Where can i find the ClamWin Virus Definitions Database? I am curious to see how Virus Definitions are stored into a database.

If you are using Windows XP, the signature databases are in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\.clamwin\db. This contains the main database, which is named main.cvd. There is also a daily subfolder containing the incremental updates, and there are several types of signature files in the subfolder. You can call up some of the daily databases in Windows Notepad, but I guess you'll need some sort of database software to read the main cvd file.

In the ClamWin preferences, there's a tab 'File Locations'. There you can see where the database is located.
