ClamAV-GUI is a Windows desktop application written in C# that provides a graphical interface for the open-source ClamAV antivirus engine. It enables users to pick files or folders, run scans, and view comprehensive results without touching the command line.
- Scan files and folders with live progress and detailed scan summaries.
- Real-time monitoring for selected directories with extension filters and exclusions.
- ClamAV daemon controls (start/stop, ping, reload database, supported commands).
- Quarantine management with restore and delete actions.
- Daily scheduled scans using Windows Task Scheduler.
- Health-check diagnostics for installation, configuration, signatures, and daemon availability.
- Scan/update history with search, type filters, and CSV/JSON export.

- Go to the Settings tab and select the root directory of your ClamAV installation.
