AW: [clamav-win32] RE: Freshclam cdiff problem!

[Dr. R. M. Cadwell]

Thio,
	My sincere apologies if this is out of order but I have the same 
problem with the temp files so I just am downloading the latest build 
and see if that stops it. however I note that these are temp 
directories some with large bin files and it is a real pain to delete 
50-70 of these things each time. I asked Nigel about it and received 
the brush of so as I told him, it will not happen again. I will 
discontinue this list if i receive no reply wuithin 5 days and assume 
that neither my input or questions are warrented. since I was told that 
this  wasn't a Clamwin list. Thank you in advance and may you have a 
Bright Easter/Ostara/ ...
