ClamTk was a free and open-source graphical interface for the ClamAV command-line antivirus software program for Linux desktop users. It provided both on-demand and scheduled scanning. The project was started by Dave Mauroni in February 2004.[2][3][4] As of April 2024, the program is no longer maintained.[5]

ClamTk was originally written using the Tk widget toolkit, for which it is named, but it was later re-written in Perl, using the GTK toolkit. The interface has evolved considerably over time and recent versions are quite different than early releases, adding features and changing the interface presentation. It was dual-licensed under the GNU General Public License version 1 or later, and the Artistic License.[2][6][7][8]
