ClamWin doesn't keep a vigil on my processes, I suppose I should scan more as I am running some exe from gamer sites, anyway it let me save and then found the test on scan. I like ClamWin, I suppose it works perfectly, but really all I wanted was something like myself, off doing my own thing and intrested when called upon. Hopefully it does work, anyway I disliked my last program, it got into every nook and cranny (that is not really great when you have this puter and 3D frames running), still I found other (then ClamWin) free programs which brought to mind things not mentioned by that high profile suite.
