Hi all,

I'm new to clamwin in general and I could use some help. I'm testing it out the command line portion to scan loaded processes and modules and the regristry. While I can scan the memory it doesn't appear that clamscan.exe is scanning the registry (based on testing an infected PC). Any advice?

FYI: Here is the command line I'm using
clamscan.exe c:\windows --memory --database=c:\clamwin\db\main.cvd --no-mail --no-archive --log=c:\clamwin\PCHC.txt

If they can grab some malicious action a piece of malware does to the registry, Clam might include it in a signature, but they concentrate upon getting signatures for malware files and leave the registry alone. If you want registry protection, look to the anti-malware stuff, the behaviour blockers, and AVs that incorporate some behaviour blocking.

Regards,
