freshclam doesn't start, missing certs path

[nit3rain]

With the latest ClamAV 1.5.1, freshclam doesn't start and reports the error:

ERROR: Failed to create a new code-signature verifier: Can't verify: Invalid certs directory 'C:\ClamAV\certs': The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3)
ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam init failed.
ERROR: Initialization error!

(ClamAV is installed in C:\Program Files\ClamAV\ in my setup)

After short investigation, it turned out that freshclam is now looking for CvdCertsDir in the registry, so I added the correct certs path and freshclam started working again.

It should better be mentioned in the readme and added to the sample clamav.reg.

Is it because ClamAV doesn't update its database on Windows 98/XP/7 with last version of ClamWin?

No, in my case it was because the new ClamWin now looks for CvdCertsDir in Windows registry, otherwise it can't find the certificates, unless it was installed in the default path C:\clamav\ I guess.
So I have added the following to the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ClamAV]
"CvdCertsDir"="C:\\Program Files\\ClamAV\\certs"

Thank you, I open a new ticket.
