AlwaysUp lets you do things like automatically restart the service if it crashes, or send email alerts, and that kinda stuff. But if you just want to run clamd as a service without any bells and whistles, then you don't need a program like AlwaysUp, you can just run clamd with the --install switch to install the built-in service feature (assuming you have clamd from http://hideout.ath.cx/clamav or http://oss.netfarm.it/clamav). - Jeremy "Jeff" wrote in message news:001301c9815b$81cf8e00$856eaa00$@com... > Jeremy, > > Just to clarify, are you saying AlwaysUp can be used for more configurations > but is not needed to run clamd as a service? > Kindest regards, > > Jeff Lamb > -----Original Message----- > From: clamav-win32-bounces@lists.clamav.net > [mailto:clamav-win32-bounces@lists.clamav.net] On Behalf Of Jeremy > Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 3:46 AM > To: clamav-win32@lists.clamav.net > Subject: Re: [clamav-win32] Clam for W32 updates?
