Hi, whenever it is possible, I prefer to avoid using closed source and proprietary software. For this reason, I'm looking for an open source and free (deep sense) AV. I read in your website and on the web that clamAV: includes a number of utilities: a command-line scanner, automatic database updater and a scalable multi-threaded daemon, running on an anti-virus engine from a shared library. So I would like to use it as standard AV for several cases including mail scanning, real-time file scanning, web protection as standard AV does. I know that exist several components for windows as: clamwin, clamsentinel and firefox addon fireclam. Since all are based on clamAV, I wonder to know if you are thinking about making an official client with all those capabilities. Considering that exist several proprietary solutions with freeware version based on clamAV (e.g. Immunet).
