    Review ClamWin

    ClamWin Free Antivirus is a platform oriented to computer security, which will allow us to eliminate all kinds of malicious software from the computer, among which we can mention viruses, spyware, or adware, for example. Among its main features, we must say that it offers constant updates so that we can be completely calm in its protective environment.

    Another stunning detail of this application is that it allows integration with various Microsoft systems, such as the Internet Explorer browser or the Outlook email service. In this way, it will be elementary to control your computer's security since you will also be able to do it via the Internet, through your browser, without having to open the platform completely all the time.

    Unlike other security services that can be somewhat invasive, ClamWin Free Antivirus stands out because it works only when we run it, without being a nuisance to run by itself. This is a considerable advantage, mainly because it will prevent us from feeling that the computer slows down from time to time, which usually happens when an antivirus runs in the background.

    Likewise, suppose you are one of those users who prefer real-time protection. In that case, you should know that ClamWin Free Antivirus has an option that allows us to keep it running all the time. However, in our tests, we have confirmed that this is unnecessary, and we recommend that you only run it when you consider it necessary.

    This service will allow you to manually analyze all the spaces on your PC, such as memory or disk, through the previous programming to work simultaneously when you are away from home. At the same time, you also have an ideal environment to avoid the intrusion of viruses, worms, and Trojans on your computer, so do not forget to take it into account in these situations.

    We have also found it extremely interesting that this program could integrate with the browser Mozilla Firefox, one of the most used browsers in the world, allowing its execution through an extension. This will enable you to perform your file analysis while you download it to prevent the files from reaching your computer's disk in case they are malicious.

    Suppose you want, and you are sure, that a particular virus negatively affects your computer's operation. In that case, you should know that you have the possibility of specifically searching for this harmful content. This way, you will make the scan much shorter than usual, saving time and confirming or ruling out the presence of that particular virus or malware. As far as the application's design is concerned, we must say that it is simple to intuit, not only for those who do not know this particular program but also for those who have never installed an antivirus on their computer. We are sure that not even novice users will have difficulties when it comes to running some of its primary functions, so there is not much negative to point out in this regard.

    If we mention the main strong points of ClamWin Free Antivirus, we must first stop at the constant and frequent updates that this protection system offers us. At the same time, we can schedule the scans to be performed when we are away from home, and why not mention it? The quick scan is fast, something that does not always happen.

    On the side of the less attractive points of this program, we will undoubtedly have to point out in the first instance that it does not offer real-time protection, something that, although it makes it less intrusive, as we said, also leaves us unprotected at times. At the same time, we have felt that its fast scanning is so fast that it has no real time to find possible threats, so we do not trust it.

    In any case, as a summary, we can point out that ClamWin Free Antivirus is a good alternative for the security of operating environments Windows is concerned with, with an excellent integration to some of its other services. It is possibly not the most secure antivirus of all, but if you think you are at a shallow risk and could give you a hand, you should not fail to install it on your computer.

    Finally, we also wanted to mention that this software has a portable version, which does not require any prior installation before running. You can take it with you on a USB memory stick to use on any computer. If you work on several computers during the day and are afraid that some of them may be infected, running this protection system on your computer is best.
