[clamav-users] Batch file for Windows.

[Jeff]

Guys and Gals,



I've been unsuccessful in creating a working batch file. I've Googled and
searched the ClamAV list but only found one incomplete sample.



Can someone share a Windows batch file or PowerShell script that does the
following:



When ran, recursively scans a particular directory, moves any infected files
to another directory and emails an alert if a virus is detected. The email
alert should contain info about the infected file(s) including the path.



Keeping fingers crossed :-)



Thanks,



Jeff

Michael,



Thanks for the suggestion.



I did look at ClamWin, a while back, but from what I remember, updates are
slow in coming. I'll take a another look at it. There was another reason why
I opted for ClamAV but I do not recall. Also, I already have ClamAV
installed, clamd running as a service, custom configured with extra
signatures and auto updating.



I want to use a batch file because I want my FTP server to trigger the scan,
automatically, when files are uploaded.



Below is all I have found for Windows:



.

@ECHO OFF

TITLE CLAMAV ANTIVIRUS SCANNER

SET /P scan=Please enter path to scan:

IF "%scan%"=="" GOTO Error

ECHO Scanning path: %scan%

ECHO Please wait for a moment...

cmd /c clamscan.exe -r -i "%scan%" --move=C:\ClamAV-x64\quarantine
--log=logs.txt

ECHO ----------------

GOTO End

:Error

ECHO You didn't enter path...

:End

PAUSE

.



How do I tweak the code above so that the command below is used if a virus
is found:



.

SwithMail.exe /s /x "SwithMailSettings.xml"

.



If I use SwitchMail, I can have it use logs.txt as the body of the email
alert.



Thanks,



Jeff

Does it have to be a batch file? Python could do it, fairly easily.

Hi there,

...
cmd /c clamscan.exe -r -i "%scan%" ...
...
How do I tweak the code above ...

However you tweak it, do please make sure that what you're doing does
not make things worse rather than better.

For example, where does "%scan%" come from? If it's from an untrusted
source such as a user-supplied file or pathname, you'd be well advised
to sanitize it carefully. Perhaps, also, even if it isn't. :)

If I were using a Linux box it would probably be 'clamdscan' (to send
the file to the clamd daemon, which already has the database loaded)
rather than 'clamscan' (which would probably take a minute or two to
load the database(s) before starting a scan). I know little about the
Windows versions of ClamAV, but from the very minimal research that I
just did I believe that much the same approach is possible.
