ClamAV Power Tools

Post #1 of 10 (9139 views)

Folks,

I'm sorry that I've not been able to put time and effort into continuing
the support of ClamAV on the Windows system.

The ClamAV team intend to restart support for Windows as soon as we can.

In the meantime I am also aware that not much has been happening on the
Powertools front. For those of you that don't know, the Powertools
is a suite of programs that enhance the features of ClamAV under Windows.

* clamdService - a service to start clamd and freshclam

* clamAVShellExt - an extension to Windows Explorer to add the option to
right-click any file/folder and have that file/folder scanned by ClamAV

* clamOffice - an extension to Microsoft Word to use ClamAV to scan for
viruses when a document is opened

* clamAVaddin - an extension to Microsoft Office to use ClamAV to scan
for viruses when an email is received.

Given that I'm aware that people use the above tools, I've uploaded the
code to https://sourceforge.net/projects/clamav-power/. The sources are
available under SVN, at
https://clamav-power.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/clamav-power/.

-Nigel

Yes I agree thanks very much for your efforts over the years Nigel.
One little thing, just where do you download these power tools from as I
need to put them on another server and have no record of where I got the
last lot from.

Cheers and all the best

Nigel Packer

You can get the sources from the sourceforge project's SVN area. I am
yet to upload binaries, but it is on my list of things to do.

That should have read Microsoft Outlook, not Microsoft Office.

Sorry,

As requested I've uploaded binaries to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/clamav-power/

I urge you all to use the source rather than the binaries, if you have
the compiler (MSVC2005 or greater) and feel comfortable doing so. Thanks!

If you have any comments please contact me privately since
the ClamAV Power Tools are off topic for this list. Better still,
I've created a mailing list for the tools which you can subscribe to
from the above web site.

Thanks for the link Nigel and thanks for providing support for Clamav
for windows. I've noticed that you have set up bulletin boards and
forum for clamav windows will you be moderating these?

Cheers Alan

Alan,

Thanks for your email. I have not set up any support
forums for ClamAV on Windows, only for the Power Tools. This emailing
list remains the place to discuss development issues for ClamAV on
Windows, and the clamav-users mailing list remains the place to discuss
all issues as a user. To avoid any doubt, the Power Tools are not, and
never have been, a part of ClamAV.

Nigel,

If one wanted to build a clean win32 port ( Not for PowerTools.) Just a
clean win32 port that registers as having a current engine; then which
source is the recommended package?

Thanks.

There is no "recommended" package. Sorry.
