Nigel doesn't update the date on the ClamAV build when he updates it so the only reason I know the build changed is because I have a neat little perl script that checks for updates (checks the header for the timestamp on the file, downloads if necessary and notifies me when it changes). > Further a suggestion to Nigel Horn, the developer of the > windows version: > It would be nice to get the files apart from the Windows > Installer msi-file, so that I simple could copy them over > and restart clamd.exe, without first saving the config files, > uninstall the whole program, install the new one, > check the new options in the config files and modify them > accord the changes I've made in the old ones. > This is very annoying. This is one of the very reasons that my service program keeps the .conf files in its own folder and copies them to conf when it's time to start the program. The only problem is that the format of the .conf files can change between builds, so you can end up with an incompatible version unless you check them every time. That's what happened to the Tech-Protect developers. Their interface stopped working when one of the clamuko___ options ceased to be parsed. And that's the second reason I keep my .conf files in another folder (because Tech-Protect overwrites the ones in the conf folder). I have a script that uninstalls and reinstalls ClamAV. I could probably tweak it to preserve the .conf files if there's interest. It stops Tech-Protect (if it finds it) and my ClamAV service, uninstalls ClamAV, reinstalls ClamAV, and restarts the service and Tech-Protect (if found). The only interaction required is it the ClamAV uninstall prompts because it thinks something is using it (just click ignore). Looks like it's time for a ClamAV resource page...
