You have "ClamAV devel-20050725" build and packaged from www.sosdg.org, so you have a package that includes _some_ Cygwin DLL (version?) and, as you have shown: it doesn't work sometimes! Two possible problems: was the CVS version stable? was the Cygwin DLL stable? (I 'm not going to discuss the quality of their distribution, I just don't use it and I didn't like it when I evaluated it for a server). > And I found the "problem".

No, the way you write a path is not significant for Cygwin (it is translated internally by the dll). What may be significant is how the drive is mounted, file permissions/ownership, if this is a "network drive"... But you wont be able to see those details if you dont have Cygwin installed. > Comparing the debug output it does find the virus directly > after recognizing it as executable file.

Recomendation: Try the Cygwin package. -- René Berber _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
