[clamav-win32] New version 0.94

[Brian Amundsen]

Nico, thanks for the information. I was just writing a reply to Jeff on
how I would go about setting up the installation.  I'm using chp.exe and
some shortcuts in my startup folder to initiate freshclam and clamd, but
I'll have to try your suggestion.

However I noticed a potential issue with 0.94.  I have freshclam
logging turned on.  If I check the log, I see that for some reason
freshclam is sending me the following:

WARNING: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't find or parse configuration file
C:\Program Files\clamAV\conf\clamd.conf

Since my clamd.conf is in the c:\progra~1\clamav folder and I have the
freshclam.conf file pointing to 
"NotifyClamd c:\progra~1\clamav\clamd.conf", then I'm
wondering if this is a coding issue in the NotifyClamD subroutine
comand of freshclam?  I can't find any other reference in clamd.conf or
in my shortcuts?  Nor do I find a registry entry for any WinNT routines
that would generate this warning.

TBB: Could you check the freshclam.exe coding or suggest to me a
different config file or spot to check for this warning? 
Is there a hard coded reference in freshclam that is pointing
to a path? Impact to clamav is that updates are getting to be 24 hours,
or the next reboot, old.  

Thanks, Brian A
IN GOD WE TRUST
