> ClamAV is a command-line based program so the learning curve is a little high for setup.  One of our goals going forwards after our next version release is to make ClamAV easier to work with, but for the time being it’s a little cumbersome.  If you’re fairly adept with command line programs on Windows or Linux, stay around and try out ClamAV.  If you’re just looking for a free antivirus product that works out-of-the-box, you may want to try Immunet.

> If you want to keep playing with ClamAV on Windows, I recommend using ClamAV-0.100.0-beta.  This version has configuration files that are written with Windows in mind (older versions have the Unix ones which won’t work without modification).  The 0.100.0-beta version also sets up the database directory for you.

> This line exists to force users to read the configuration files themselves so they don’t make assumptions about the way ClamAV is configured.  I realize it’s not a friendly way to do that and we’re investigating ways to improve configuration set up in the future.   Again, if you’re using ClamAV 0.99.3 or older, you’ll have to modify a lot of fields in the configuration file such as the file paths so they make sense for Windows.

> b. -or- You can scan things indirectly, by running the ClamD.exe scanning engine continuously, and [in a different command prompt] trigger scans using ClamDScan.exe.  This option has the benefit of loading the virus definition database once when you start ClamD.exe, and then any file or directory you scan with ClamDScan.exe will be scanned immediately.
