It may be but I haven't been able to force it to happen so far. For me this is the first instance of this in more than one year. I am suspicious that it could be a Windows socket issue which is why I've changed the clamd.conf settings. If you also want to try this find clamd.conf (usually in C:\clamav-devel\etc) and open in an editor. Change the following in clamd.conf: Comment out with # the lines: LocalSocket /cygdrive/c/clamav-devel/clamd.sock FixStaleSocket yes Uncomment the lines: TCPSocket 3310 TCPAddr 127.0.0.1 Restart clamd by Stopping Runclamd and then restarting. Since you've had more occurrences it may be a better test. > As I mentioned, a completely separate process that copies my Sniffer > .snf file onto the same drive failed with a "could not copy file" > error That's very interesting although I'm uncertain what it may mean. --- This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
