![]() It is perhaps the only AV choice for older computers. ![]() It is very easy for most people to use Sentinel after they have read the Simple Guide, and all users should do so. I rate Clam Sentinel as a good antivirus (AV). Clam Sentinel does it's job just fine and you can always disable the suspicious file detection. ClamAV determines what is or isn't a virus, not Clam Sentinel. And with ClamAV being one of the few AV products to detect and completely remove some really obscure viruses for me in the past, I have complete trust in it's abilities, even if it is a little too quick to quarantine sometimes.Īll the complaints about this product neglect to mention that the problem is to do with the ClamAV definitions. ClamWin in combination with Clam Sentinel suits my needs exactly. Although I do recommend Avast! for anyone who is super paranoid or can't keep their system clean. I just don't need something as comprehensive as Avast!. I'm not stupid with my internet habits, I block Ads, and I'll rarely introduce something I don't completely trust onto my PC. ![]() Last thing I'll mention is, as a gamer I like my AV option to be lean, unobtrusive and easily switched off. it's lean and efficient and has only the mandatory functionality. As it is, it feels tacked on and hacky but in a good way :). It's a shame Clam Sentinel isn't part of ClamWin, even if it felt tacked on or a bit hacky it would give ClamWin that usefulness that I need it to have. To add, it was quite bloated and the Ads annoyed me.Ĭoming from a *nix background I always wanted something ClamAV based on windows and ClamWin just didn't quite cut it. I tried immunet for a while but it was causing me a lot of grief with moveslink/movescount, detecting it as a false positive no matter what I did. You'll have to turn it off now and then as it will strip files from a steam download requiring you to re-validate the cache of a game (not normally a lot to re-download, a couple of hundred K) or re-initiate a download through chrome due to file name obfuscation but in all honesty, these are minor things compared to knowing you are safe. Not for the faint of heart, using ClamAV as a backend means you'll get a lot of false positives but you'll learn a lot about which files your system needs to function correctly :)
