Hello guys.

I'm using your clamscan binaries for a few scripts of mine and I've run into a weird problem with 0.96.

Here's a log from one of about 100 machines that gave me the same thing.



The weird thing here is this line on the summary and its implication:
Total errors: 34

It seems as if, for some reason I can't understand, it's counting the Warnings as errors.
More importantly, the return codes are also error codes.

You can only imagine the script nightmare.

I've seen this on XP (SP2, SP3) boxes but it's not consistent.


Any ideas?


p.s. I'm still trying to reproduce this, I'll keep you updated.

jObo,

Since I think my issue maybe related I'll add to this thread.

I am experiencing a very similar issue since upgrading to 0.96. One thing I noticed is there are now "\\?\" preceding the path where there were none before. The difference is I'm getting only 1 error total.

Thanks,

Sorry, Forgot:
System with issue is Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit.

Carl

we have changed the behavior of permission denied to be only a warn (so not counted as error and influencing return code)
in the 0.96.0.1 fix

Great.. Thanks.

I'm almost certain I was running .1 fix at that point.

I'll give it a test and let you know.

Here's another example that illustrates the issue:




This gave return code "2"
The 0.96 man page says




If it helps, here's the commit that introduced that behaviour https://git.clamav.net/gitweb?p=clamav-devel.git;a=commit;h=8770404a47d1cb9b15a793da98521e170402c41a

Hello Everybody,

I have been having the same problem with clamwin reporting errors but not displaying any.

I have just updated to 9.6.02 but the problem persists.

I am running Windows 2008 server 64 bit.

The scan report is attached

Thanks,
Colin Douglass
