ClamAV Native Win32 Port

Unofficial native port of the well known ClamAV Antivirus, this port is used in ClamWin Antivirus

Sources can be found at the ClamWin GIT repository:

git clone git://clamwin.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/clamwin/clamav-win32.git

Build instructions:

Visual Studio 2005 Professional: open contrib/msvc/clamav.sln project and build
Visual Studio 2005 Express (untested by me): same of Professional but you need to install and setup platform SDK
Visual Studio 2008 Express/Professional (untested by me): open contrib/msvc/clamav.sln and say yes to convert the solution
MinGW: change directory to contrib/mingw, then run make

Notes for MinGW build:

MinGW gcc version greater than 4.2 have broken alloca(), my code uses it for path normalization, executables built with such gcc versions will hang forever at startup.
MinGW gcc 4.2.4 has a bug that prevents llvm to being built.
You may want to try the MinGW Environment I use to build MPlayer, it includes last gcc 4.2 branch snapshot with the patch to compile llvm applied
MinGW Build Environment with gcc 4.2.5 Unpack in c:\ or edit MinGW/etc/fstab accordling.

[Features]

[clamav] features: zlib bzip2 regex gmp mmap threaded
[clamav] small footprint
[clamav] nice icons ;)
[clamav] support for unc paths, esotic/long file names
[clamscan] memory scanner
[libclamav] dynamic libclamav.dll library common for all executables
[libclamav] support for 7zip archives
[freshclam] native dns txt query on win98/ME / DnsAPI query on Win2k+
[clamd/freshclam] also as Windows Services
[clamav] Digital Signature based False Positive check for Windows system files
[llvm] Standalone llvm dll, so the same binary can be used also on system where llvm is not supported (I suggest to remove the dll on Win9x/NT)

[Precompiled Binaries] - Changes

Current Stable 0.96.1 - crt version 8.0.50727.4053

clamav-win32-0.96.1.7z VS 2005 32bit build, it needs msvcrt80.dll Side by Side assembly (see notes)
clamav-amd64-0.96.1.7z Win64 build, it needs msvcrt80.dll 64bit Side by Side assembly (see notes)
clamav-mingw-0.96.1.7z MinGW build, no external crt needed, use it on old systems (e.g. nt4) or if you don't want to use additional files

[NOTES]

.7z files are 7-zip compressed files.
Memory scan of System processes needs Debug Privileges, on Windows XP Home Debug Privileges are disabled by default, thus you can use this little program to enable them. After executing it you'll need to reboot.
If you are confused about the choice of vs6 or vs2005 just pick the vs6 version that doesn't need extra libs, but vs2005 generates better code.
To use binaries compiled with Visual Studio 2005, you need the msvcrt80 side by side assembly, the "simple way" is uncompress crt 7zip archives in the executables directory, the directory Microsoft.VC80.CRT must be placed as is, placing dlls directly in the same directory of the executable will not work. On windows 9x you should put the dll and the manifest in windows system directory without the Microsoft.VC80.CRT directory. For more info about this refer to the relative msdn-page. You can also install the redist installers provided.
