we're new to clamav and trying to get a better understanding. we've looked
through the clamav docs and from our understanding, the app appears to be a
mail server oriented spam/virus app. is this pretty much the case..??

Clam's primary target is mail servers, yes.


we're looking for an "open source" app that can be used to do
virus/trojan/etc protection for the linux/windows desktop... kind of like
mcafee/symantec/norton/etc...

The only open source and up to date virus scanner is Clam. Several of the commercial alternatives have free versions for personal use but I guess that will not work for you.


Look here for work going on to broaden the reach of Clam:
