Can I have a copy of the wrapper you created? -----Original Message----- From: Liron Newman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 8:59:12 AM
I noticed two major problems with XAV (I've notified the author but received no response): 1. munpack that comes with it doesn't support long filenames, so you could say XAV would never work unless you do something with it, like I did (I wrapped it with a batchfile that converts the filenames, e-mail me if you want it). 2. Unlike the AV commandline sample, XAV requires paths with spaces to be surrounded with double quotes just like any other Windows app, i.e.: AntivirusPath="c:\program files\grisoft\avg6\avgscan.exe" and not AntivirusPath=c:\program files\grisoft\avg6\avgscan.exe These things may only be issues on my system, I don't know. Anyway, I've solved them and now XAV is working great and stopping viruses by the dozens. BTW, I'm working with the author of ripMIME (http://www.pldaniels.com/ripmime/) on making a Win32-native version. There's a test build he should run a few tests on and then I'm going to replace munpack with ripMIME (That can also extract files from Office documents, etc.). I'll notify this list when it's ready of course. D.Spork wrote: >I was also strugeling with xav.
