I'm not seeing the growth in memory usage here for some reason. Maybe I
don't have some option enabled that you do.
Anyway, I have a service that I wrote before I discovered this one, and
since I've shared it out before, why not again. Here's what it does:
Installs itself in %ProgramFiles%\clamAV\services, and if clamd.exe
isn't in %ProgramFiles%\clamAV, installs clamAV. Installs a service
called ClamAV for Windows and starts it.
Looks to see if it can find clamd.exe in either of the default locations
for this build or the SOSDG one. You can override this by creating a
ClamPath value in the Parameters registry key for the service. This is
the path to the folder, not the .exe file.
Starts clamd.
Beginning 2 minutes after started, and every hour following, launches
freshclam.exe to update defs.
This was recently updated to handle quirks of Tech-Protect which
overwrites the .conf files with ones that don't work currently. So, the
real conf files are in the services folder. Those are copied to the conf
folder prior to launching clamd or freshclam to insure we have a version
that works.
You can get the installer here:
http://webmail.wcg.org/~support/ClamAVService_setup.exe
License? Use freely at your own risk.
If you need it, I could provide this in zip format so you can manually
install for more complex environments.
