  • DB 399 and clamav

    From Vince Coen@2:250/1 to All on Mon Dec 11 14:48:27 2017
    Hello All!

    I have noticed a function in mbse that technically allows me to issue an file adopt process without a virus test.

    Due to a coding bug this is not working but will be by end tomorrow.

    Therefore I can get around the issue, for now but the problem with clam is still present.

    Does any one know what is the procedure to report the false error to them.

    Nick if you know exactly what element of code within the distro .exe is causing
    it can you modify the coding stream / or data block within the affected program
    within that stops the problem ?

    I am 'assuming' here it is a data block that looks like the virus signature et al.

    Goto http://www.clamav.net, click Contact at top, scroll down to False Positive

    and fill out report :)

    The bad code (to ClamAV) is in the Sleep.exe program, not DB itself.

    Thanks for the info, I cannot run it on my windows system as it is a Win10 X64.

    Installer will not run.

    Best of luck with that approach. I've done that a few times, no response whatsoever. Absolutely terrible support, that Clam Chowder program.

    {chuckle} I know, but he asked, so ... maybe a submission with all the files just zipped up instead of one big file would help. Or maybe just sleep.exe? That way they could key off the Sleep.Exe positive :)
