ClamWin Antivirus - Download Free Open Source Antivirus Software
Nov 24th, 2008 by jayrss.com
I don’t run this personally, but I have colleagues who do and swear by it. It has a small, light antivirus scanner with frequently updated definition files. And if you don’t have any antivirus software, it’s certainly better than that. This is from the site:
ClamWin is a Free Antivirus program for Microsoft Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003 and Vista.
ClamWin Free Antivirus comes with an easy installer and open source code. You may download and use it absolutely free of charge. It features:
* High detection rates for viruses and spyware;
* Scanning Scheduler;
* Automatic downloads of regularly updated Virus Database.
* Standalone virus scanner and right-click menu integration to Microsoft Windows Explorer;
* Addin to Microsoft Outlook to remove virus-infected attachments automatically.
Please note that ClamWin Free Antivirus does not include an on-access real-time scanner. You need to manually scan a file in order to detect a virus or spyware.
