    No active virus scanner. Only detect virus if you do an scan.

    The scan is too slow.

    Not having an active virus scan means that you can safely use clamwin along side other active scanning anti-virus tools. Think of clamwin as a good, lightweight and portable backup AV as apposed to you primary one.

    This is one of the lighter weight alternatives. It works great for scheduled virus scans and for scanning individual files that you download from questionable sources. Thumbs up.

    I could have used clamwin as my primary snti-virus solution if only it had on access scanner. BEing free and more importantly open source it is a terrific product. But alas without resident protection the best it can do is to be a secondary scanner.

    Only two good things: it's free and portable.

    While it´s (currently) no replacement for a decent on-access scanner (as ClamWin doesn´t support this) it´s perfect for a secondary detector: occasionally run it to verify that indeed no infection has filtered through your defences.

    nice program, simple to use.

    Overall:

    It's open source. It does what it says it does, and it does it damn nicely I must add. Version 0.93 is much faster then its predecessors. 'Nuff said!

  • JohnCrenshaw novice
    Overall:

    I've had to ditch every other anti-virus tool I've ever had (including Norton and McAfee) because they don't play nice with Visual Studio. I've never had a problem with Clam Win. My one gripe is that it seems to make Outlook lag.
