About

Clam Sentinel is a free and open-source system tray application for Windows, designed to complement ClamWin antivirus by providing real-time, on-access file scanning capabilities that ClamWin lacks. It detects file system changes, scans modified files, and monitors new devices like USB flash drives until the program is closed or the device is removed. Key features include sitting in the system tray, monitoring file system changes, and acting as a scanner. While not an antivirus itself, it enhances antivirus functionality, tagged with "clamwin" and "real-time". It indirectly competes with full-fledged antivirus solutions such as TotalAV, Avast Free Antivirus, AntiSpy, SafeNetBrowser, SecureMac, Kaspersky Security Cloud Free, Malwarebytes, and BitDefender Antivirus Plus. The project maintains a social media presence on Twitter via @alternativeto.
