Where ClamAV fits
It fits server-side file checks and scripted scanning workflows where a traditional desktop suite is unnecessary.
Check before you choose
Plan how signatures will be updated and how detected files will be quarantined in your environment.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Start by checking the protection already running on your device. A permanent security suite, a portable scanner and a browser-cleanup utility are different interventions; installing several at once can complicate diagnosis.
