Hi there,

Disclaimer: I don't generally use Windows, and my experience of it is
more or less limited to fixing problems that clients have had with it.
That said, they've had a lot of problems over the years, and I know a
lot more about it than most Windows users, but I don't by any means
consider myself a "Windows expert"...

As I'm sure you know, Windows 7 reached its End Of Life 18 months ago.
You really shouldn't be using it any more, *especially* if you need to
ask questions like the questions you're asking here.

IMHO ClamWin sucks. The version of ClamAV on which it is based was
stuck at 0.99 for years, even when ClamAV was at 0.103. It appears
ClamWin was finally updated after version 0.103.2 was released, but it
was a fraud - it was version 0.103.1, hacked to claim it is 0.103.2.
See the archives of this list for more information:

https://marc.info/?l=clamav-users&m=162298199126248&w=2

In case it isn't clear, given the obviously unsatisfactory history I
wouldn't touch ClamWin with a ten foot pole.

Good plan.

I don't know about settings, but I'd guess you could do it easily with
a batch file. For example the batch file would call clamscan and then
call something which pauses until a key is pressed. You know the kind
of thing: "Press any key to continue." Having said that there must be
better ways - please read on.

It's not the sort of thing that's appropriate for clamscan itself.

It's more usual to run freshclam unattended, on a schedule, and get it
to send its output to a log somewhere so that you can view the log at
your leisure. Once you have it working, it's rare to hit problems.

There's a --file-list option to clamscan which makes it very easy to
scan multiple files. Just create a file containing the path list, one
path per line in the list. The 'path' means include (for Windows, the
drive letter if necessary and) all the parent directories, for example

C:/Users/Downloads/dodgy\ file.exe

Caveat: I can't remember that last time I did this on Windows, so you
might need to experiment with the directory separator character '/'; I
*think* '/' will work, but Windows of course uses '\' and you may need
to use '\\' instead. (The rest of the world uses a single backslash
as the 'escape' character to quote any 'special characters' used - and
the 'space' character is one of those, which is why I've quoted it in
my example filename with a space in it).

> which can be created to achieve this?

As I said it isn't appropriate, but you might look here for example:

https://superuser.com/questions/306167/how-to-prevent-the-command-prompt-from-closing-after-execution

> I haven't yet looked into logging options but it would be inconvenient ...

Why don't you use the batch file idea, with the --log-file command
line option to clamscan, followed by running your favourite pager to
view the log file after the scan completes? Then you won't have to
wait for anything, you can do something else while the scan runs, and
you won't need to worry about boxes closing because the pager will
hold it open until you quit it.

Alternatively start a terminal window (or whatever it's called in
Windows thesedays) and just type "clamscan filename". That's what I'd
do, if forced (probably it would be at gunpoint) to use Windows.

> Or one for the developer list?

Nope.

One last thing. Well, almost last.

My impression is that you're downloading dodgy things from the Internet
and using ClamAV to scan them for threats before using the dodgy things
on your Windows box. This can only end in tears. You need to be aware
that no virus scanner is 100% effective. Over the years I've posted a
few estimates for ClamAV's success rate on this list. The most recent:

https://marc.info/?l=clamav-users&m=162379914711853&w=2

Another disclaimer is needed here. I only use ClamAV to scan mail, and
the characteristics of threats in the incoming mail here might be very
different from the characteristics of the threats in the dodgy things
that you're downloading. So you can't really read a lot into the actual
numbers in that post but you *can* and *should* take away that *nothing*
can detect each and every threat.

Hi Robert,

You're correct that there is no config file for clamscan.exe. There also isn't any config option to have the command-line applications stay open if you're double-clicking them. ClamAV wasn't designed to be double-clicked. The problem you're facing is not really specific to ClamAV but really is for any command line application. But I think I can help...

I too initially stumbled on the "cmd /k" trick but you're right that multiple arguments get too complicated. It is instead pretty easy to do with PowerShell. Here are some scripts that should work for you for freshclam and clamscan. The "Pause" at the end will keep the window open until you press "Enter". These scripts should handle any number of arguments, and you can hardcode in some arguments like I have in ClamScan.ps1.

FreshClam.ps1:

param(
[Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)][String[]]$ScanArgs
)

$MyProgram = "C:\Program Files\ClamAV\freshclam.exe"
$Arguments = "$ScanArgs" # <-- feel free to add extra args if you want.

