Read this full thread for possible contributions where matching versions have already been posted. If not, then you will have to abort this procedure until they do become the same version (or contact someone here to see if they have copies of versions that do match. ie, "v0.99" clamwin is not the same as "v0.98.7" clamd Get it from the "Current Stable" under and ensure the version number matches the same version of Clamwin.Ĭ, To read the whole of this post for further information on making Clam actually effective (with the use of 3rd party definitions).īEFORE BEGINNING: It is important to ensure that Clamwin (A) and the Clamd port (B) are of the same version. We need this Zip as we are going to use 2 files from it.

A high usage system will crumble using Clamwin alone.Ī, the installation set of Clamwin (if you havent already done it) from andī, the ported Zip file of "clamav-win32-A.BB.c.7Z" from "" section (which is an unofficial windows port of Clamav, used to create Clamwin, where A.BB.c is the version number). I then tried the tests again but by launching THREE test all at the same time and they all performed inline with above tests (all clamav service returned 5 secs and no CPU, clamwin sent CPU to 70odd percent with 3 separate processes being launched).Ī LOT quicker for mail scanning and with less system resources. Using the Hmailserver TEST button, the time taken to respond with result:Ĭlamwin (if chosen as the preferred antivirus option) = 20 seconds (visible CPU increased to 24% in the system's taskmanager monitor)ĬlamAV service = 5 seconds (and no visible CPU increase). As it is multithreaded it is therefore lower on system resources and faster. Running as a service provides the ability to pass threads to it on port 3310. This procedure details how to easily use Clamwin for its prettiness, but as a service as ClamAV.easily. ClamAV does, but it doesnt have a usable GUI like Clamwin such as a system tray, on demand Scan in Context Menu and quarantine program.


In the latest version of Hmailserver, it has both CLAMAV and CLAMWIN builtin integrated options.Ĭlamwin doesnt come as a service.
