Hello shailen0306,

Well, then probably it may be hard coded (a developer may answer here better). Could you explain why you are looking ? This may motivate some more people to answer Smile

I am not sure, if ClamWin is designed for this ? (If it is designed for that, could you shailen0306 explain what steps you tried ?)
Also here again: why you want that ? There is ClamTray which can run from windows start and then you can set up schedules, but in case you search for on-access scanning, see https://forums.clamwin.com/viewtopic.php?t=1185&highlight=scanning here

ClamWin doesn't have a service, so that might be why you're unable to find that. The only real use of the registry would be to run clamwin at startup and maybe to install the shell-extension into explorer.

@ shailen0306 : If you really want to know the details, you can check out the setup.iss file from subversion (have a look at https://clamwin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/clamwin/trunk/clamwin/Setup/Setup.iss?revision=1387&view=markup https://clamwin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/clamwin/trunk/clamwin/Setup/Setup.iss?revision=1387&view=markup.
This is a script to generate the installer using InnoSetup, and contains all registry settings that are used.

there is no clamwin service, so exiting tray would stop all clamwin processes in Windows

@alch. I agree with that..So any idea if there is any changes in registry keys when "clamwin process is running" and when "clamwin process is stopped"??

No.

I don't want to sound rude, howeve please refer to clamwin source code or use tools like RegMon for answers to such questions.
