Winpooch test result
Dec 19, 2007 Reviews
After trying it up in a few high end machines (HP 7700 - Core 2 Duo 2.13Ghz with 4GB DDR2 866Mhz RAM), I noticed that after installation of Winpooch and Clamwin, the machines tend to lag and applications starts to slow down. After removing the software, the machines went back to its super fast operation. Not sure if this is caused by Winpooch, but I will do further test.

Winpooch - An open source Anti Spyware and Antivirus
Dec 16, 2007 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.
