How BleachBit could be the number 1 universal tool...

So I have been thinking, and I have seen the new (well to me) shred feature, This well got me thinking of AVG.
I know this could be over the top but BleachBit would be my number one tool if it had a small anti-virus with and exceptions feature. And it would stick it to AVG with it's annoying offers and pop-ups with it. Andrew you don't have to make this feature but I think it would be great :). Thanks for everything you do and keep it up!

Thank you for the suggestion and the compliment. I use AVG on one system, and the pop-ups and updates look like they are trying to pay their bells.

However, anti-virus is hard to do well, so ... :)

I think I would prefer the open-source ClamWin anti-virus over AVG, but that is my opinion.

Thanks for the comment! I've been looking for an open-soure anti-virus.

Does it check for viruses automatically like most anti-viruses?

ClamWin currently does not have a real-time protection module, but that is being added in 1.0, which hopefully will be released sometime, soon. If you have any questions about it, I am also a moderator for ClamWin, too. You can sign up on the forums over there and I can assist you.
