ClamWin - a free antivirus for Windows

ClamWin is an antivirus software used to detect viruses in Microsoft Windows Operating System. It is an open source software that can be used freely.  Actually i think that a graphical user interface is provided to the ClamAV engine or Clam Antivirus to develop this ClamWin Antivirus Program. Anyways it is licensed under the GNU General Public License and so you can really enjoy freedom, you can even distribute it freely.
This ClamWin Program has superior finding rates for Viruses and Spyware. It supports Scanning Scheduler and also regularly downloads and updates latest Virus Database automatically. The virus-infected attachments are automatically removed by adding it to the Microsoft outlook.
ClamWin Free Antivirus can be used in a popular archive software, WinZip. It can be done by selecting Virus Scan from Actions menu inside archives. Automatic scanning of files cannot be done by ClamWin. But this may include in the coming main version updates and the development is in progress since December 2005. Downloading of files with ClamWin is processed by the existence of the Firefox extensions.

0.97.5 is the most recent version of ClamWin Free Antivirus where virus or spyware is detected  by scanning a file manually. It has right click menu integration option for microsoft windows explorer and is very useful to scan files quickly within the explorer. For you information over 600,000 users globally use ClamWin Free Antivirus daily, so you're also welcome to use this antivirus for free of cost.
