I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying one just needs to run each '.exe'
with the '-install' switch (one time) and that will create a Windows service
for each that can then be set up to run while logged off?

So far, I have only been able to get Nigel's version with Power Tools to
work properly with my e-mail server and a Perl upload script. I have tried
the others with third party Windows service makers, but could not get them
to work.

I use the native Windows build at http://hideout.ath.cx/clamav, which does
in fact have service mode support built in. If you run 
clamd.exe and/or freshclam.exe from the command line using the --install
switch, it will install a Windows service for each of them. 
And it doesn't use Cygwin either! :)

Cheers,
Jeremy
