Opening Googleâ€™s Files
Upon installation, Google Desktop Search makes two folders. The first of these, with the default location
\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search stores the executables and DLL files required to run the
application. The other, with the default installation \Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
Settings\Application Data\Google\Google Desktop Search (where <username> equates to the user that installed
the application) stores a series of files named dbc2e.ht1, dbdam, dbdao, dbeam, dbeo, dbm, dbu2d.ht1, dbvm.cf1,
dbvmh.ht1, fii, fii.cf1, fiih.ht1, hes.evt, outlook_data, rpm.cf1, rpmh.ht1,and sites.txt. These files are not always
present, and there are also several temporary files that are used by the program. Of these, several are human
readable, but the majority are not. The file sites.txt is merely a list of different Google mirrors (for example,
google.com, google.com.au, etc). The files dbdam, dbdao, dbeam, and dbeao are text-based, and appear to show
the process of GoogleDesktopCrawl, and represent all files indexed and websites visited

your clamwin is outdated, the last version says you the reason about not being able to open some files, but in my opinion
these files are read-locked bym google desktop so it's harmless.
I suggest you to upgrade anyway
