ClamAV is an open source antivirus software designed for detecting Trojans, viruses, malware, and other malicious threats. It is also a powerful and effective mail gateway scanner.
In the latest version of ClamAV for Windows, you can utilize the 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.
So, any time someone in the ClamAV community encounters a threat, everyone else in the community gains protection from that same threat.
Why is this feature great? Well, for starters, you no longer have to rely on developers to send updates with security patches you need to install. ClamAV will make sure you are up-to-date, without even having to update your software, or be aware of the problem!
Cyber criminals are constantly looking for vulnerabilities and different ways to attack your system—it’s a best practice to always update your antivirus software. With ClamAV, you can rest knowing that your computer will always be protected while you are online.
In addition to ClamAV’s cloud power, it also includes a number of useful features. It provides a high performance multi-threaded scanning daemon, command line utilities for on-demand scanning, and an in intelligent tool for automatic database updates. The core of the package is an antivirus engine available in the form of a shared library.
