Re: [clamav-users] Clamwin will not update or so Slow it's Impractical to try

2016-11-12 Thread Rudy Stebih

It's because their mirrors are extremely slow and they won't add any new
mirrors.  What you are waiting for is for a mirror to timeout (30sec)
before it will move onto the next mirror. And so on...

I routinely go through 5 or 6 mirrors before I find one that's active.

2016-11-12 Thread Rudy Stebih

First, it's obvious the guys ClamAV installation is outdated and needs to
be updated by the message 'Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!'

Fix that first and I bet it will work fine after that!

Re: [clamav-users] Clamwin will not update or so Slow it's Impractical to try

2016-11-12 Thread Rudy Stebih

Clamwin & ClamAV are exactly the same engine.  The ONLY difference is that
Clamwin has a pretty windows UI.

First of all, I don't get paid to do QC for them.

Second, it clearly states in the 'Mirror' documentation that 'Every mirror
is continuously monitored to ensure that every ClamAV user gets the latest
virus database.'

They are not monitoring the mirrors anymore, and as such everyone is
getting crappy update speeds because half the mirrors are down and they are
not taking anymore mirrors to replace those down mirrors...

[clamav-users] LibClamAV Warning

2017-05-02 Thread Rudy Stebih

Hi Folks,

I've been getting the following error for a week or so:

'LibClamAV Warning: Bytecode runtime error at line 1226, col 4'

I finally found the time to run ClamAV in verbose mode and believe this is
the culprit:

'Scanning C:\Program Files (x86)\Applian Director\ClearRegCode.exe'

At least that was the last file being scanned right before the error.

I can upload the file somewhere if you like...

Cheers,
Rudy

Re: [clamav-users] LibClamAV Warning

2017-05-06 Thread Rudy Stebih

As I didn't hear back from anyone, I placed an exclude statement for the
file just so that I could finish the scan. These warnings are halting the
scan!

Turns out I got a second LibClamAV warning after I excluded the first one:

Scanning C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation
Information\{1FA41DBD-E8F8-46B1-A90C-1FA7E823DA58}\ISSetup.dll
LibClamAV Warning: Bytecode runtime error at line 968, col 5
