ClamWin can remove/quarantine/report detected viruses depending upon how you have set the infected file option. You can change the option via Tools, Preferences, General tab. It is unusual to have more than 1 or 2 viruses detected in one scan. The Clam AV scan engine used by ClamWin is subject to false positive detections, so I suggest that you get a copy of Malwarebytes Antimalware Free (MBAM) and do a scan with it. Also get a copy of the free Kaspersky TDSS Killer, which will detect/remove common hidden rootkit malware. MBAM has to be installed on a computer, but you can run TDSS Killer from a USB. If you do not find any viruses, you can "whitelist" or exclude the files from ClamWin scans via Tools, Preferences, Filters, Exclude Matching Filenames. As a final check, if you do not find any viruses, get into Windows Safe Mode, and run MBAM and TDSS scans from there. Many viruses can be detected in Safe Mode.
The ClamWin developers suggest that you use ClamWin as a second opinion/backup scanner to a real-time AV like Windows Defender/Security Essentials, Avira, Avast, or AVG (they are all free for personal use). Thanks for using ClamWin! Regards, |

When you get many detections for the same virus, it is often a false positive detection. That is why I suggested that you use Malwarebytes to verify/clean the detections. If Malwarebytes does not detect an exploit, it is a false detection by ClamWin, so you can whitelist the files in ClamWin that are falsely detected. Instead of whitelisting, you could upload one of the files to Virus Total, which will tell Clam AV about the false detection so they can change the Clam AV signature. ClamWin will then get the corrected signature.
Keep Malwarebytes installed and do a daily scan with it. Also, run one of the AVs that are free for personal use. Keep ClamWin for a "second opinion" scanner. Regards, |
