[clamav-users] R: Re: R: Re: ClamAV for windows: GUI and chocolatey package

[Erotavlas_turbo at libero.it]

Thank you for your reply. I'm looking for and open source and free, in the 
sense of freedom, AV.
However, since I have asked about AV for windows which is all except that free 
and user privacy friendly, I can take a look at immunet.
Can you tell me if immunet uses ads, adware and something similar?

Thank you
