Free Antivirus for Windows - Open source GPL virus scanner

This is very good Antivirus Software and it is Free and Open Source. I us it in my Linux Systems. I has versions for Windblows OS's too. It would be good for a second scanner to double check your scans done with with others, like my favorites, Avast and Comodo Antivirus. It Dose not Have a Real Time (automatic always on scanner). So, I wouldn't depend on it for my only protection in Windows OS's...
