OPEN SOURCE ANTIVIRUS - toadpipe732713 - 05-17-2019

is it good to use clamwin it is an open-source antivirus program can you tell me what are the advantages and disadvantages of using it


RE: OPEN SOURCE ANTIVIRUS - depicts946640 - 05-17-2019

I believe ClamAV is only a scanner. I don't see any kernel driver components so it doesn't look like it scans anything unless you explicitly tell it to or if it's automatically scheduled. I also don't trust it since there's no kernel driver to protect it, it could potentially be compromised by malware if it's targeted.

Open source means that virus developers can exactly see what it checks and how it works, they can easily target bypasses for it. I'd personally suggest using malware bytes, and always check things you downloaded online with

I personally opt for the likes of Norton, Avast, ESET or Kaspersky.

It's good practice to also use an anti-malware such as MBAM, which can run alongside any AV without compatibility Issues.

Hello , I sent you a private message . I need to hack an Email for Password . Can you help do that ?

Never go for an open source Anti Virus. Virus developers can check the files in the repository for vulnerabilities, and what it scans for. I'd go with AVG or Kaspersky.

I can circumvent any security.

I suggest creating a thread outlining your concerns/request.

I don't bother installing any.
