I deleted it and started the service and it did start without an error message. The ClamDaemonService.exe is in that directory and it has a Version. After I started the service, the Program file was created again with the following text in it: Tue Oct 23 13:05:54 2007 -> +++ Started at Tue Oct 23 13:05:54 2007 Tue Oct 23 13:05:54 2007 -> clamd daemon 0.91.2 (OS: windows, ARCH: i386, CPU: i686) Tue Oct 23 13:05:54 2007 -> Log file size limited to 1048576 bytes.
