Bump... Can anyone confirm that clamav-win does not scan memory resident

Thanks,

ClamWin (not clamav-win32 the official port) scans on disk processes loaded in memory (as you think), and if an executable "looks" (by using some heuristics) packed it gets dumped from memory and then scanned, tough not very useful because of missing signatures of such kind It's not really scanning memory, but it can easy spot loaded malware without scanning the whole system
