[ale] [OT] clam av for windows

[Jim Kinney]

f-prot. highly effective and very affordable. The windows world
requires ancillary tools that MUST be used.

Sadly, most windows users are not competent enough as baby sys-admins
to be left alone on their systems. Part of me says the systems is sold
at <local retailer> with a time out on the system working at all. once
the antivirus has not been updated in 30 days, the system refuses to
function until it is cleared by a pro at the repair shop.
