I've always heard ClamAV on Windows is dog slow. Anyone have any numbers?

It's not fast - but you can tune what/when it scans

Just did a test, C drive with 40Gb of Windows + program installs, a default settings initial full scan on a reasonably good machine.

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------

Known viruses: 925205 Engine version: 0.97 Scanned directories: 17693 Scanned files: 99960 Infected files: 0

Data scanned: 15352.83 MB Data read: 15506.05 MB (ratio 0.99:1) Time: 2863.965 sec (47 m 43 s)

Thanks. How about real time scan? Is it noticeably slower than the proprietary competition?

Recommend taking a look at Immunet, it's for Windows, and has ClamAV built in.
