General
Clam
AntiVirus (ClamAV) is a free, cross-platform antivirus
software tool-kit capable of detecting many types of
malicious software, including viruses.
ClamAV consist of the following parts:
- freshclam.exe is the program that
updates the virus definition files.
- clamd.exe is the scanning engine, which
should run all the time as a service.
- clamdscan.exe is used to scan
the file. clamdscan.exe connects to
clamd.exe and clamd.exe scans the file.
This is very fast, because the virus
definition files are loaded only once at
startup of the service.
- clamscan.exe is also used to scan
the file. However, clamscan.exe doesn't
connect to clamd.exe and so it always
load the virus definition files.

Simple installation using an install
program.
By default no automatic update of virus
definition files.
Update using task scheduler executing
C:\clamav-devel\bin\freshclam.exe
--quiet
--config-file=C:\clamav-devel\etc\freshclam.conf
Due to a bug in Cygwin, clamdscan.exe
always returns errorlevel zero and so it
can't be used. clamscan.exe returns the
proper errorlevel. |

Virus definition files are updated only
when someone is logged on.
For updating using task scheduler see

There is no clamdscan.exe, only
clamscan.exe.
clamscan.exe needs to find the database
and this requires the additional argument
of --database="C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\.clamwin\db"

Installation on a server is not
possible.
The scanner sends every file
into the cloud where the scanning engine
is working.
There is no clamscan.exe
