I keep getting message saying "An error occurred whilst scanning . Unable to lock database directory" or "malformed base directory."

This happens each time I try to send email and email does not go.

And computer has frozen a few times.

What does this mean and how can I get rid of it?

Try this:
1) open clamwin preferences-file locations then copy the path to the virus database folder into clipboard
2) paste it into Windows Explorer address bar and press Enter
3) delete all files/folders inside the database folder
4) download virus database update from the ClamWin application

Hope it helps.
