ClamWin Free Antivirus :: View topic - clamscan.exe returning errorlevel 0 if virus found!

Posted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 4:27 pm

I have a batch command running clamscan.exe against a folder with some files in, including Eicar files. When the scan has completed it doesn't return a errorlevel of 1.

Any ideas?

Code:

C:\Temp\l\tmp\eicar.com: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND
C:\Temp\l\tmp\eicar.com.txt: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND
C:\Temp\l\tmp\eicarcom2.zip: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND
C:\Temp\l\tmp\eicar_com.zip: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND

Last line in Batch is

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\ClamWin\bin\clamscan.exe" --database="C:\ProgramData\.clamwin\db" --recursive "C:\Temp\l\tmp" --log=C:\Temp\l\log.txt
echo Clam %errorlevel%

Thanks,

Would appear to have been an error in my batch file. The following works with correct return codes!

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\ClamWin\bin\clamscan.exe" --database="C:\ProgramData\.clamwin\db" --recursive "C:\Temp\l\tmp" --log=C:\Temp\l\log.txt %1
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 exit /b 2
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 exit /b 0
