winpooch uses api hooking that is a different approach... anyway what is the point?

Virus scan in Clamwin real-timelly... like Winpooch does

Clamwin is a formidable anti-virus tool... but, in order to be installed in corporations, it really needs a real-time scanner.
I don´t think winpooch uses api hooking to do the real-time scanning.. but I`m a fool about development... =)

So, here is my suggestion again:
The winpooch has all the Modules necessary to do the real time scan... right?
Its language is C, and I already took a look at its modules - it has specific modules for the Clamwin real-time scan.
So... why cant we use that modules?

because this way we'll make winpooch, there is already a winpooch it uses same engine (clamav)

btw winpooch uses api hooking, read at the front page

Below is a link to an article on API hooking which might give you some useful information.

I don´t think so...
Last Winpooch version sux (Clamav intgrated), it´s too slow and noisy (pop-ups always), doesnt have silent install and can be easily shut down by the user - so it can´t be a corporate solution.
So, what´s the issue of using the api hooking make the real-time scanner? Just scanning files on the background, every time they are opened?
I think this is the ultimate barrier to make the Clamwin a complete AV solution (and 100% GPL, what it´s VERY important).

check out what open anti-virus did they had a open source virus scanner for windows with real time scanning https://sourceforge.net/projects/openantivirus/ https://www.openantivirus.org/

I recently downloaded the current (beta) Winpooch, and it took over my computer a la McAfee/Norton. The stable version may be better, but the situation was enough to make me forget about it, and I really like Open Source.

ClamAV took over from Open Antivirus, and it appears to be doing a better job. ClamWin is an offshoot from ClamAV. It's tough to get a decent open source antivirus program, and my hat/thanks is off to all of them. Perhaps next year we will see version 1.0!

Good point, Hector. Someone should look into it.

Regards,

will this have the ability to scan files as there download

DGM: Yes it will.

By the way, if you use Firefox, There is an extension called ClamWin Glue for FireFox, which scans files with ClamWin automatically after download.

How soon before Clamwin comes out with the realtime scanning option?

Thanks

When will ClamWin real-time scanning be available?
