Features

There are Firefox extensions that allow the users to process downloaded files with ClamWin. [2]

No real-time scanning

ClamWin Free Antivirus scans on demand; it does not automatically scan files as they are read and written.

The non-affiliated projects Clam Sentinel and Winpooch are add-ons that provide a real-time scanning capability to ClamWin. [3] [4]
