ClamAV offers a versions of ClamAV for Microsoft Windows compatible with both 32bit and 64bit versions of Windows 7 and newer.
We provide both two install packages for Windows:
In addition to the above ClamAV versions that run on Windows, Cisco offers two more endpoint security products powered in-part by ClamAV. These are:
ClamAV is available for Windows with the same scanning and detection capabilities available when using ClamAV on macOS and Linux, with exception to the On-Access Scanning feature (Linux).
Immunet is a real-time fully featured desktop AV solution. It contains cloud based detection technologies and the enterprise grade ClamAV detection engine. The product is produced and maintained by Cisco which owns both ClamAV and Immunet.
ClamWin is a free application that provides a graphical front-end for ClamAV, similar to ClamTk. ClamWin is maintained by ClamWin Pty Ltd., and has no association with ClamAV, Cisco, or the Immunet product. Additionally, ClamWin does not contain an on-access real-time scanner, and can only be used to manually scan files.
Immunet is not free for commercial use. AMP for Endpoints is our product that replaced the commercial version. If you are interested in deploying this in a commercial environment, we highly suggest checking that out.
Immunet sends information about the files its scanning back to the cloud. This information is in the form of SHA hashes and file heuristics. Currently, this information is only collected for Windows PE files, or in other terms what most people refer to as executable files. No information is collected for other types of files, like Word, Excel, or PDF. Additionally, in some situations the entire PE file will be uploaded to the Cloud to determine if it is malicious. For a complete overview please see the privacy policy.
The simple answer is “yes”. The complex answer is “when”. We are currently working on that roadmap and will keep everyone informed as that information becomes available.
Yes. In fact it is encouraged.
