Effective antivirus

The Internet is an inexhaustible source of all kinds of information, but it's also full of all kinds of dangers. Malware often infiltrates users' computers through downloaded files, emails, and other channels. That is why it is very important to have a reliable antivirus with updated signature databases on your computer.

ClamAV is one of those antiviruses. Although it is worth mentioning that it differs from most of the usual solutions. It searches for various types of malware in the same way and gets rid of them. However, it has a graphical interface and operates from the command line. It is also targeted primarily at mail servers, which is why its target audience is network administrators rather than ordinary users.

The antivirus includes several command line utilities. They are designed for multi-threaded virus scanning, fast on-demand system scanning and antivirus database updates. As already mentioned, it has no graphical interface. All actions are performed by special commands. The advantage of this approach is that the anti-virus leaves small traces in the system and has higher performance, which is especially important when dealing with large amounts of data.

You can download ClamAV for Windows for free from freeSOFT.ru.
