About this tag
ClamWin is a free, open-source antivirus program for Windows that appears in discussions about troubleshooting slow systems, Windows Update failures, and automated scanning on Windows XP and Windows 7. Users mention using ClamWin to scan for viruses when other tools found nothing, or as a replacement for antivirus software that could not update. The tag also covers challenges running ClamWin scans from a standard user account due to security restrictions, and attempts to schedule scans via command line. These threads reflect ClamWin's role as a lightweight, command-line-friendly antivirus option for older Windows versions and for users seeking an alternative to mainstream security suites.
