CLAM anti virus

[Jerry Natowitz]

At some point in the past I decided to start running clam av on my 
personal computers.  Aside from taking about 10 seconds to startup, and 
occasionally telling me that a new version is available, I haven't been 
aware of it.

Is it just a feel-good daemon or is it a first line defense against 
Trojans, malware, viruses, and what-not that I've simply been lucky not 
to have encountered?

For the record, my windows partitions all run Norton Internet Security, 
and it has been years since it complained about anything worse than 
tracking cookies.
