[Ed: You probably don’t want to miss integrating ClamWin with SecurityCenter and SteadyState.]

Well, with a week dedicated to various Internet-browsing goodness, it’s probably a good idea to spend some time with some anti-badware measures to help keep your Windows install running smoothly. First on the list is Clamwin AV 0.93, a windows packaging of the Clamscan antivirus engine.

To deploy this package silently, we’ll need to generate an INF file. This can be accomplished by running the following, and going through the manual install steps:

clamwin-0.93-setup.exe /SAVEINF="C:\Temp\clamwin-0.93-script.inf"

Once you have generated the INF file, you can perform a silent installation mimicking the manual installation you performed by running the following:

clamwin-0.93-setup.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /LOADINF="C:\Temp\clamwin-0.93-script.inf"

It’s possible to change the target directory on-the-fly by running INIMAN on the INF file prior to running the above command. I’ll be getting into techniques for that another week. :)
