I have placed ClamAV on Windows Servers.  I am running the clamd.exe in powershell and then I am running clamdscan.exe in a second powershell window.  

I have fixed the clamd.conf file  I have un #ed the exclusion for c:\windows  and I have taken the MaxDirectoryRecursion to  20.  

My powershell command for the clamdscan.exe is 

cd "c:\program files\clamav"

.\clamdscan.exe . --fdpass -mlv clamd.log "c:\"

The issues that I am having is that the clamd.exe is not reading the clamd.conf file because my c:\windows is still being scanned and I had a couple of places where the max directory was longer than 16.  

With me having the "c:\" in the clamdscan.exe powershell line, does it then bypass the exclusion list?

If so, how can I scan the C Drive with clamdscan in powershell?

I have the latest Clamav for Windows installed. 

Thank you.
