Wikipedia / ClamWin Free Antivirus

ClamWin Free Antivirus is a free and open-source antivirus tool for Windows. It provides a graphical user interface to the Clam AntiVirus engine.

Features

  • Scanning scheduler (only effective with user logged in).

  • Automatic virus database updates on a regular basis.

  • Standalone virus-scanner.

  • Context menu integration for Windows Explorer.

  • Add-in for Microsoft Outlook.

  • A portable version that can be used from a USB flash drive.

There are Firefox extensions that allow the users to process downloaded files with ClamWin.

No real-time scanning

ClamWin Free Antivirus scans on demand; it does not automatically scan files as they are read and written.

The non-affiliated projects Clam Sentinel and Winpooch are add-ons that provide a real-time scanning capability to ClamWin.
