ClamWin is a Free Antivirus for Microsoft Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003. It provides a graphical user interface to the Clam AntiVirus engine. It features a command line interface for scanning files, updating the virus definitions, and a daemon for faster scanning needed on high performance systems.
ClamWin Free Antivirus For Windows is a completely free and open source anti-virus software package. It uses the GNU General Public License by the Free Software Foundation.

ClamWin Free Antivirus features:
- High detection rates for viruses and spyware;
- Scanning Scheduler;
- Automatic downloads of Virus Database updates. ClamAV team regularly updates Virus Databases to include a new virus/variant immediately after it appears;
- Standalone Virus Scanner;
- Right-Click Menu Integration to Microsoft Windows Explorer;

Changes in Version 0.90 - 26 February 2006:
- Upgraded ClamAV to 0.90
- Added option to scan only MS Windows Executable files (detection is done by file content rather than extension)
- Added "Email Scanning" tab to preferences with an option to disable scanning of incoming and/or outgoing emails in MS Outlook
- Added "Technical Support" link to Help Menu

Notes: This release includes rather significant upgrade of clamav binaries to version 0.90 as well as an option to scan MS Windows executable files only, which should improve scanning times by skipping media files, etc.
