Hi List, Just posting to share two solutions for antivirus on XPe that I've tested are both free, and fairly simple to install. First is ClamAV from portableapps.com Second is Trend Micro's Sysclean For some background, I needed standalone AV applications for XP embedded and this AV package needed to get pushed down to the XPe boxes without any user interaction. Because of these constraints, I could not run the installation on each XPe. What I did is run these as a regular installation on a test XPe system and determined the files and folders for the installation directory -- the benefit to the ClamAV portableapps version and Trend's Sysclean is there are no registry entries or changes, and the necessary DLLs and executables reside in the same directory. After the install on the test box, I copied the relevant folders to a USB stick, added a simple batch script to copy from the USB to the XPe hard drive, and voila! Hope this helps people who are looking for a fast, easy anti-virus installation for Microsoft XP embedded systems.
