comments from a developer of anti-virus software

So far, ClamWin does not have on-access scanner, so you need to be careful and scan a suspicious file before opening it.
If you do that, you will be as safe as with a commercial antivirus. User awareness is sometimes better than automatic protection, as it may be easier to break the automatic protection than to fool an educated user.
However, for an average user with little knowledge about online and computer security, the on-access component is a must, and the ClamWin should be used only as a complimentary scanner. We are developing it and will release it in the next major version update.
