I have set up scheduled scans for my PC and for other servers to run on a daily basis at 4:00 am. When I display the scan report there is nothing to show. My Reports Preferences are to save the log file to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\.clamwin\log\ClamScanLog.txt, but no such file exists. There's also no indication that anything is happening with it in the windows event viewer.

What am I doing wrong here Question

No, I reboot my machine every day before I leave. Is there any way to get this to work when not logged in?

I'm not sure, Mike, but this recent thread might give you an idea if you have an older system.

My system runs WindowsXP but I'm going to try running this through a command-line interface. Thanks for the input.

The ClamWin Scheduler only runs when you are logged on (ClamTray.exe needs to be running).

If you want to bypass this, you'll have to write a batch file that calls clamscan with the necessary arguments and schedule that batch file with Windows Task Scheduler or some other scheduler service.
