Jeremy, Just to clarify, are you saying AlwaysUp can be used for more configurations but is not needed to run clamd as a service? Kindest regards,

Just run it once with that switch and it installs a regular Windows Service (which you can view with all the other services via the Services icon in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools). I've also successfully run clamd as a service using AlwaysUp (http://www.coretechnologies.com/products/AlwaysUp/) - it's an inexpensive, commercial program for running applications as services - it gives you a lot more control and functionality over PowerTools or similar Windows Service tools. - Jeremy > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeremy > Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 4:20 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [clamav-win32] Clam for W32 updates?
