Hi, If clamdscan calls clamd when it is run as a scheduled task is there a reason for having clamd running as a windows service? It appears that it would be loaded and using RAM for no reason.
Alternatively, Rob has mentioned that I could just use clamscan which includes clamd functionality as a scheduled task and again this appears to indicate there is little to be gained by having clamd as a service on windows. On my windows server 2003 I don't have a mail server, which I assume is the key reason for having clamd as a service so that it can be called as email goes in and out.
