I'm trying to run ClamWin from the command line.

I need to scan a file, log the results and close.

According to the help I've found elsewhere on the web, I think this should work.

"C:\Program Files\ClamWin\bin\ClamWin.exe" --mode=scanner --path="D:\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\STGetNewTrans\bin\STGenNewTrans.exe" --log="c:\clamavlog.txt" --close

However, it scans, and closes but it doesn't create a log file.

Ideally I'd like the GUI not to show at all and speed up the process, as I'd like to run this in a program.

Thanks in advance.

I've been having trouble creating a log file as well with that switch (and with the shorthand "-l"), even without using the "--close" switch.

I gave up on creating a log file.

Instead I use the return code, it tells me if something was found or a problem or whether the files is ok.
