judging by lack
of reponses that you find helpful, not many people use it either.
Your 'not internet connection' makes it more complicated. Don't expect
people to waste their time testing the steps FOR you if they don't use it
themselves, especially for an unusual setup.

I know that in the past clamwin (http://www.clamwin.com/) used to be the
'easy' way to setup clamav on windows, so if you have problems installing
you might want to try that.

Latest signatures is AFAIK not bundled with the installation, since it
changes often. You should be able to install it on another machine, then
copy the database files over.

One note here: Not many Windows users install it themselves. I'm betting
the vast majority use it as part of another product and receive version
upgrades and product support through that vendor.

I count myself in this group on my Windows servers, I have only
installed and configured ClamAV on my *nix boxes so I don't actually
have any useful feedback myself.

Hi Cryofruit,

Sorry I haven't had time to respond again to give you a more step by step explanation of how to run ClamAV.

You wrote:

the thing is that I have no idea how to do this.

I put this together for you. I'll try to similar user guide material in upcoming improvements to our documentation for the next release.

1. Download: http://www.clamav.net/downloads/production/clamav-0.100.1-win-x64-portable.zip
2. Unzip it.
3. Open the clamav-0.100.1-win-x64-portable directory.
4. Hold down Shift and then right-click on the background in the current directory (but not on one of the files). Select "Open PowerShell window here". If that option doesn't appear, try again.
5. In the Powershell window, perform the following tasks
* Run: copy .\conf_examples\freshclam.conf.sample .\freshclam.conf
* Run: write.exe .\freshclam.conf
* WordPad will pop up. Delete the line that says "Example". Save the file and close WordPad.
* Run: .\freshclam.exe
* freshclam will download some files and drop them in the database directory. This can take a minute or two depending on how fast your internet connection is. The files are a pretty large.
* You are now ready to perform scans with ClamAV. If you wish, you may now copy the entire clamav-0.100.1-win-x64-portable directory to the computer(s) you wish to scan. However, you may wish to first try a scan.
* Run this to scan the files in the current directory: .\clamscan.exe .
* This will scan the current directory. At the end of the scan, it will display a summary. If you notice in the clamscan output, it only scanned something like 60 files, even though there are more files in subdirectories. By default, clamscan will only scan files in the current directory.
* Run this to scan ALL the files in the current directory: .\clamscan.exe --recursive .
* If you want to scan all of the files on your C: drive, it will take quite a while. Run the following, and keep in mind that you can cancel it at any time by pressing Ctrl-C.
* .\clamscan --recursive C:\
* For more information on ways you can use clamscan, run: .\clamscan.exe --help

I hope that helps.

Micah

Can anyone help me? I thought this would be more simple, I just trust ClamAv more than most other antiviruses out there. I'm in some trouble, can't figure this out. Thanks.


Subject: [clamav-users] Hey thanks, But I'm still clueless. (argghh sorry)

You really seem to know what you're talking about and I really appreciate your help in the last email, but I'm so so lost here. I'm usually a little more used to linux and I was hoping you could give me an exact step by step list of guided detailed instructions for dummies if it's not too much trouble for you, perhaps something like
1. do this
2. do that
3. do this
and sort of tell me exactly where things come from and where things go and how to do them... I Know... and I'm sorry.

What I suppose I will try to do is set up clamav portable version in windows 10 and then just download the virus signatures (are there official and unofficial ones just like on linux?) and then just move them over to the needed computer and then run a full (all encompassing scan) (however I would really like to know how to just scan only one folder or directory if possible as well)
the thing is that I have no idea how to do this. I understand some of the things you said in the previous email but it's like staring into the abyss for me. I doubt I will ever figure this out without your help, since there's no GUI (which I'm shocked isn't included honestly, considering the inexperienced stereotype of the typical windows user, not to insult those who don't fit into that stereotype- which is ironic considering how much I fail just because I'm slightly better at linux haha) (to be honest I've seen the linux gui "ClamTK" and it's great, I don't know why that didn't become popular, update button- scan where you want, all the features.)

What I'm asking is embarrassingly silly, but I need you to explain this to me as if I was just recovering from very minor head trauma or I promise you this just isn't gonna happen for me... O_O please help!
