I made some adjustments that should hopefully address the clamtray.exe cpu issue. Please download test thoroughly ands post back the reults. The beta is here:

Thanks

Hi alch,

first of all thank you very much for the great job you are doing!

I just downloaded the 0.88.1.2.exe, uninstalled the previous version (with windows uninstaller) and rebooted the machine.
Then installed the new version and started a manual scan.

Until now (observed it +/- 30 min) , clamscan.exe is consuming beween 0 and 98 % cpu and usually switches between 20 and 85 %.
Clamtray.exe is 0% cpu or very low and clamwin.exe is between 0 and 5% cpu.

As the manual scan has not finished yet, I can't tell you anything about time consumption and scan results.

I will try to get into the office tomorrow morning and observe what the scheduled scans are doing and post the results here.

Ran on two machines:

1st machine almost identical time +/- 2% or so.
2nd machine see below:

Maybe 10% faster?

An error message quickly showed right as the scan ended on both machines. It said something about not able to create what looked like a temporary file path or filename.

could you please clarify what versions these tests were done with?

Hi alch,

the new version works fine for me. The scheduled scans were finshed in +/- 2 hours for the c:\-drive and +/- 3 hours for the e:\-drive. I rescheduled the 3am scan to 8 pm to avoid conflicts with the 4 am. Like this it works without slowing down the system at user working times.

Thanks again for the work done and have a great long weekend!

i think the new version 0.88.1.2 works well, at least for a GUI scan with Clamwin.exe:
10 GB ~4,5 hour (with cygwin version 0.88.1 on the laptop and LOW priority)
10 GB ~3 hours (with version 0.88.1.2 on the laptop and LOW priority)

for scheduled scans i have to see, but i guess it will be ok.

Please test scheduled scans too as there was a major bottleneck which I hopefully addressed. I will then release the updated version to general public.

it works great now with 0.88.2.1.
thank you very much! great work!
