Hi, i am the guy who started the discussion...
How the heck can i do freshclam or use cvdupdate on Windows 9x machine? If i download the database trough clamwin but it said “malformed database”, so i tried to download files from browser and i got banned
I have to do freshclam on a Linux machine and transfer files to Windows 98?
Best Regards
