UPDATE DECEMBER 28, 2011
******
Here is a link to a pet of ClamAV 0.97.3 compiled for Puppy Linux 5.28, i686.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/l8y0s55111ed7lo/clamav-0.97.3-i686.pet

Please note that the former host I was using, myfreefilehosting, is down. The new pet is on mediafire.

******
UPDATE DECEMBER 27, 2011
******

This pet of ClamAV 0.97.0 still works with Puppy Linux 527 but the most recent version of ClamAV is 0.97.3. Freshclam will report the version needs to be updated. A new version will have to be compiled.

UPDATE MARCH 31, 2011
******

This pet also works with Puppy Linux 2.14x Top7. I tried it myself.

UPDATE MARCH 21, 2011
******

I have been informed by Dale that the version I compiled for Puppy 4.3.1 also works in Puppy 5.1.1

UPDATE MARCH 19, 2011

Here is the clamav 0.97.0 pet. It is a full build. The freshclam.conf file is pre-configured.

File name: clamav-0.97-i386.pet
File size: 30.69MB
Description tags: ClamAV 0.97 for Puppy LInux 431

http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/57c8e5aae6_30.69MB

Here is a freshclam.conf file which is included in the pet but I'm enclosing it here for reference.

File name: freshclamconf.tar.gz
File size: 0.1MB
Description tags: The freshclam.conf file for ClamAV 0.97

http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/07734a442f_0.1MB

Note that I did not configure clamd.conf. I do not use the daemon myself so I figure configuring it is best left to experts. However clamd is in the build.

Lastly, my tutorial which describes how to compile clamav and has some examples on how to update freshclam and use clamscan. Suggestions welcomed.

File name: How_To_Compile_ClamAV.tar.gz

Enjoy,

I've pre-configured the freshclam.conf files to use root, since we run as root. And other various settings, so alter the conf files if you wish to do so.

To update the virus database open a terminal and type:

nope doesn't work on 2.14X, wrong GlibC.

Hi ttuuuxxx,

I just finished compiling the 214X version this morning. I'll post it. By the way, its drastically smaller.

My intent is to recompile ClamAV for 214x, until then I have removed the link. I'll include it in the first post from here on out.

Hi Stormson5150,

Yeah, I signed up for a "better" account with them but there's some kind of browser related glitch, it didn't work in Seamonkey or Opera. I tried to transfer the file to it but got an error when I try to click on the file upload link in the account. Oddly, the front page upload works brilliantly. I'll have another go and let you know what the upload link is.

Hi there yorkiesnorkie...

I'm not sure if this will help, but I do know that some other host sites have issues with seamonkey...

The work around for those, if I remember correctly, was to change the user agent using an addon called, surprisingly enough, "User Agent Switcher" found here;

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/59/

I hope this helps.... Regardless of what some may say, I feel it is simply good form and good sense for ALL people to have (and use) a decent anti-virus program, no matter the OS. I for one thank you for you're efforts!

I hate slowshare. Have a look at these: Puppy Linux Discussion Forum :: View topic - Hosts for large files.

[yorkiesnorkie]

I'll try some of the other hosts as well. Sorry for the delay!

Hi,

I ran through a couple of the services, which either slowed to a crawl and did nothing on the upload, or the sites didn't allow uploades of a single file larger than 24mb. So, Rapidshare seems to be working with main page uploads, although strangely the "premium" service upload doesn't work very well at all. That is my experience in Seamonkey and Opera. While annoying, I can get the upload up there and will make an attempt to move the subsequent upload to the premium account. The reason I say next upload is that I seem to have missed the opportunity to move the file on the first go around. So, if you find you can't download ClamAV 0.96.1 again, just let me know, I'm following this post.

Vis-a-vis the uploads and versions of Clamav, perhaps it's good the links do expire as the versions of Clamav are sure to change with time. This was my first real attempt at compiling an application for Puppy, and it goes pretty well now that I've got a handle on how it's done. Actually, I found it surprisingly easy to do but some patience is required.

If anyone has issues with the pet or conf files please let me know.

[chrismt]

I installed this on Quirky 1.2

Can you help me to configure the freshclam.conf

I cannot update it

[yorkiesnorkie]

Hi chrismt,

Well, I'll do what I can. I compiled this on Puppy Linux 4.31, not Quirky, so I'm not sure if that plays any part here. Basically, the freshclam.conf file should already be modified but you can check it.

See if the freshclam.conf file is modified /etc/freshclam.conf as follows:

[chrismt]

This is what I see when I type freshclam in the console

ERROR: Please edit the example config file /etc/freshclam.conf
ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/freshclam.conf

Hope you can help me
