The open source project ClamWin Portable would like to establish itself as an alternative to virus scanners of commercial providers. The ClamWin Portable does not install itself as a virus monitor, so it does not affect the performance of the PC at all and can be used as a second scanner in addition to most antivirus programs. ClamWin Portable scans hard drives and has a simple time control that is not relevant for mobile use. The built-in online update function for the virus signature database must be called manually after the program start.
In contrast to commercial virus scanners, the tool is a complete new development, which does not need to be entrained in the source code entrained old loads for years. After the program start of ClamWin Portable you load the current virus database. A background monitor is to follow in one of the next versions.
