Error updating ClamWin 0.90 virus definitions

When I select Tools -> Virus Database Update, I get the following

ClamAV update process started at Tue Feb 27 23:57:33 2007
main.cvd is up to date (version: 42, sigs: 83951, f-level: 10, builder: tkojm)
daily.inc is up to date (version: 2674, sigs: 11406, f-level: 13, builder: ccordes)
LibClamAV Error: Database Directory: ..\..\..\Data\db not locked

I wasn't sure how serious the LibClamAV error was. I did not get that when using 0.88.7.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Clamwin 0.9 \Data\db not locked

Ron D.

I have the same error. Question is: is Clamwin functioning OK or not if I run it?

Try the ini

Try copying the INI file from Other\ClamWinPortableSource to the ClamWinPortable directory and see if that makes any difference. If it does, then it looks like the updater doesn't relative paths anymore (which kills Live mode). If it doesn't, then me thinks there is an issue with ClamAV (since Linux s are also reporting this).

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Error Stops

John,

Copying the INI file from Other\ClamWinPortableSource to the ClamWinPortable directory seems to stop the error. No idea what other effects it might have.

what's the exact location?

i tried to add the ini file to the clamwinportable directory, but it doesn't fix it? can you explain the exact locations, which folder in the clamwinportable?

Just copy

the "ClamWinPortable.ini" from
/PortableApps/ClamWinPortable/Other/ClamWinPortableSource
to
/PortableApps/ClamWinPortable/
That should work.

Thank you

Hello Simeon

Thank you for the information it worked for me as well. May I ask is this a mistake with the installation of the portable version or is it a problem with ClamAV.

I think its Clamwin

As John said here,its either Clamwin dropping relative path or something else. I googled around and Linux s had the same issue.
