That's good to hear.
Runclamscan is just a wrapper to return the correct virus name to
Declude. It would be better really if Declude would modify their
code to accommodate ClamAV's reporting. Then there would not be a
need for the intermediate runclamscan wrapper. And the fewer
programs to call the better.
So if anyone from Declude is listening I think that would be a nice
feature for them to include in some future release.

The only real thing runclamd is supposed to do is to keep the
clamdscan service running on windows without anyone logged on to the
machine. There are other programs that do this just as well so don't
hesitate to use them if you think runclamd might be causing
problems.
I have had 3 basic problems with ClamAV:
1) when the ClamAV program itself changes - or changes with cygwin
stuff
2) there was an issue with one of the sosdg versions that reported
an unexpected return code - but that's a while back
3) some issues with the installation that caused file ownership
problems
Otherwise we've enjoyed really good results with it. As has been
mentioned it does a great job on the phishing exploits and it often
picks up a few other things that FPROT misses. With clamdscan we get
scanning speeds very similar to FPROT. (I know on this because on
our XMAIL server we track the speeds for FPROT as we do ClamAV)
Brian Burns of sosdg.org deserves a lot of credit for his work on
ClamAV for windows.
