Ouch. There is though a performance difference:

 <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.
