Meanwhile I have installed the newer version of ClamAV, although not reflected 
on the website, and indeed the temp directories now don't add up anymore, but 
as Bret Miller mentioned (Thank you Bret for help!) the cdiff-Problem remains:

Nigel doesn't update the date on the ClamAV build when he updates it so the 
only reason I know the build changed is because I have a neat little perl 
script that checks for updates (checks the header for the timestamp on the 
file, downloads if necessary and notifies me when it changes).

This is one of the very reasons that my service program keeps the .conf files 
in its own folder and copies them to conf when it's time to start the program. 
The only problem is that the format of the .conf files can change between 
builds, so you can end up with an incompatible version unless you check them 
every time. That's what happened to the Tech-Protect developers. Their 
interface stopped working when one of the clamuko___ options ceased to be 
parsed. And that's the second reason I keep my .conf files in another folder 
(because Tech-Protect overwrites the ones in the conf folder). 

I have a script that uninstalls and reinstalls ClamAV. I could probably tweak 
it to preserve the .conf files if there's interest. It stops Tech-Protect (if 
it finds it) and my ClamAV service, uninstalls ClamAV, reinstalls ClamAV, and 
restarts the service and Tech-Protect (if found).
The only interaction required is it the ClamAV uninstall prompts because it 
thinks something is using it (just click ignore). 

Looks like it's time for a ClamAV resource page...
