[Cisco Secure Endpoint](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/amp-for-endpoints/index.html) (formerly AMP for Endpoints) is Cisco's cloud-based security suite for commercial and enterprise customers. Secure Endpoint is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS and provides superior malware detection capabilities, behavioral monitoring, dynamic file analysis, endpoint isolation, analytics, and threat hunting. Secure Endpoint sports a modern administrative web interface (dashboard).

[Immunet](https://www.immunet.com/) is a cloud-based antivirus application for Windows that is free for non-commercial use. Immunet offers great malware detection efficacy but, as a completely free product, Immunet's does not have same features or the quality user experience that Secure Endpoint offers. There is an Immunet user forum but Cisco offers no official user support.

## What is the difference between ClamAV, Immunet, and ClamWin?
## What is the difference between ClamAV and ClamWin?

**ClamAV** is available for Windows with the same scanning and detection capabilities available when using ClamAV on macOS and Linux, with exception to the On-Access Scanning feature (Linux).

**Immunet** is a real-time fully featured desktop AV solution. It contains cloud based detection technologies and the enterprise grade ClamAV detection engine. The product is produced and maintained by Cisco which owns both ClamAV and Immunet.

**ClamWin** is a free application that provides a graphical front-end for ClamAV, similar to ClamTk. ClamWin is maintained by ClamWin Pty Ltd., and has no association with *ClamAV*, *Cisco*, or the *Immunet* product. Additionally, *ClamWin* does not contain an on-access real-time scanner, and can only be used to manually scan files.

## Is Immunet free for commercial use?

Immunet is not free for commercial use. [Cisco Secure Endpoint] (formerly AMP for Endpoints) is our product that replaced the commercial version. If you are interested in deploying this in a commercial environment, we highly suggest checking that out.

## Will Immunet send any sensitive data from my computer to the cloud?

Immunet sends information about the files its scanning back to the cloud. This information is in the form of SHA hashes and file heuristics. Currently, this information is only collected for Windows PE files, or in other terms what most people refer to as executable files. No information is collected for other types of files, like Word, Excel, or PDF. Additionally, in some situations the entire PE file will be uploaded to the Cloud to determine if it is malicious.

## Are you going to make use of the Cloud in ClamAV?

No. Users that want a lighter memory footprint and additional advanced detection features of an endpoint security suite should look to Immunet or Cisco Secure Endpoint.

## Can I use Immunet with my current AV solution?

Yes. In fact it is encouraged.
