Introduction

ClamWin is a graphical front-end to the ClamAV anti-virus software that runs on Microsoft Windows. An easy to use installer program is provided.

Features include:

• Scheduler - set up scans to run at a defined time

• Automatic virus database updates via the Internet

• Automatic notifications of new ClamWin releases

• Standalone virus scanner

• Scanning of programs that are loaded in memory

• Context menu integration to Microsoft Windows Explorer - right click on a file to scan it

• Microsoft Outlook add-in to scan incoming and outgoing e-mails

Please note that ClamWin Antivirus does not include an on-access real-time scanner, that is, you need to manually scan a file in order to detect a virus. The Microsoft Outlook add-in, however, will delete a virus-infected attachment automatically, without any intervention from the user.
