ClamWin Free Antivirus is a software solution that incorporates the ClamAV threat-detection engine. This application is a fast-scanning utility that enables command-line configurations, quick response time to any detected malicious activity, and email safety, especially for Microsoft Outlook, thanks to the corresponding add-in.

ClamWin Free Antivirus is a free, open-source malware detection and removal instrument, with large spectrum applicability. For example, for personal use, the app is useful for people who need a free, uncomplicated solution for scanning and cleaning their entire PC, targeting specific files, or for performing email scans.

At the same time, for more extensive needs, you could use the application for conducting regular checkups on a mail server (let's say for several employee accounts) and sending customized mail alerts (whenever a threat is detected) to a specific distro, a centralized location supervised by an administrator, a specialist, or that is part of a larger automated process.

ClamWin Free Antivirus has the added benefit of being open-source and, therefore, it gets a lot of input from its community that contributes with virus samples, submits bug reports/feature requests (based on actual user needs), and others.

As such, ClamWin Free Antivirus allows you to schedule scans, automatically update the virus database on logon, set up a proxy server connection, add filters for identifying file name patterns you want to include or exclude from PC scans, and configure any other parameters you would want to adjust with command-line commands.

The app targets a wide variety of malicious activity and, thanks to its ClamAV engine, it can identify and remove PC viruses or trojans, detect threats within archived content, perform fast lookups, and spot email phishing.
