Hi guys,
I have ClamWin on my Windows Server 2003. Every couple of weeks, Windows starts popping up a "x is corrupt and/or unreadable, please run chkdsk" or something to that effect. Various files have been corrupt, but always on the c: drive (there are 4 drives/5 partitions total on this computer). I always attributed it to the fact that this computer is a 24/7 torrenting machine, and didn't worry about it because chkdsk always gets everything back to normal.
I installed ClamWin last week on my girlfriend's Vista Ultimate SP1 32bit laptop. Within a few days, MANY files were getting the "corrupt file" error (everything from iexplorer.exe to various c:\windows\ files). I just fresh-installed her system about a month ago, and it ran flawlessly until now. No torrenting on it, or any other file sharing either. "toolbar.exe" was picked up and quarantined, but daily scans have picked up nothing else, btw.
Any thoughts? Searching the forums hasn't turned up anything. Thanks so much. I'm really looking forward to resolving this because ClamWin has been a great, lightweight prog that meets my needs very well!!!

technically clamwin cannot corrupt files, as default it's set as report only, it looks like your pc is not cleanly rebooted for some reason (overheat?)
false positives are always possible, I suggest to set clamwin as report only then report false positives to:
