I'm getting an error message saying that an error has caused the scan to stop. There's no explanation for the error but i have traced it to the System32 folder. It has also done the same in another "Windows" folder but i haven't identified that yet.

The error message and reports are too vague and do not point to an exact location so they dont have any real use in resolving the matter.

The OS is Vista 32bit

Is this a common problem?
Does anyone know if there is a fix to this problem?
Should i carry on using Clamwin as normal or should I use another AV until this is sorted?

Please help

Thanks

Hello
Check above, this has worked for my Vista Home SP1 machine. As far as I remember scans were interrupted at some point during system32 folder scan. With the build above it worked again and scan was carried out compeltely.

p.s.-I would recommend to use also a resident scanner on your machine, since (by the moment) ClamWin is only an on demand scanner (no real time protection then). You can install any of the most common free AV's that are used for personal/non commercial use. Being on on demand tool clamwin will not conflict with one of them and you can run scans on your machine using both of them alternatively.

I'm getting a "The requested page is not found, you may want to look at the Main Page" when I click the link. I then did a search and did not find the file.

Is there another way of doing it?

Hello again
So its ok for me to use AVG or a similar AV along with Clamwin?

Correct. I presently have Avira Antivir Free and ClamWin installed on both of my machines. All running without problems.

Hi

Thanks for the advice Antonio. I have downloaded and run AVG and it works ok.

Is there any other location that i could get the file below

https://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/files/clamav-0.93.3-debug-win32.7z

(it seems that it is no longer at this location)

Thanks
John

no need to use the debug version above, 0.94 is almost ready
