I use clamd on my server to scan email as it comes in. Also to rescan all
received emails at 8am for AEST customers, and 11pm for all my WA
customers who are 3 hours behind Melbourne time.

Use freshclam to update the signature files, you can use a scheduler
program to auto run FreshClam if you like.

To simply use the commandline scanner :-

c:
cd \usr\local\clamav\bin
clamscan.exe -r --move=\tmp --stdout --detect-broken --block-encrypted d:\mailroot

The above line will move anything in d:\mailroot that is broken (ie, broken email file)
encrypted zip file, or virus/worm infected file, to the "\tmp" directory. You
can simply specify a drive letter if you wish to scan the entire drive, ie "c:\"

clamscan gives you so many options to keep everyone happy :-)
Basic scan line to scan your entire drive could be as simple as

clamscan.exe -r --move=\temp --stdout c:\

I prefer to move files to a quarantine directory rather than delete them.
Look at Mcafee's latest hiccup ;-)

With the latest version of ClamAV, you can also now put the conf files
in your %etc% directory (ie, x:\mptn\etc).

Below is the clamd.conf file that I use, the original is very well
documented. Both this, and the freshclam files are setup for
both commandlime scanner, and the demon that runs in the
background.

ClamAV will also pickup many scam/phishing emails as people
like myself submit examples to clamav, and the damon is friggin
fast when called to scan incoming emails by an email server.

Or start it with:
freshclam --checks 12 --daemon
to start it in daemon mode and check for updates 12 times/day - ie every 
2 hours.

Hi Kris,

I installed a demo version of Indesign CS2 to see what it was like, and 
every time I ran it and reboot to ECS, I find airboot's configuration 
was corrupted and my system would not boot.  I thought it might have 
something to do with indesign, so I borrowed a copy of Premiere Pro 1.5

airboot fails.  Also after I repair airboot; boot to XP and run PP1.5, 
it tells me my system has changed and to re-register.  These are 
authorised versions of these programs, so I'm not sure why this is 
happening.

That's a Windy program, isn't it?

Looks like one way or another these programs run on instancy of Fdisk 
each time on startup, hereby altering the MBR. So, it might be more like 
a Windy problem  and I have to admit  and on the latter I'm absolutely 
uneducated.

Airboot2 has an option to  prohibit any change to the MBR, but in doing 
so might trigger other problems.

As these are Windows programs and from your description of the Air-Boot
problem, I suspect that these programs _MAY_ be hiding their registration
and copy protection in the MBR.  Unfortunately, Air-boot is also keeping its
configuration in a supposedly, unused area of the MBR.

I once had a similar problem and at the time, I could not work out what was
happening.  The program I was using in winxp was an Adobe product but,
as it was some time ago, I forget which one it was.  May have been either
Premier Pro or Acrobat Pro.  I too, am using Air-Boot 1.04.

If yours are registered then you should email Adobe support and complain
and if unresolved, demand money back.  I had a quick look at the Adobe
web site and the specs do not demand unrestricted access to the MBR,
nor in fact, is the MBR even mentioned at all.

HTH,

Mmm... What ever it does, it overrides Airboot's MBR protection.  Thanks

it might work if I xcopy everything to what space I have on my boot 
partition, remove my apps partition, install Boot Manager, recreate and 
xcopy my files back?  I know there's easier methods, but I don't have 
partition magic or the like.

Hi Gavin,

I just tried to send an email to the Air-Boot author, Martin Kiewitz
at <kiewitzDESPAM@DESPAMklinikum-konstanz.de>.

But I got a "Out of Office" reply which I quote below. 
So I am assuming his email address is still current and he _MAY_ be 
available for comment and/or help in the future, perhaps.

Would you be able or be prepared to give more info, regarding the problem
if Martin WAS able and willing to investigate this Air-Boot problem.?

Hi Gavin,

I have reported your fix, GAG, to the Air-Boot author.
I have also reported to him that only Air-Boot was affected by the Adobe
product problem.  Previously he had replied that it was of no concern to him
as he does not run windows.  :-(

Perhaps when he learns of your defection to another European product, he 
may decide to do something about it.  Here's hoping he does.  
Personally, I quite like Air-Boot and hope he takes the hint.

I found the url and for any that are also interested, here it is:-

Subject:   Faxworks and printing

Hi all!

Another one...

I have enjoyed using Faxworks/PMFax registered version for a loooooog time.

Last year did a clean install of eCS 1.2 but afterwards, PMFax refused to print
directly out of the Fax Window print menu. (NB: I only had to install eCS, then
restore things like INI file registration keys. For PMFax I only re-created the
object.)

However, I can save a fax as a <name.dcx> file, pick it up in PMView and print
from there quite successfully.

We are not receiving as many faxes as we used to, and junk faxes seem to be on
the rise again, so the workaround has sufficed to date.

However, it irks my sense of the OS/2 order of things that something which
worked before (and so well!) should have become unhinged like this.

Does anyone have any clues as to what I have done wrong?

Cross-posted to OS/2 Australia list and OS/2 WP list

Hi all!

I have been aware for a long time of an anomaly in DeScribe in favour of our
favourite OS/2 platform. 

That is that the v5.06 release is network aware, and will fully access
non-local drives.

OO v2 is not there yet, and MS-Word - best left unsaid. Incidentally, OO 1.14
for OS/2-eCS is a long way behind OO v2 for win.

Being forced to use Win XP at work now has brought this anomaly into focus.

I have installed the WinNT version of DeScribe at work and can bring work home
safely, send stuff to work, use the same menus etc.

The latest change has my Winxp box sharing within a Windows Domaiin Controller
higher security environment.
 
So I would like to find out if anyone has experience with a network-aware
DeScribe for Win, please.

If so, I would like to be able to use such a version in the same way as I use
the OS/2 version.

I would suggest you re-install the PMFax program completely as it seems 
that some setting has been lost.

Hi John,

I can print from PMFax Pro in eCS 1.2, so you may have to reinstall PMFax.

type "pmfax -Lc:\apps\pmfax" where c:\apps\pmfax is the location of your
PMFax install etc. The -L is for the log file location but this fixed a similiar
problem many years ago.

You did also reinstall the fax print Q in eCS ?

No help here but...

Using 
prndrv.exe -l 
I discovered that I DO have 
a Queue for FxPrint (the incoming fax gathering device )
a printer device for LPT3 (incoming fax from DOS apps)
a printer driver 'FXPRINT.Fax'  'D:\FAXWORKS\FXPRINT.DRV'

but I don't recognise anything else as a fax print Q...

[See attached [prndrv.txt]

Where to next, please?
