Not diss-ing the product, just thinking of the Ordinary User, who needs to know this.... (ClamWin page could do with similar warning)
Can someone clarify wheter clamav detects only Windows viruses, or MacOS and Linux viruses as well. (do the latter exist? ) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.229.242.88 ( talk) 16:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC).
Now that Mac OS Ten is a Unix certified OS, maybe the lead paragraph should mention Unix and Unix-like ... -- Click me! 22:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
I've started an article, Sourcefire, Inc, for the company that develops the Snort and ClamAV free software packages. Contributions very welcome. -- Gronky 09:38, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Has there been any word on whether any version of Clam is vulnerable to the anti-antivirus archive file attack that was just published affecting some 40 vendors? See [2]. Ham Pastrami ( talk) 00:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Just to let you know. The purpose of selecting an article is both to point readers to the article and to highlight it to potential contributors. It will remain on the portal for a week or so. The previous selected article was Amarok - some mature software for organising music files.
For other interesting free software articles, you can take a look at the archive of PF's selectees. -- Gronky ( talk) 23:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
It appears that Immunet Protect is being used by "ClamAV for Windows" ( http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/about/win32/) as announced by the Immunet site ( http://immunet.com/pressreleases?id=13). However, the http://www.clamwin.com/ site has the "new" 0.96 version which is all very confusing... If someone can make sense of this, it would probably be worthwhile to update the appropriate subset of these articles: ( Clam AntiVirus), ClamWin, and Immunet Protect.

User:Jerome Charles Potts tagged this section as out of date. I would be happy to update it, do you have any references? - Ahunt ( talk) 12:53, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
I added a short section about unofficial databases for ClamAV. There are various organizations involved in this activity, some of which I mentioned. I left a red link for Sanesecurity (with a note referencing the link found in the Debian package). I feel most of those people and organizations don't meet Wikipedia:Notability. They themselves don't recount who they are and why they are committed to such activity. Yet, they are many and their activity is noteworthy as such, besides being important for our security.
This topic would certainly deserve its own space if there were multiple free antivirus. Since ClamAV is the only one package of its kind (another unusual case), perhaps it can stay in that section, for the time being. But some expansion is needed. ale ( talk) 08:21, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Clam AntiVirus. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{

Clam AntiVirus → ClamAV – "ClamAV" is the official, trademarked name of the software and to my knowledge has always been its functional name (as in file names and internal documentation) and its common name in plain speech. I can only guess that the motivation for the current expansion in the title is to avoid ambiguity, but I don't believe that should apply here since "ClamAV" is being used as a proper name rather than merely an abbreviation, and I don't see a practical concern that this name is ambiguous - "ClamAV" already redirects here.
