ClamAV is a Windows command line version of the GPL licensed anti-virus solution.

It includes a set of command line tools, including a high speed scanning daemon, that can be used to scan computers for viruses, or used by mail servers or proxy servers (via command line) to clean incoming messages.

The program offers free definition updates and comes with detailed (PDF) documentation. Suited for advanced users only.

What's New in ClamAV 0.103.2 :

This is a security patch release with the following fixes:

- CVE-2021-1386: Fix for UnRAR DLL load privilege escalation. Affects 0.103.1 and prior on Windows only.
- CVE-2021-1252: Fix for Excel XLM parser infinite loop. Affects 0.103.0 and 0.103.1 only.

- Fix possible memory leak in PNG parser.
- Fix ClamOnAcc scan on file-creation race condition so files are scanned after their contents are written.
- FreshClam: Deprecate the SafeBrowsing config option. The SafeBrowsing option will no longer do anything. For more details, see our blog post from last year about the future of the ClamAV Safe Browsing database.
- FreshClam: Improved HTTP 304, 403 and 429 handling.
- FreshClam: Added the mirrors.dat file back to the database directory.
- FreshClam will now exit with a failure in daemon mode if an HTTP 403 (Forbidden) was received because the outcome won't change if it tries again later. The FreshClam user will have to take appropriate action to get unblocked.
- Fix the FreshClam mirror-sync issue where a downloaded database is "older than the version advertised."
