Hello,

we want to know can we use to make Antivirus solution using Clamwin Scan Engine. We want to make it in Visual Basic or Dot Net using your libclamav.dll ?

Please tell us the legal issue on it or for the same? is it legal or not?

thanks in advance.

The scan engine used by ClamWin is from Clam AV, which is a GNU general public license. Many projects use the Clam AV engine, but they must abide by the GNU license, which among other things, requires them to make the source code available. There are links to more information about the license on the ClamWin main web page.

Most AV software is written in C++ or similar, I believe, because it allows them to get down at a lower level for coding. However, Malwarebytes is written in Visual Basic (at least parts of it), I understand.

Good luck!

Is Malwarebytes GNU ? Is Malwarebytes using Clamwin Engine ?

Like most AV programs, Malwarebytes is a commercial program with its own copyrighted scan engine, so you can not use it. Visual Basic might be a bit slow for an antivirus. You might look into Delphi.

We want to know any Antivirus which uses Clamwin Engine and providing complete Source Code ?

To my knowledge, Clam AV is the only such AV.

It Means No One is using Clamwin engine in the World ?

The ClamWin scan engine is the Clam AV engine. ClamWin just adds a GUI to it and ports it over from Linux to Windows. You can use the ClamWin source code if you abide by the GNU General Public License. The ClamWin code is heavily dependent upon Python. Clam AV used to have a native Windows port but I have not seen anything about it lately. There is also a native Windows port available from Sherpya's web page.

This is the ClamWin forum. I suggest you try to contact Clam AV for further information.
