[clamav-users] MS Windows Explorer Context Menu sendto (clamscan.exe) - how to keep cmd box open to view results?

[RW 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:
