    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?

    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.
