Hi,
I posted this question in the FAQ thread, but I'm not sure if anyone reads that anymore.
I'm not looking for on-demand scanning as such - I just want a removable media (CD, UBSdisk, floppy, etc) scanned when the media is inserted (mounted).
Does anyone know of a way to do this with the current system?
All comments and suggestions welcome!
Cheers!
Nik.

I did read your post, there is no way of doing that with current system. we may include it in version 1.1

Hi Alch,
Thanks for your response.
Do you know of any code out there I could look at that detects new disk mounts in WIndows? I would happily build a small service that does this and just calls ClamWin when needed.
Cheers!
Nik.

take a look here for a user-mode code:

Awesome - thanks!
I've found some other code for determining if a disk is removable or not, so hopefully I can come up with something quite quickly.
On a different, but related topic: is there a reason why there is no service to run ClamWin? It seems that the scheduled scans don't always take place if the machine is logged out. I was considering writing code to run ClamWin as a service. Is there something I should know before attempting this?
Cheers!
Nik

we have a service for version 1 and the use Windows Task Scheduler for all tasks so it would run user-less. You can check the clamwind-prototype code in the svn.

Just curious about whether you had any luck with this one? I'm interested in doing exactly the same thing and thought I'd see if you'd managed to create a service that'll do it?
