thanks and beast wishes

I am not sure what you mean by "force scanning." I think you mean "real-time" scanning. ClamWin is a "on-demand" scanner that scans when you "demand" as scan--either via a scheduled scan, a scan from the right context Windows Explorer menu with the mouse, or a scan from the GUI menu. It does not scan in "rea;-time" as files are put on your computer.

You can turn ClamWin into a real-time scanner (as files are added, modified, or copied on your computer) with the program from the The Clam Sentinel project at https://clamsentinel.sourceforge.net/ on the web. Clam Sentinel is a free, open source program like ClamWin. ClamWin must be installed before Clam Sentinel.

No antivirus can open up a password-protected zip file for scanning inside the file. I do not think you have to worry about most read-only files, but you can scan them with ClamWin.

or maybe my english is bad i try to explain myself again

when i do manually scan i get messages of error open the file or access deny on the files that i try to scan and it is happen only when i scan infection files the clam installed on virtual box machine and the clam work on the phisical pc but when i try to scan with the clam on the virtual machine i got this messages

i think maybe something gone bad with my installation any ideas what can i checked up ??

thanks

Error messages about file access and deny access are common during scans. If a file is in use when it is scanned, ClamWin cannot scan it then, so access is denied. These files are usually not infected. Some other files to which access is denied are used by the system. You may have to get administrator privilege to scan some files.

hi,
i have an administrator privilege
ive gote this error message for example for the virus "autorun.inf" and that file locate on a cd ..

so ther is any way to make a force scan? ther is a way to scan zip files with password?

There is no way to scan zipped files that have a password. ClamWin has to be able to open a file in order to scan it. That is the purpose of the password--to prevent unauthorized persons from doing anything with a file.
