Developer’s Description

Protect your system with antivirus that uses cloud-based and community-based detection methods.

ClamAV for Windows utilizes advanced Cloud-based and community-based detection methods. These detection methods leverage the computers of your friends, family and a worldwide global community to harness their collective knowledge for securing your PC. Every time someone in this collective community encounters a threat, everyone else in the community gains protection from that same threat in real time. You no longer have to rely on the isolated security of your current Anti-Virus vendor. You are able to protect your friends and family while being better protected yourself.

t's free for a reason
windows7codecs-comAugust 1, 2011
Pros
The application is free.
Cons
ClamAV has a long history of false positives eg. search google for "ClamAV false positive". The false positives have the effect of fooling end users into believing that the anti-virus application works well.
Summary
Very significant false positives from ClamAV include NSIS installers, Winamp player, Macromedia Flash, Macromedia Shockwave Player etc. etc. etc. When false positives are reported to the developers for correction ClamAV is extremely slow to update. The ClamAV database is also distributed by other developers on other platforms, which in turn leads to an even larger base of false positives. If you want something that is both reliable and won't hinder your experience on the web there are better applications out there, but they are not free.
Good extra protection over existing AV
trickpirataJuly 30, 2010
Pros
- Doesn't slow down your PC - fast scanning(though it only scans your computer memory) - cloud based AV - good interface - works well with other AV
Cons
- Doesn't have an offline scanner - NO right click context menu scan(right click>scan with blah blah)
Summary
Clam AV is a good program(even the clam av offline scanner). This is a good EXTRA protection over existing AV. It will enhance your security. But this program needs to improve, maybe add a right click context menu scanner. 4 stars for me.

rohitgovindrajJune 9, 2010
Pros
An extra layer of protection over existing AV
Cons
No way to evaluate effectiveness unless you wait for a long time for some action
Summary
So silent, you forget about it altogether. Very light on memory, and having it simply enhances security.
Excellent free product
Lucy321May 7, 2010
Pros
This product detected three critical objects, which my usual scanner failed to detect. The scanning is fast and the tool is light on resources, so will not slow your computer down and use too much ram
Cons
None at the moment
Summary
If your computer has slowed down a bit, it is worth downloading this and give it a health check. I am happy with this
Light, fast and efficient!

Pros
I installed this previous to it being on Download.com and I have nothing but praise for it. It detects threats for me and is fast and very light.
Cons
I do wish it was a little more fully featured. The 2.0 version is supposed to fix this though and it's shipping this summer.
Summary
This is worth installing. It can install alongside other Anti-Virus with no visible performance hit.
