"Not ready yet!"
Version: Winpooch 0.6.6
Pros
The idea is good. I look forward to a tool that will hook into ClamWin to give it real-time scanning abilities.
Cons
Unfortunately this product did not deliver as promised. It is still pre-release (version 0.6.6), but it hasn't been updated since April '07. When I installed it on a Win2K server it gave me a compatibility error report, which I posted on the project's site at SourceForge. When I installed on a WinXP machine, it caused the machine to pretty much lock up as in continued to consume 90+ percent of the processor.

Version: Winpooch 0.6.6
Cons
I downloaded this, installed it and I got a pooch sitting in the middle of my desktop and my computer locked up. I had to start in safe mode to uninstall it
