Hi Manna, The installer in the 32-bit section will install either the 64bit or 32bit edition. Unfortunately the layout of our downloads page is poorly structured and doesn’t convey this.

Just one last question for this thread. Are we expecting a stand-alone x64 installer (same as 32-bit) anytime soon? Or, will it always be a portable package as today ?

We don’t have any instructions at this time for how to run ClamAV as service on Windows. It would be really great to add that to our documentation and if you have any insights from your usage it would be most welcome. The portable installer is just a zip of the files that you can extract and use anywhere. My best guess is to do exactly as you suggested. Stop the service, replace the files (other than configuration), and then start it again. If you’re up for writing detailed instructions on how to create a clamav service on Windows and usage/upgrade notes we’d really appreciate the contribution. Our documentation is also open source located here: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-faq. Thanks for pointing out the version # is out of date. I’ll make a fix for that shortly.

I have a question regarding the installers (Portable and MSI) for windows. I am trying to understand what’s the best way to install an x64 portable on windows, since there is no step-wise guideline on the website. Am I supposed to stop my windows service, overwrite (except conf files) everything, and then restart the services? Or, is there any place I can look for step-wise instructions? FYI – I looked into the following area for the instructions on how to upgrade (portable) ClamAV packages: https://www.clamav.net/documents/upgrading-clamav https://www.clamav.net/documents/clamav-on-microsoft-windows-faq If I have missed it on the website, I sincerely apologise and would appreciate if people point me to the URL. Also, I would like to state that for 0.101.3 version, the documentation is pointing to incorrect links. I was wondering if this was observed already. Kindest Regards,
