    It seems that after I posted the problem to the Forums, I have discovered a solution.

    Apparently, a bug in the software that occurs as a result of some daylight savings time/end of the year irreconcilability and the coincidence that users sometimes turn their computers off at this time (i.e. they're on holiday) causes the software to miss scheduled scans. Then, the software decides that it needs to open several hundred instances of the scanner to complete the scheduled scans.

    This bug will be resolved in the next release of ClamWin, but there is an available solution now!

    Simply delete the following file......... C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp\ClamWin_Scheduler_Info

    I'm guessing you'll need to delete this file in each of your user's %temp% directories...
