the pc is protected with an other antivirus-programm - I think it is AVAST

I want to check it all with ClamWin
or check my own data on the extern HDs.
What can I do to specify the Sanning-area in a own range order ?

For some reason, your ClamWin signature database is corrupt. Find the database folder (File Locations tab in the configuration/preferences menu) and delete the main and daily signature databases, then do a manual update and you should be ready to scan.

You can configure ClamWin scans per the scheduler in the system tray menu (right click on the ClamWin system tray icon) or you can just do a manual scan. If you already have another AV that has a real-time scanner, I suggest you just do a manual ClamWin scan on the memory, the System32 folder, and the Documents and Settings (user folder on Vista/Windows 7 OS). You should only have one scanner operating in real-time mode. ClamWin does not have a real-time scanner, so it can be used as a backup scanner.

I use the COM LIVESTICK Konfiguration on a portable WD ELement 2'5"

In this use I visited many different Computers in INTERNET-Shops and Internet-Caf?©s

What I can do to save the Installation on LIVESTICK from other VIRUS-Scanner
on the PCs I visit day after day in an other town ?

I think this is the basic of my problem
