    my bad you can't use it anymore :(

    Apparently, this work around has been “fixed” by the fine folks at Microsoft. The only option is to install Microsoft ForeFront.

    Please note that ClamWin Free Antivirus does not include an on-access real-time scanner. You need to manually scan a file in order to detect a virus or spyware.

    F-prot is about as cheap as you will get - 10 licenses for €39
    but doesn't say 2008 though :(
