Errr..what?! Surely not! Why would someone want to wait for 6 month after a new release of a virus scanner before installing it? Besides that version 0.94.2 which you appear to run was released merely 4 month ago and has nothing to do with the official ClamAV page. The ClamAV dev team has indeed stopped supporting the Win32 platform since version 0.92.1 but that means binary releases (and completely dropped support for Cygwin versions).

As for ClamWall there's unfortunately nothing I can do. Lukas is aware of the issue with 0.95 but didn't look into it yet. As it seems many applications which connect to ClamD's socket have problems since 0.95, such as ClamWall or ASSP (aka Perl's File::Scan::ClamAV module), but the changes to the stream protocol are all documented at the ClamAV page. Besides, as long as I get no feedback from the developer(s) of these applications I can't even tell what the problem is.

Best regards,

I have a message on my ClamAV terminal window that says my version is outdated.  When I went to the website and looked for an update on the win32 platform it says that it's not supported anymore.  Am I reading this wrong?  I'm running 94.2 and the newest version is 95.

It's supported and the best place to get a windows version is from http://hideout.ath.cx/clamav  That said, there are problems with the v95 and  Clamwall and so you really need to say at v94.2 until Clamwall is updated.

Nope, but I would make sure that it's working with one of my many test setups before putting it into production.  [;)]
