[clamav-users] clamscan: permission denied on many files being used by another process

[Michael Wang]

Hello all ClamAV users:

I run ClamAV on windows using the latest portable installation with all
default configuration. I run the task scheduler under the SYSTEM user with
the highest credentials checked, but I still have lots of permission denied
messages.

I logged in locally and checked one of the files under a powershell window
as *ADMINISTRATOR*, and I got:

*PS C:\Users\j.doe\AppData\local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache> more .\V01.log*
*Get-Content : The process cannot access the file
'C:\Users\j.doe\AppData\local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\V01.log' because
it is being used by another process.*

So do I have to live with it? If there is a virus file and this file is
being currently used, clamscan cannot detect it?
