Very slow. Very thorough. Beware false positives.

since you asked ... i'm not terribly impressed by what i've heard. it's
not well respected on the virus and anti-virus forums / Usenet / etc.

i will reserve judgement till i test it on live malware. admittedly
some persons may be anti-opensource and biased.

it's worth a shot, but not as a primary desktop AV without a backup app.

As I recall the current F-Prot (Win), it appears (?) to be rather "bloated"
(ymmv), etc., etc. ClamWin, on the other hand, is reminiscent
(appearence-wise, at least) of much-earlier anti-vir proggy's (circa later
Win95's/Win98, etc.), with their speed.
As a sidenote, I seem to recall ClamWin detecting much of what was also
found by Kaspersky (although not always with the same name <g>)
I hope that helps
