Please FIND the Open Source Windows Anti-Virus http://www.clamwin.com/

And

Windows Open Source Anti-spyware http://winpooch.free.fr/home/index.php

Note:

If ur to install them, 1st install clamwin anti-virus then install winpooch kwebihaf....... Why would you use either of these products when there are many proven alternatives .........   How long have you been using them ........

The latest version of Clamwin Free ANTIVIRUS is 0.88.2.3
Please note that [highlight]ClamWin Free Antivirus does not include an on-access real-[/highlight][highlight]time scanner.[/highlight] You need to manually scan a file in order to detect a virus or spyware.

Why ClamWin Free Antivirus is not recognised by Windows Security Centre?    
ClamWin Free Antivirus does not scan files automatically (that is when you access or open a file), you need to scan a suspicious file manually before opening it. Hence ClamWin does not offer fully automatic virus protection and does not integrate with Windows XP SP2 Security Centre.

This will change once the on-access scanning component is released and ClamWin team is working on it.

Please note that if you use [highlight]MS Outlook email client (not MS Outlook Express)[/highlight] then all emails are scanned automatically when you open them.

Reading comments from users indicate that it works , but just how well doesnt seem to be documented ....nor have I seen any comparisons to some of the more established AV scanners .   If you have that info , please post it as it may be useful.

I'm good with AVG free and spybotdl65 ...

About Clamwin, [highlight]ClamWin Free Antivirus does not include an on-access real-time scanner[/highlight], this true but when Winpooch is installed, it  (Winpooch) acts as the on-access real time scanner. if you visit the winpooch site http://winpooch.free.fr/home/index.php you will see that when Winpooch is combined with Clamwin, the combination makes a powerful security tool..

More on Winpooch, it uses API hooking to detect spywares, which an effective method to detect spywares and viruses.

So i say install both Winpooch and  Clamwin and you will realise you ave got  Powerful security tools that r  free..

Abou how long iave used it, its not so for long about 1 month, but i ave realised the difference btn them and other anti-virus and anti-spyware programs.

The choice is yours.
