Winpooch - An open source Anti Spyware and Antivirus

December 16th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Reviews

While searching for alternative anti-spyware and anti-virus, I stumble upon a promising GNU GPL licensed windows watchdog - the Winpooch. Some features listed on their website includes:-

  • Description: detection of spywares and trojans. It becomes an anti virus if associated with ClamWin
  • Development Status: open source project in progess
  • Environment: Win32 (MS Windows)
  • License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
  • Natural Language: English, French, Italian, Polish
  • Operating System: 32-bit MS Windows (NT/2000/XP)
  • Programming Language: C

The interesting part is, it works together with ClamWin to make it real-time virus scanner. Will this actually slow down the workstations?

Will be testing it out on our computer labs. Stay tune for the results.
