Can you explain me this error message ?

another :

LibClamAV Warning: Multipart MIME message contains no boundaries


Thanks

Opinion from a "non-expert":

If you have other security software that kicks in before ClamWin, I suppose it could mean that software stripped a virus or spyware from the message. If not, then it could be an attempt to initiate a Denial of Service by overflowing.

Regards,

I'd installed clamwin 0.88.5 + Winpooch with Windows2000 ;

I'd changed to winXP and I only use clamWin 0.88.7 ; I didn't wanted install Winpooch

The pb is 48H of scanning. A this time, the scan is not finish !! But during, clamwin found a virus. I need to wait the end of the scan.

Thanks

Have you ever looked at the source of an email message with an attachment(s)? Most likely this error is some what diagnostic as a file it has scanned does not conform to to the standard for a multiple-part mime encoded file, typically an email. Think of it kind of like an html tag. , if you have multiple parts without those tags, how do you know where to start and end? This is just my assumption though.

RFC 1341MIME: Multipurpose Internet Mail ExtensionsJune 1992


7.2 The Multipart Content-Type

In the case of multiple part messages, in which one or more
different sets of data are combined in a single body, a
"multipart" Content-Type field must appear in the entity's
header. The body must then contain one or more "body parts,"
each preceded by an encapsulation boundary, and the last one
followed by a closing boundary. Each part starts with an
encapsulation boundary, and then contains a body part
consisting of header area, a blank line, and a body area.
Thus a body part is similar to an RFC 822 message in syntax,
but different in meaning.

I stopped the scan at the end of 55H because it was too long and slow. But

clamwin scan memory saw one virus which is called internet.exe



clamwin scan files and found this one



I destroyed this .exe, but I am anxious & skeptical

I reboot my PC, I started clamwin scan memory and it saw again the virus internet.exe

I started clamwin scan files & It began the error message of this post :



The scan became slow at this moment :



I waited the end of scan

In fact, there is a virus that clamwin don't see and who appears when I start my PC

I put the task manager of windows

My opinion--for what it's worth:

I didn't seen anything in your last ClamWin log saying ClamWin had quarantined anything. Make sure quarantine is on. There may be infector code that Clamwin doesn't recognize. Some viruses are multi-part. If you can identify the virus by name, try to do a search on the Web for information about it. That might tell you where it "hooks" into your system, which might help with removal.

For other removal help, you could try the free Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (Run it--you don't have to permanently download it on your system), LavaSoft's free Ad-Aware, or a free scan at one of the antivirus firm's Web sites.
Failing everything, I would download the trial version of Kaspersky or NOD32--make sure they have the virus in their databases firs.


Good luck.

Regards,

The quarantine is ok



I Dowloaded Lavasoft Ad-Aware & scan c:





Very crazy, but you become to know me, I am anxious & skeptical

So, I restart my PC & internet.exe re-appears. Now I download Kaspersky trial

Before, when I restarted, I re-scaned the memory with clamwin




I donwloaded Kaspersky® Internet Security 6.0 (spam, spyware, antivirus, firewall ... etc ...). It's necessary to delete clamwin to install Kaspersky

I scan my computer, but internet.exe was running in the memory ; Kaspersky Internet security didn't see it.

Result :



So, Kapersky restarts the computer & I run tasks manager : Internet.exe is always in the memory

I decided to go back to french Kaspersky to download the trial antivirus Pro 30 Days :



Virus names with Kaspersky, Lavasoft didn't see this ad-aware



internet.exe is a trojan !





It's finish because I checked tasks manager

Thanks so much for yours helps

Happy new year 2007

I'm glad you got rid of the virus.

I'm surprised Kaspersky made you take ClamWin off your computer, but they are very at marketing. You may be able to restore ClamWin after setting up Kaspersky. I noticed that you didn't have it set to quarantine any virus.

Many of the viruses around now are used to make money, and they are going to be tough to get rid of. All of us who use the Internet heavily need a good resident antivirus program that also handles the real dangerous spyware/adware in wide circulation. Hopefully ClamWin will be upgraded to resident status this year. You can't beat the price! Until then, it makes a good backup to a resident scanner.
