Ah what the frick, I'll DLl it and give it a shot. Let you know what I think after.
Update: when running the application uses about 100 megs of ram, seems a little steep. Other than that it seems fine, update worked fine, installed quick, caught the test viruses fine. Just work on the memory issue and this might go somewhere.

clamwin is not realtime-duhh. Gui is now much cleaner and update process is more robust. Apparently the date is now the current version identifier (previous versions were confounding). For a virus smackdown that's fine by me.
no vista support yet? no, that's fine by me too.

Very inefficient and unprofessional. If you're going to use a Windows AV solution that uses ClamAV as it's basis. why not use ClamWin?
Reviewing 2.2.2.158 (Jan 14, 2008)
I hope that using clamav makes up for what it lacks in the interface.
- It froze when scanning all files (not ziped). I found it was hanging on "zdone.dat", from Symantec. Renaming the file avoided the hangup. Strange, it must half-way think it's done when given that filename.
- I was afraid by the terrible english in dialogs. Any hacker could mimic that from whatever country!
- I tried to temporarily disable realtime scanning. Obviously there are reasons for this option. Instead, it gave me a dialog saying it is not a good idea, and refused to do what I asked !
+ After uninstalling Symantec AV, it completed a "deep" scan without trouble (though it didn't detect anything). I'm happy then. Of course I also installed w32.clamav.net for completeness.
+ I like the frequent updates.
Overall, I like this product. I hope to see more bug fixes, but I found acceptable workarounds.
