I have a VERY old laptop

Dell Latitude CP
233 MHZ Intel CPU
64 MB RAM
3 Gig HD
Running Windows NT4

First of all does anyone know if ClamWin Free will work on it?? If it does how light is it on system resources?? All I am using this laptop for is for internet browser (FireFox).

Thanks for any information!!

Your best bet may be the portable version of ClamWin running on a CD. Go here:

So there is no way to get it to have on demand scanning? Caus what I REALLY want is virus prevention.. This stupid laptop.. I couldn't get ANY Linux distro to work on it, so I had to go back to windows.. and of course all windows versions are going to easily get infected.. =\

ClamWin does on demand scanning--you tell it to scan a file/directory/drive, and it scans it. It does not have a resident/full-time/on-access scanner. The free version of AVG is a good resident scanner, and it is said to be pretty light on resources.

Regards,

ClamWin out-of-the box will probably not work on NT4 (It does on Win98 SE, if that's an option).

I would advise you to have a look at Sherpya's site https://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/ https://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/ and download the vc6 clamscan port from there. That one should work. You can put the parameters in a batch file so you don't have to type them again every time (you can even set it up with the Windows task scheduler).

hope this helps,

on sourceforge downloads there is a special (but unsupported) nt4 setup of clamwin

I see.
