Hello,

First of all, congratulations and thanks for a great antivirus!

May I suggest that more that one drive (or folder) can be selected for scanning? Thank you very much!

Regards.

You can select a drive for scanning. Just right click on the drive letter and select the ClamWin scan.

By the way, it appears that ClamWin is no longer in development. The program itself has not been updated since March 2018, although we still get the signature updates from the Clam AV Project for Linux email servers. ClamWin is also only an on-demand scanner, and you need a constant, real-time scanner for good protection against today's smart malware.

Thanks for using ClamWin!

Regards,

Yep - it was a long time between version updates. Our Clam AV source for ClamWin has started an End Of Life procedure for older versions and no longer supports them. This should speed up ClamWin versions, unless the ClamWin developers think of a way to suppress EOL on ClamWin or decide to no longer support it. ClamWin currently mirrors the Clam version number. Clam AV is getting some good technology, but a lot of it hasn't gotten in ClamWin.
