Ouch. There is though a performance difference: >From "Brian Bruns" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - developer of ClamAV for win32 <quote> However, I've been notified of a serious issue surrounding ClamAV and Cygwin. Apparently, clamd.exe causes UDP ports to be opened for no reason, and they hang in the open state. The only way to really fix this is to kill off clamd.exe and restart it. I use a program from http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/processutil/processutil.htm which makes it rather easy to kill off clamd.exe cleanly. Using the regular clamscan.exe is the only way to completely avoid his issue - but you end up taking a major performance hit. We believe this problem is with Cygwin and not ClamAV, so theres limited I can do on my end until I can hash out the issue with a Cygwin developer. </quote> -Nick Hayer > > >> -Nick Hayer > > > > The problem was not Clam after all (and clam was never crashing, > > IMail SMTPD was).
