I'm currently using the sosdg.com distro of ClamAV for windows in an integration script for a mail server. The one thing I really like about it better than ClamWin is that it displays the database version information for clamscan --version. I'm not sure of the feasibility of doing that with ClamWin, but perhaps if --database=... is specified on the command line with --version, the database versions could be included too?

Another option would be to include version information in the scan summary. I'd actually prefer that since a separate call to get version information wouldn't be necessary, but I'm not sure whether that is your code or the ClamAV development team's code... Maybe I should ask them instead?

Thanks for listening.

this issue happens because clamscan expects to find the database files in the default location and the path is unix-style:
/usr/share/clamav and clamwin uses different path location.

You can read first bytes form the main.cvd and daily.cvd to get the db version.
