ClamWin Free Antivirus :: View topic - Upgrade 94.1 to 95.1 complete~Help>About still says 94.1

Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 1:53 pm

I just upgraded from 94.1 to 95.1 (FREE VER). Or at least I THINK I have.
When I check the version that is running now on my PC - ABOUT: it still says VERSION 0.94.1 (but below in fine print it does say ClamAV 0.95.1 ).

Then when I try to re-install - I get an error message that says "I must download the FULL VERSION of 95.1 and I can't upgrade my current version with the file I downloaded 94.1_95.1

Am I upgraded or NOT ??? I'm worried it is not complete.
Thanks for any help you can supply.

You will see the correct version number right below the word ClamWin on the About Page under the Help menu option.

If you have any doubt about it, I recommend uninstalling ClamWin either through the Add/Remove Programs option in Control Panel or Start, Programs, ClamWin, Uninstall. Then download ClamWin version 95.1 from the website and reinstall.

I have the same problem of ahlquinn: after upgrading from 0.94.1 to 0.95.1 (using the downloaded clamwin-update-0.94.1_0.95.1.exe), this is what appears in about dialog:

ClamWin Free Antivirus
Version 0.94.1
Website: https://www.clamwin.com

ClamAV 0.95.1
Protecting from 546302 Viruses
Virus DB Version: (main: 50; daily 9292)
Updated: 03:25 27 apr 2009

Then, ClamWin still keeps to tell me that a new version (0.95.1) is available. If I try to run again clamwin-update-0.94.1_0.95.1.exe, it says it can't install because 0.95.1 is already installed.

What should I do? Am I forced to uninstall and reinstall the full 0.95.1 install package?

It's the first time I have a problem with an upgrade.

please uninstall and then install a full 0.95.1 download:

I had a similar problem. There is definitely something buggy with the .94.1 to .95.1 upgrade. Control Panel/Add Remove Programs was also reporting .94.1 after the upgrade.
Running a .95.1 complete install was OK for me too.

I'm trying to wait for the following update, hoping it will fix everything. After all, I think 0.95.1 is actually installed, even if the GUI and the update system says it differently.

If I'm really forced to uninstall and re-install, I will do it after seeing that the next update won't get it right too...
