The clamav-0.98.6-win32.msi simply installs the bare-bones for ClamAV on Windows which comprises of a number of command line programs. This means that there are no GUIs and it's generally for technical specialists.
If you're interested in acquiring a ClamAV variant that includes a GUI, some programs you could look into are ClamWin and Immunent. ClamWin is a third-party derivative of ClamAV and Immunent is a first-party derivative but mileage may vary with either. As for solving the "Please define server type (local and/or TCP)" error, 'clamd' is the a daemon that listens on a socket for files to scan and can be run in the background. In order for 'clamd' to function, the specifications of the socket it uses must be defined. - If you are using TCP, you need to set the "TCPSocket" and "TCPAddr" options in clamd.conf. "TCPSocket" is required and "TCPAddr" may provide some degree of protection from the outside world. - Local sockets (UNIX sockets) are not supported for the Windows platform. When using 'clamd', it is recommended you use 'clamdscan' alongside it. 'clamscan' is also a stand-alone scanner. For additional information for program usage, you can read the program's help message or query its manpage. -Kevin On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 1:13 PM, Jonathan Coles <jcoles0...@rogers.com> wrote: > I installed clamav-0.98.6-win32.msi on Windows.
