Hello everyone,  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

Currently my company is sorting for antivirus solutions for all our company's PCs. Our main priority is to save cost so we are focusing more on open source solutions.. So, I've got a few questions in my mind, hope that all the kind people here can give me some opinions and thoughts. My questions are:

1) Are there any other open source antivirus out there beside Clam Av?
[COLOR=red]AVG & Avast, also look for kapersky labs

2) What's the pros of this Clam AV based on your experience?
[COLOR=red]Free(open source), have update, amond the best AV, popular, and this AV running in our firewall

3) What's the cons of this Clam AV based on your experience?
[COLOR=red]Still testing

4) Can Clam AV cleans and remove all the viruses that it detects in the wild, cause I've heard some user claims that Clam AV can only scan for viruses but have not capability to remove them..is this true?
[COLOR=red]Nops

5) Can we schedule Clam AV to scan for viruses at a specific time and date?

6) Can we distribute the Clam AV virus definition update from one focker point to all the available clients?

Thanks you in advance..

Below are the official URL for Clam AV:

The popular one is AVG and Avast because Clam AV before just running in Linux platform. Clam AV is quite good anti virus but we not usually turn it on in our firewall. Better u using AVG, so easy to use but it's slow ur computer when scanning.
