ClamAV made another leap forward and introduced new level of functionality (visit http://www.clamav.net fro more details).
ClamWin Release 0.35.3 is a maintenance update with clamav binaries version 0.80. This will stop "Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED - please update immediately!" when downloading virus database update.

Some other minor changes:
- Date header added to email alerts
- Setup should work for non-admin users (if you are upgrading a non-admin install please uninstall older version first)

Please upgrade as soon as possible and report any issues arising from this upgrade as I didn't have much time to test this release thoroughly.