Write-Output "Running: $MyProgram $Arguments"
Start-Process $MyProgram -Wait -NoNewWindow -ArgumentList $Arguments
Pause


ClamScan.ps1:

param(
[Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)][String[]]$ScanArgs
)

$MyProgram = "C:\Program Files\ClamAV\clamscan.exe"
$Arguments = "--max-filesize=2000M --max-scansize=4000M $ScanArgs"

Write-Output "Running: $MyProgram $Arguments"
Start-Process $MyProgram -Wait -NoNewWindow -ArgumentList $Arguments
Pause


Please let me know how this works for you.

Cheers,
Micah

Two more things...

In the scripts, "Pause" is supposed to be on a new line, not on the same line as "Start-Process".

Also I forgot to mention that there is a new version of ClamWin released June 7th that should work okay: https://clamwin.com/content/view/251/1/

http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml

Thanks for the input and in particular the heads-up on logfiles which imo
is the key to a simple, elegant solution which avoids batch files and
tiresome cmd box typing. I did some more research after the replies to my
post but it's been interrupted by other stuff; so as the following works
for me, I'll go with the following as one possible solution.


(In neither case will the cmd box stay open by using the settings in (A)
and (B) below but the ***objective of seeing program output*** is in each
case secured by viewing the log file in the chosen location, while in the
case of clamscan.exe also preserving the convenience of selecting
multiple, even non-contiguous, operand files in Explorer and sending them
to clamscan.exe via its Context Menu's sendto). I've assumed Administrator
privileges are required to do all the following whether or not that is
actually so. Adjust filenames/locations to taste; also the following
assumes a default ClamAV installation.


~~~

(A) freshclam.exe desktop icon settings:

Create a desktop icon for freshclam.exe using one or other of the various
means available.
Right click the desktop icon and set Properties as:

"C:\Program Files\ClamAV\freshclam.exe" --log=c:\[some-folder]\freshclam.log

Start in: "C:\Program Files\ClamAV"

After running via clicking the desktop icon, freshclam's log of operations
is found in your 'favourite' / convenient directory which you specified as
per the above. Likewise the results of scanning files by clamscan.exe are
logged in the location chosen as per the below.


(B) clamscan.exe and Explorer/ Context Menu sendto settings:

Add clamscan.exe to the sendto list in Explorer's Context Menu using one
or other of the various means available.

Navigate to view:

C:\Users\[admin]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\clamscan.exe.lnk

Right click clamscan.exe.lnk and set Properties as:

"C:\Program Files\ClamAV\clamscan.exe" --log=c:\[some-folder]\clamscan.log

Start in: "C:\Program Files\ClamAV\"

~~~

Freshclam alerted me to new ClamAV version 0.103.3 so I've also updated to
that.

Interesting to read concerning ClamWin's creative versioning; I'd just
decided to go with ClamAV's own MS Windows version as closer to source so
to speak.

The Windows 7 machines were of course hardened using a couple of programs
designed for the purpose as well as utilising modiified HOSTS etc etc.;
the plan having been to upgrade to a dual-boot with the next Debian major
release, stable/Xfce/nonfree when it emerges in July or August. (The i386
/ w32 version of current runs pretty well on a travelling laptop with only
a celeron 1197.030 MHz processor and 2GB RAM). Maybe I'll consider devuan
but offhand I don't know what its release timing will be following on the
new Debian major version.

ClamAV is also going on the Windows 10 laptop.


Regards,


Robert Jones

Thanks very much for the input.

I did examine (for starters) the .ps1 clamscan script file but owing to my
pretty much total ignorance of Powershell syntax and time being
exceptionally tight over the last couple of days I haven't yet got to
grips with it because it seems I will have to research script privilege
change and some other stuff; plus I couldn't see, absent comments to the
code, what the operand file/s were. (That's probably just me being
incoherent btw).

Anyway I now have what is for me a neat and workable solution based on
simple use of the two programs' logs and avoiding batch files and cmd line
typing (doubtless just one among many potentials I could explore, time
permitting) - please see my reply to G.W. Haywood's response to my initial
posting.

I will probably stick with ClamAV now, especially given the remarks re:
versioning of ClamWin that were earlier referenced by you in your quoted
post here:
