Fixed: Diff update code not working correctly since 1.17
Fixed: A second temp directory is being created at a different level
Deactivated the automatic recompression of the database after diff updates to increase update speed and performance. Compressing and decompressing several times a day to save 15Mb of disk space makes no sense.

Now passes all the virus tests from http://www.webmail.us/testvirus and http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/ (real virus tests only, clamav is an virus scanner, not an exploit scanner)
