Using an Install Package

We provide an installer to install ClamAV on Windows to "C:\Program Files". This install method will require you to have Adminstrator priveleges.

We also provide a "Portable Install Package" (i.e. a zip of the required files) for users that may wish to run ClamAV without installing it to a system-owned directory.

For details on how to use either option, head over to the Windows Install instructions in the User Manual.
