ClamWin anti-virus opinions?

[afraser2k]

I'm looking into the free anti-virus options for Windows and found that there was a Windows version of ClamAV, an open source anti-virus solution for Linux. It doesn't do on-access scanning unfortunately but it seems a lot better than others I've used. The lack of on-access scanning doesn't really bother me at the moment as I always scan file downloads anyway before launching (okay I'm a bit paranoid).

Does anyone else use this on any of their systems or opinions on it?

I use clam av on our linux mail server and it works great. I had installed the windows port on one of our windows servers and the only problem I had was that I needed to keep a user logged in for the scan to run at the scheduled time.

We adopted a volume licence for grisoft's avg around a month ago, or I would still be using it.

Well I'm thinking of switching the other way around, from AVG Pro to ClamWin as I don't want to pay for anti-virus. I've installed it on my desktop at home to see what it's like so I should see if I get any viruses soon.

The best solution would be to have a Linux desktop with anti-virus that could scan every desktop on my network remotely. Not sure if anything is capable of that though.
