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]
- .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.
