Hi all, hoping you can shed some light on an oddity I've come across running Clamwin on two of the servers I administer.

I originally set up Clamwin to scan daily, during the night, but having noted that it ate a lot of CPU I decided to reschedule the scans for once a week. That was three days ago- since then the servers have continued to scan nightly. I can't see anywhere else to change the scan frequency, and this change took effect no problem on the other servers I run Clamwin on- it's just these two boxes that are still going.

One is running Server 2003 R2, the other is running Server 2003 SE SP2, if that's any help. Ideally I'd like to avoid rebooting the machines as they're live servers, so if anyone can suggest what will resolve this that'd be brilliant.

right-click on clamwin tray icon and "exit"
then start clamtray.exe from c:\program files\clamwin\bin folder

That should help

Thanks for that, I've just done that. Now just got to cross my fingers and hope a scan does't go through tonight.

you can check when the scan will run by looking at %tmp%\clamwin1.log after you start the tray

It ran again last night :\ If I delete that clamwin1.log file and restart clamwin, should that force it to take the new scan intervals? Or will that cause other complications?

Also, what is the filepath for that log file? I've just run a search on my C: drive and it's found nothing.
