Announcing clamav version 0.88.2.

This is an update from the previous release and for security purposes
all users are encouraged to update.

To update/install do:

    pkg_update -L clamav

Thanks again to Brian Reiter for continuing to maintain the build and
packaging of this application.

Brian has made several improvements/changes from previous releases:

quote:

These builds are cc-compiled and (obviously) statically linked. I've
daemonized freshclam so that cron and setuid behavior are no longer
required. I've also created hard links in the /common directory for
clamscan.exe and clamdscan.exe, which should be in the %PATH% on the Win23
side of things by default. This lets you invoke from the Windows world
without having to do any path
translation.

and

One of the things you can do is use this in conjunction with the "Virus
Scan" option of "Download StatusBar" extension for Firefox
[http://downloadstatusbar.mozdev.org/] to set up automatic scanning of
downloads. A simple batch script will invoke clamdscan, accept args and keep
the window open so you can read the result instead of having it flash by in
a split second:

@echo off
title ClamAV Scan
clamdscan %*
echo.
