I made this simple integration of ClamAV in windows.

You can automagically ™️ keep virus database updated, and run virus check on demand inside File Explorer. Just right click the file or folder.

When you install ClamAV, consider to use default path configuration.
Also remember to install it as service: "c:\Program Files\ClamAV\clamd.exe" --install-service

Usage

1. Download all files and extract them into your profile folder C:\Users\YourName.
2. Import Registry keys (maybe you want to configure them).
3. Import the XML scheduled task (maybe you want to configure it).
