VIRSCAN and AVG V8 (Free Edition)

AVG V8 has been released by the vendor (AVG Technologies). It replaces previous versions, but is installed in a new directory. To use this new version of AVG with Virscan 4.9.2 to scan attachments in Pegasus Mail you need to update Virscan.ini with the lines:

AVOK=1
Cmdline=C:\Progra~1\AVG\AVG8\avgscanx.exe "%f" /ARC /NOBOOT /NOMEM

To obtain AVG V8 from the vendor go to: http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download?prd=afe

If you have problems with this new version of AVG and Virscan, post a question in this forum please

Martin,


I discovered your post after I sent you a private email to the address listed in Thomas's post.

I have recently

"upgraded" to AVG free 8.0 and after following avg's setup I seem to

have a choice between no virus scanning and no email.
In  a separate thread, Thomas R.

Stephenson has suggested that I turn off the avg email scanning and use

virscan instead. I downloaded the Virscan zip file and could use some

help.


While I have been using computers since the punch card days, I

consider myself a novice when it comes to antivirus tweaking and

command line entries. I am an end user using pmail as a stand alone

client at home (have been using without problems since the early 90s).

I am not a system admin.


1st a question, the installation instructions say:

If this is the first time to install Virscan
  o  Rename Virscn32.f to Virscn32.fff
  o  Rename Virscan.i to Virscan.ini

No problem renaming the ini file Upon unzipping I find 2 files:

Virscn32.f (dated1/4/06) and virscn32.fff (dated5/26/04) --I am not

sure what to do.

I am not sure haw to edit the ini file:
;  Virscan version 4.92

;
[virscan]
YesMsg=Click YES if Virus scan was Ok
NoMsg=Click NO if Virus scan detected a problem
OkStatus=Virus scan ran OK
BadStatus=deleted by Virscan extension
Advice=C:\WINNT\NOTEPAD.EXE C:\virscan.err

Trace=No
denyextensions=VBS,PIF,SCR,BAT

<wbr>,EXE<br>SkipExtensions=pm$,tmp,txt,jpg<wbr>,jpeg,gif,bmp,png,!<br>notify=<br>NotifyMsg=<br>WantYesNo=False<br>CheckFN=True<br>AVOK=0<br>EncZip=Deny<br>CleanMsg=<br>ResultFile=<br>EmptyResultFile=<br><p>;<br><br>; <br>; For AVG V5 scanner something like:<br>; CmdLine=c:\grisoft\avg6\Avgse<wbr>.exe /SCAN "!f" <br>;      or for AVG V7<br>; CmdLine=c:\progra~1\grisoft<wbr>\avgfre~1\avgw.exe /se /quit "%f"<br>;   AVG V8   (need to code AVOK=1 as well) <br></wbr></wbr></p><p><br>_____________________________________________</p></wbr></wbr>

How would I actually modify the ini.

Also the instructions use different language and show an edit LogSize=5000 -- ther is no LogSize in the ini and.

With regard to the other instructions, they leave me somewhat confused:

It seems to me that I want AVG to scan anything that virscan doesn't--does this mean that I need to make EncZip=allow
Shold I change the YesMsg & NoMsg lines to exacly match the Instructions.


Thank you.
