I apologize if this has already been addressed. I did a search and look through the FAQ and didn't find an answer. I've been using ClamWin for a few months now. For the last few days, whenever I attempt to do anything through the tray icon I get an error message that says "An error occured while starting ClamWin Free Antivirus scanner. [Errno 22] Invalid argument" (I tried to get a screen cap but the error message wouldn't stay up) I can open and use ClamWin through my start menu without any problems. The system tray icon opens automatically when I start up my computer. I get this message after right-clicking the icon and choosing anything on the menu, not just Open ClamWin. How do I restore tray function?

Thanks!

I suspect an error in configuration.
To try and fix it please do the following:

1) Close clamwin tray
2) go to startmenu-run then type cmd and click OK.
3) In the command prompt type this:
move "%appdata%\.clamwin" "%appdata%\.clamwin.bak"
4) type "%programfiles%\Clamwin\bin\clamtray.exe" to start clamwin tray

It will move clamwin config to another folder. If that doesn't help try uninstalling and reinstalling clamwin
