ClamWin: What is this error: Could not start process ??

I started ClamWin and it asked to update viruses, which I said yes to. It then started the update process, but I get this message:

Could not start process:
".\freshclam.exe" --stdout --datadir="..\..\..\Data\db" --config-file="c:\docume~1\jhhlib~1\locals~1\temp\tmp_9ol8j" --log="c:\docume~1\jhhlib~1\locals~1\temp\tmp7a0tio"
Error: Could not start process.
.\freshclam.exe
File does not exist.

I had this before for a previous version. I updated and it seemed to work fine, but it has happened again.

ClamWin ver is 0.95.1.

Any ideas?

Just did a search and the file freshclam.exe is not anywhere in the clamwin tree. It must have been there before, as I have updated it. But gone now. I will reinstall and keep an eye on things.

Hi Mir, the reference to the

Hi Mir, the reference to the "C" drive, from the path he has shown, seems to be to the "temp" area of his profile, which is used by the portable version while it is running.

I would suggest redownloading a fresh copy and starting from scratch, which seems to be his plan.
