I am trying to figure out how to run "WinClam" from the command line automatically.

I have WinClam installed on our server and and it to run automaticly at night without the nesseccity of manually logging on. I know how to setup a bat file and windows Scheduled tasks to accomplish this, but I cannot get clamscan and freshclam to run from the command line. I need to know what to put into a conf file for freshclam, and where the database is stored so i can point to it with each program.

Any help would be great.

freshclam.conf:


then you need to specify where tro store the database files on command line. For command line switches use:


by default clamwin stores the database in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\.clamwin\db
check clamwin prefernces-file locations

You can use standalone clamscan/freshclam without bothering about db path
just merge this registry key (note you can use HKCU if you don't have admin privileges)



you should put the suggested freshclam.conf
in the dir pointer by ConfigDir registry key
you may want to set DataDir pointing clamwin db (the path suggested by alch)
