Clam Sentinel Reviews

I have been using this application for a few months now. It has on occasion been of good value in rooting out some suspicious files (though the really bad ones have simultaneously been spotted by Microsoft Security Essentials). However, on my wife's machine, it has quarantined perfectly harmless files during download of bona fide games, which have corrupted the installations. On my machine, it has, tonight, decided that the Windows system files involved in starting up my Network (internet access) are suspicious. Therefore - I have had to uninstall it from my machine, and I think I may as well so the same for my wife's machine, as she doesn't always remember to turn it off before downloading her games (switching it off at any point rather defeats the whole object really). It is a shame that Clam Sentinel is ultimately let down by its failure to realise false positives when it sees them. Quarantining valid Windows files is an operating system sacrilege, unfortunately.
