Global Sentinel

Global Sentinel is a lightweight, real-time protection interface for ClamWin and ClamAV. It bridges the gap by adding active background monitoring, automated scanning, and a sleek GUI to manage your open-source antivirus tools on Windows.

🚀 Features

  • Virus Database: Custom database and definition storage
  • Quarantine Folder: Isolated directory for flagged threats
• Custom Whitelisting: Quickly exclude trusted files or folders to bypass real-time scanning.
